Abstract
A cellular communication system comprising a population of cellular communication network nodes comprising a stationary core, a plurality of base stations, and at least one node having mobile station functionality; and a client tunneling functionality co-located with the node having mobile station functionality which is operative to use network topology information obtained via the mobile station functionality to initiate generation of a tunnel having a first end at the node and a second far end at the stationary core.

1-20. (canceled)
A cellular communication system comprising:
- a population of cellular communication network nodes comprising a stationary core, a plurality of base stations, and at least one node having mobile station functionality;
- and
- a client tunneling functionality co-located with the node having mobile station functionality which is operative to use network topology information obtained via the mobile station functionality to initiate generation of a tunnel having a first end at the node and a second far end at the stationary core.
A cellular communication method operative in conjunction with a population of cellular communication network nodes comprising a stationary core, a plurality of base stations, the method comprising:
- providing mobile station functionality at at least one node;
- and
- providing client tunneling functionality co-located with the node having mobile station functionality which client tunneling functionality is operative to use network topology information obtained via the mobile station functionality to initiate generation of a tunnel having a first end at the node and a second far end at the stationary core.
