Abstract

A security gateway system offloads cellular data from user equipment (“UE”). The system receives a dynamic host configuration protocol (“DHCP”) message from a Wi-Fi access point (“AP”) in communication with the UE. The system converts the DHCP message into an authentication, authorization and accounting (“AAA”) access request and sends the AAA access request to an AAA server. The system receives an AAA access accept from the AAA server and initiates a gateway general packet radio service tunneling protocol tunnel setup with a setup node.
