1. In a communication system comprising (i) a first network comprising a licensed wireless radio access network and a core network and (ii) a second network comprising a plurality of user hosted access points for establishing service regions of the second network using short range licensed wireless frequencies and a network controller for communicatively coupling user equipment operating in the service regions to the core network, a method of passing a Radio Access Network Application Part (RANAP) message within the second network, the method comprising:

  • identifying the RANAP message comprising a first header;

    encapsulating the RANAP message with a second header without modifying the first header, said second header to specify routing of the RANAP message between a particular access point and the network controller when passing said message to a particular destination; and

    passing the encapsulated RANAP message within the second network using information of the second header.
