1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a mobility management entity (“
- MME”
) to;
process an initial user equipment (“
UE”
) message received from an evolved node B (“
eNB”
) before the eNB forwards a first uplink non-access stratum (“
NAS”
) message, wherein the initial UE message comprises a selected Internet Protocol (“
IP”
) traffic offload (“
SIPTO”
) local gateway (“
L-GW”
) transport layer address based on the eNB support of SIPTO at local network (“
SIPTO@LN”
) function for an Internet access through a local network,wherein the SIPTO L-GW transport layer address is to indicate that a SIPTO L-GW collocates with the eNB.

Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods to establish a connection to the Internet via a local gateway (L-GW) function for a LIPA or a SIPTO@LN. The establishment of the connection to the Internet may be performed, for example, by at least one of an E-RAB SETUP procedure, an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP procedure, an INITIAL UE MESSAGE procedure or an UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT procedure.
