1. A device comprising:
- a memory to store executable instructions; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the executable instructions, performs operations comprising;
receiving a connection request from user equipment via a wireless link to the user equipment;
determining whether the user equipment is mobile or stationary;
responsive to determining that the user equipment is mobile;
initiating a tunneling protocol link between the user equipment and a mobile management entity of a mobile packet core of a mobile communication network, wherein the mobile management entity assigns a bearer gateway for the user equipment; and
transmitting first packet data from the user equipment to a first service through the bearer gateway via the tunneling protocol link; and
responsive to determining that the user equipment is stationary;
initiating a non-tunneling link between the user equipment and a stationary packet core of the mobile communication network; and
transmitting second packet data from the user equipment to a second service through the stationary packet core via the non-tunneling link.

13. A computer-readable storage device comprising executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
-
initiating a tunneling protocol link between a mobile user equipment and a mobile management entity of a mobile packet core of a mobile communication network, wherein the mobile management entity assigns a bearer gateway for the mobile user equipment; determining second user equipment is stationary; and responsive to determining that the second user equipment is stationary; initiating a TCP/IP link between the second user equipment and a stationary packet core of the mobile communication network; and transmitting packet data from the second user equipment to a service through the stationary packet core via the TCP/IP link. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
