1. A method comprising:
- receiving at a transceiver data in a third generation partnership project (3GPP) wireless format from at least one user equipment (UE);
routing by an Internet Protocol (IP) gateway the received data in IP formatted packets directly through an Internet interface to bypass a core network; and
tunneling authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) information directly through the Internet interface to the core network.
