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, an access point comprising:

  • a first set of protocol layers for establishing a secure communication path with the network controller to encrypt and provide data integrity for messages exchanged between the particular access point and the network controller;

    a second set of protocol layers for ensuring reliable transport of messages exchanged between the particular access point and the network controller through the secure communication path; and

    a third set of protocol layers for transferring Radio Access Network Application Part (RANAP) messages to the core network through the network controller without modifying content of the RANAP messages, wherein said third set of protocol layers define a header for encapsulating said RANAP messages, said header used for passing said RANAP messages between the particular access point and the network controller.
