    Abstract: A method and system for using low earth orbit satellites to overcome latency is presented. In one embodiment, the method may include establishing a data session using a first channel having a first characteristic different than a second characteristic of a second channel, wherein the first channel is a Low Earth Orit (LEO) channel and wherein the second channel is a Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) channel; determining a type of traffic involved in the data session; determining whether the second channel should be used for the data session; when the second channel should be used for the data session, then switching the data session from the first channel to the second channel; and periodically monitoring the data session to determine whether the second channel should continue to be used for the data session.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are presented for retrieving security keys in gateways. In one example embodiment, a method is presented. The method of retrieving security keys from a User Equipment (UE) in gateways includes retrieving, by a HetNet Gateway (HNG) as the HNG virtualizes an eNodeB towards n Mobility Management Entity (MME) through a first message and a second message exchange, a fresh Next Hop, Next Hop Chaining Count {NH, NCC} pair from the MME; and mocking, by the HNG, an X2 handover towards the MME by sending a third message with required Information Elements filled when a fourth message from the eNodeB reaches the HNG.
