Abstract
A mobility management node, in a first wireless carrier network, receives a connection request that includes a first Access Point Name (APN) that is invalid in the first wireless carrier network, wherein the connection request originated from a wireless device. The mobility management node obtains a set of first APNs that map the first APN, and other APNs, that are invalid in the first wireless carrier network, and translates the first APN to a second APN corresponding to the first wireless carrier network using the set of first APNs. The mobility management node uses the second APN in signaling associated with a connection, between the wireless device and the first wireless carrier network.
