System and method for mobility enhanced wi-fi architecture

A computing system for providing Wi-Fi services between a Wi-Fi access gateway and at least one of a first Wi-Fi radio node and a first cellular radio node, wherein the first Wi-Fi radio node and the Wi-Fi access gateway are connected across a first network, the first cellular radio node and the Wi-Fi access gateway are connected across a second network, and the Wi-Fi access gateway provides Wi-Fi services to a device connected to at least one of the first Wi-Fi radio node and the first cellular radio node, wherein the Wi-Fi access gateway comprises a processor configured to:

• establish a first connection with the first Wi-Fi radio node across the first network, wherein the first Wi-Fi radio node is configured to connect to the device when the device is within range of the first Wi-Fi radio node;
• receive first network traffic over the first connection, wherein the first network traffic is associated with the Wi-Fi services for the device, when the device is connected to the first Wi-Fi radio node;
• establish a second connection with the first cellular radio node across the second network, wherein the first cellular radio node is configured to connect to the device when the device is within range of the first cellular radio node and when the device is outside of range of the first Wi-Fi radio node;
• and
• receive second network traffic over the second connection when the device is connected to the first cellular radio node, wherein the second network traffic is associated with the Wi-Fi services for the device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions operable to cause an apparatus to:

• establish a first connection with a first Wi-Fi radio node across a first network, wherein the first Wi-Fi radio node is configured to connect to a device when the device is within range of the first Wi-Fi radio node;
• receive first network traffic over the first connection, wherein the first network traffic is associated with Wi-Fi services for the device, when the device is connected to the first Wi-Fi radio node;
• establish a second connection with a first cellular radio node across a second network, wherein the first cellular radio node is configured to connect to the device when the device is within range of the first cellular radio node and when the device is outside of range of the first Wi-Fi radio node;
• and
• receive second network traffic over the second connection when the device is connected to the first cellular radio node, wherein the second network traffic is associated with the Wi-Fi services for the device.
