Abstract
A method in a network node (115) comprises establishing (1604) a first bearer (1310, 1520) between a local breakout function gateway (1220), the local breakout function gateway collocated at the network node, and an application client (1210, 1405, 1505) of a wireless device (110). The method comprises transmitting (1608) network assistance information to the wireless device over the first bearer via application-layer signaling in the user plane, the network assistance information comprising information related to optimizing transmission of user data over a second bearer (1305, 1515) established between the wireless device and a core network node (130).
