GATEWAY, MASTER ACCESS NODE AND METHODS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A gateway for a communication system, the gateway comprisinga transceiver configured toreceive a sequence of data packets on a Radio Access Bearer, RAB, from a core network, anda processor configured tosplit a first distribution of the received sequence of data packets into a first sub-sequence of data packets and at least a second sub-sequence of data packets,wherein the transceiver is configured toforward the first sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to a master access node, andforward the second sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to a secondary access node.

Abstract
A gateway comprises a transceiver configured to receive a sequence of data packets on a Radio Access Bearer, RAB, from a core network, a processor configured to obtain a first distribution of the received sequence of data packets into a first sub-sequence of data packets and at least a second sub-sequence of data packets, wherein the transceiver is configured to forward the first sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to a master access node, forward the second sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to a secondary access node. The master access node comprises a processor, a transceiver configured to receive a first sub-sequence of data packets of a sequence of data packets carried by a RAB from a gateway, wherein the RAB is associated with a user device, and to forward at least one part of the first sub-sequence of data packets on the RAB to the user device.
