Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for integrating multiple access technologies in a radio-based network. In one embodiment, first data is received from a first wireless device connected to a radio-based network via a first access technology. Second data is received from a second wireless device connected to the radio-based network via a second access technology. The first access technology and the second access technology use a different physical layer and a different media access control layer but use a network layer that is in common. The first data and the second data are processed at the network layer in the radio-based network using a common processing element.
