A method for communicating between a cellular system and a mobile terminal by way of a standard wireless LAN and the Internet allows data communications to traverse the core of the cellular network, thereby allowing monitoring of the time and volume usage by the subscriber for billing purposes. The user terminal has a communication protocol for communicating with the wireless LAN, over which is a EAP/EAPOL protocol. A Radio Adaptation Layer (RAL) protocol overlies the EAP/EAPOL protocol. At the cellular system, a Serving GPRS Support Node has a RAL/EAP/TCP-IP protocol for providing communications between the wireless LAN and the cellular system by way of the Internet.
