Abstract

In a radio system having at least one base station that is part of a public mobile network, at least one mobile terminal communicates with the at least one base station, a local breakout service network provides Internet protocol gateway services. A serving base station of a mobile terminal is configured to provide the local breakout service to the Internet protocol gateway while retaining user access control and a remote Internet protocol gateway of a packet core network of the public mobile network for the mobile terminal; to provide information on neighboring cells in which the local breakout service can continue; to make a handover decision based on measurement reports received from the mobile terminal; and to transfer user context data including local breakout service related information to a target base station during handover for providing mobility within the local breakout service area for the mobile terminal.
