In one implementation, the method comprises, in response to obtaining a request to associate an electronic device with the one or more WLAN termination nodes: generating, between a base station and a networking device, a control link based on a first identifier associated with the base station; generating, between the networking device and a first WLAN termination node, a control link based on a second identifier that corresponds to a pseudonym for the base station; and associating the first and second identifiers in a control table. The method further comprises: instantiating, between the base station and the networking device, a first data tunnel associated with a first tunneling protocol; instantiating, between the networking device and the first WLAN termination node, a second data tunnel associated with a second tunneling protocol; and associating the first and second data tunnels.
