Non-cellular link integration with cellular networks

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• facilitating creation of a first communication path with an access point device that operates according to a protocol that differs from a long term evolution protocol, wherein the first communication path comprising a number of links representing defined logical paths between the user equipment and the access point device;
• determining that the access point device is in proximity to an eNodeB device that operates according to the long term evolution protocol to communicate with a network device of a communication network;
• facilitating creation of a second communication path with the eNodeB device according to the long term evolution protocol that defines bearers indicative of defined virtual communication paths;
• determining mapping data that represents a logical mapping between a bearer of the bearers and a link of the links;
• and
• transmitting uplink data to the network device by way of the first communication path and a third communication path between the eNodeB device and the access point device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a first indication that an access point device that operates according to a protocol that differs from a long term evolution protocol and a user equipment that supports the protocol and the long term evolution protocol are in communication via a first communication path that comprises a number of links that represent first defined virtual communication paths between the user equipment and the access point device, wherein the number is an integer greater than zero;
• receiving, by the system, a second indication that the user equipment and an eNodeB device that operates according to the long term evolution protocol are in communication via a second communication path, wherein the long term evolution protocol specifies bearers representing second defined virtual communication paths;
• determining, by the system, that the access point device and the eNodeB device are co-located and connected by a third communication path;
• generating, by the system, tag data that represents an identifier of a bearer of the bearers that is logically mapped to a link of the links;
• and
• facilitating, by the system, communication of data between the user equipment and a network device in a core network portion of a communication network via the third communication path, wherein the data comprises the tag data.
