Handoff between a wireless SIP network and a cellular communication system is provided. A system is designed to provide nomadic cellular services including voice to a SIP-enabled device.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for supporting a multi-mode portable user terminal (UT) hard handoff procedure for a call from a wireless local area network (WLAN) to a cellular telephone network. The method includes: establishing a link between a UT and a serving WLAN; establishing a call via the established WLAN link; monitoring the WLAN link signal strength; simultaneously monitoring a serving cellular network; initiating a hard handoff to the cellular network, responsive to the monitored WLAN link signal strength falling below a minimum threshold; and, continuing the call via the cellular network. More specifically, the method initiates a call handoff to a Cellular Gateway (CGW) telephone number, responsive to the monitored WLAN link signal strength falling below the minimum threshold. Then, continuing the call via the cellular network includes continuing the call to the first telephone number via the CGW handoff telephone number.
摘要:
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system and method for transmitting messages between a mobile station and a base station in a wireless communication network. In one example, a mobile station is adapted to selectively transmit an origination message in response to receipt of a page message from a base station attempting to initiate a mobile-terminated call. The origination message may initiate a mobile-originated call or session enabling a bi-directional exchange of messages in a single call.
摘要:
A system and a method are provided for supporting a hard handoff procedure for a call from a wireless local area network (WLAN) to a cellular telephone network. The method includes: establishing a link between a user terminal (UT) and a serving WLAN, and a call via the WLAN link; simultaneously monitoring a serving cellular telephone network; forwarding information identifying the UT within the cellular network, to the serving WLAN; in response to losing the link with the serving WLAN, performing a hard handoff to the cellular network; and, continuing the call via the cellular network. Generally, the hard handoff can be performed if the WLAN is able to communicate the UT's identity to the cellular telephone, as the UT's position can be determined by the cellular network. The hard handoff is performed with the UT receiving resource allocations in a common control channel message, such as a Short Message Ser vice (SMS) or paging message.
