Abstract: The present invention discloses a local network and a method for establishing a connection between a local gateway and a home base station therein. As regards a newly proposed home base station network architecture 1, a mobility management network element receives L-GW information sent by the home base station, selects an L-GW which is located in the same local network as the home base station at least according to the received L-GW information and then informs the L-GW, through an S-GW, of establishing a PDN connection and a tunnel bearer with the home base station, thereby providing a local IP access for a UE. As regards a newly proposed home base station network architecture 2, no direct interface is arranged between the L-GW and the S-GW, the mobility management network element directly selects a corresponding L-GW for establishing a PDN connection for the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved access point discoverability in multi-role multi-channel devices are described. When the multi-role multi-channel device leaves an AP role and then later returns to the AP role, such as when operating in another role, the multi-role multi-channel device sends a unicast probe response to the stations in a predetermined list. The unicast probe response is transmitted even without receiving a corresponding probe request. If one of the stations on the list is in the area and would like to connect to the AP role, it can complete the connection process using information in the response message.
