    摘要: The present invention takes the advantage of the WLAN resources in hotspots for voice and data connections and enables seamless handover between WWAN and WLAN and vice versa. This allows two users in the hotspots to communicate with each other by making a voice over IP (VoIP) or video call, thus achieving cost savings for the end users and WWAN resources savings for the wireless operators. According to one embodiment of the invention, a mobile terminal has wireless wide area network (WWAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN) interfaces. The mobile terminal via a WWAN. If a WLAN is present, the mobile terminal sends a handover request together with its network address to the called mobile terminal, using a short message service (SMS) technique or a watermarking technique, for initiating a WLAN call with the called mobile terminal via a WLAN. After the WLAN call is established with the called mobile terminal, the mobile terminal releases the WWAN call.

    摘要: A method is proposed for a mobile terminal in mobile communication systems to transfer non-speech data in voice channel, comprising steps of: encapsulating the non-speech data to be sent to another mobile terminal into IBD frames; storing said IBD frames in a buffer; detecting whether a speech burst sent to said another mobile terminal is over; checking whether there is non-speech data to be sent to said another mobile terminal if detecting that said speech burst is over; sending at least one non-speech data to said another mobile terminal via voice channel if there is non-speech data to be sent. By modifying the SID frame and silence speech frame, this method realizes transmission of non-speech via voice channel rather than via dedicated data channel, so as to save radio resources of the system.

    摘要: A method for addressing and locating WLAN communication node is disclosed in the present invention. The GSM or CDMA, which is characterized in broad coverage, the steadiest performance, and the most mature technology, is employed to confirm the subscribers' IP address. One of the communication parties sends data call to another party through GSM or CDMA and transmits the preset information package including the IP address of the calling party, which is processed by the system, to the other party. Then both parties can accomplish the WLAN interconnection based upon the known IP address in the WLAN. The method can also be applied to all the end-to-end communication system for addressing. The present invention relates to the mobile terminal adopting said method. The method can confirm the address information of the WLAN communication node conveniently, and rapidly, thereby decreasing the cost of communication, eliminating or lowering the dependence on the server of Internet so as to make the subscribers communicate more flexibly and conveniently.
