Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to smart processing of wireless wide area network (WWAN) packets transmitted over wireless local area network (WLAN). According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) capable of communicating via at least first and second radio access technologies (RATs) is provided. The method generally includes dynamically switching to a location, within the UE, as an anchor point for processing packets based, at least in part, on operating states of the first and second RATs and routing packets received via at least one of the first and second RATs to the dynamically switched location of the anchor point.
