- IP telephony voice, video and/or data.
- the IP telephony gateway provides the appropriate translation between transmission formats (for example, H.225.0 of an H.323 endpoint to/from H.221 of an H.320 endpoint) and between communication procedures (for example, H.245 of an H.323 endpoint to/from H.242 of an H.320 endpoint).
- the IP telephony gateway also performs call setup and clearing on both the network side and the switch circuit network side.
- IP-telephony gateway In general, the purpose of the IP-telephony gateway is to complete the call in both directions between the packet switch network endpoint and the circuit switch network endpoint in a transparent fashion.
- IP telephony gateway An example of an IP telephony gateway is the H.323 gateway (implementing

- the gateway contacts the gatekeeper it is registered with asking to set up a call towards the dialed number received from the incoming call set up request (Access Request, ARQ, 2).
- the gatekeeper translates the dialed number (or directory number) into the IP address of the destination IP-telephony gateway, (i.e.
- the gateway that has to be reached in order to reach the final destination of the call) and provides this IP address to the originating IP telephony gateway (Access Confirmation, ACF, 3).
- the originating IP-telephony gateway sets up an IP-telephony call over the packet switch network or IP network towards the destination IP-telephony gateway providing its IP address and the dialed number (Call setup, 3).

If the gatekeeper grants the incoming call to the destination IP-telephony gateway (ACF, 5), the destination IP-telephony gateway establishes the PSTN call (call, 7), and then the call is established between the two IP-telephony gateways over the IP network (call establishment, 6). The destination IP-telephony gateway translates the IP packets into the appropriate format for transmission over the PSTN.

- the establishment of radio connection involves the source
- the radio resources are allocated and the source BSC/RNC commands the mobile communication device to
- the second step is triggered after the first step by the source BSC/RNC

- IP based networks should be capable of supporting call (or session) handovers from circuit switch networks or to circuit switch networks. This may provide a quality service with wide network coverage and service continuity to their subscribers.
- Embodiments of the present invention may be accomplished by an entity called a handover gateway such as the handover gateway 300 shown in Figure 2.
- the handover gateway 300 provides a functionality between a packet switch network 100 and a circuit switch network 200 for the call (real time and non-real time) handover purposes.
- the handover gateway 300 is a gateway for the conversion from packet data to the circuit connection and vice versa introduced for handover purposes. That is, the handover gateway 300 converts packet data units from the packet switch network to packet data units compatible with the circuit switch network 200 and vice versa.

- the transmission path 55 may include a wireless transmission path.
- the mobile communication device 50 may physically move outside of the area serviced by the packet switch network 100.
- Figure 3 shows that the
- Embodiments of the present invention allow movement of the mobile communication device 50 during an active session(s) between the mobile communication device 50 and the terminal 110 without disconnection of the session(s).
- the handover gateway 300 supports the handover.

- the mobile communication device 50 may subsequently move from the circuit switch network 200 back to the packet switch network 100 by utilizing the handover gateway 300 or another similar handover gateway 300.
- the mobile communication device 50 may also physically move from the circuit switch network 200 to a different circuit switch network (not shown) using well known techniques such as that described above.
- the present application is also applicable to the active session(s) being initiated while the mobile communication device 50 is within the circuit switch network 200.
- the present invention allows the mobile communication device 50 to move from the circuit switch network 200 to the packet switch network 100 without disconnection of the active session(s). This is likewise accomplished through the use of the handover gateway 300.
- Fig. 3 would show the mobile communication device 50 initially in the circuit switch network 200 and Fig. 2 would show the mobile communication device in the packet switch network 100 after handover.
- the mobile communication device 50 may also physically move from the packet switch network 100 to a different packet switch network (not shown) using techniques such as that described above.
- FIG. 4 shows an example architecture of the handover gateway 300. The below described
- the handover gateway 300 may be coupled to a router or other entity within one of the networks or the handover gateway may be its own entity.
- the handover gateway 300 may also function as an entity on both the packet switch side and the circuit switch side.
- the handover gateway 300 may also be two or more separate network entities such as a generic router and a controlling handover control entity.

- PS packet switched
- the handover gateway 300 may perform appropriate conversions 330 or mapping between packet switch and circuit switch handover signaling 334.
- the handover gateway 300 may also exchange circuit switch related handover signaling with the circuit switch side of the network elements (MSC).
- MSC network elements
- a mapping may be established between the media ports and circuit connections by providing the information to a gateway control unit 320 as shown in Figure 4.
- the gateway control unit 320 may act as an admission control function to control the media conversions between circuit switch and packet switch data.
- Internal control interfaces 322 and 324 may be used for communication within the handover gateway 300 and may be standardized interfaces like MGCP, Megaco etc. or vendor specific interfaces.
- the handover gateway 300 may perform media conversion 310 between packet data 312 and the circuit (PCM) data formats 314 including transcoding and echo-cancellation. Specifically, the handover gateway 300 may provide IP transport addresses for media reception and transmission on the packet switch side of the handover gateway 300. Interfacing with the circuit switch network 200, the handover gateway 300 may have circuit connections or links to one or more MSCs. Before allowing a successful handover, the handover gateway 300 may ensure the identity of the subscriber terminal device and/or network entity is authenticated. In some cases, the handover gateway 300 may check with the service level agreements (SLA) to allow or disallow a certain handover request. The authentication function may be performed as part of the admission control function in the gateway control unit 320.
- SLA service level agreements
- the handover gateway 300 may also provide transmission and load information to the network management system for administrative purposes. User data may be collected for recording and charging purposes. This information may be reported to the charging/billing network entities. Privacy and security of both signaling and media may be provided according to the adopted standards in the handover gateway 300.
- the handover gateway 300 may report to other network entities in case of certain signaling or media needs to be interceptible to meet restrictions enforced by the federal/legal laws.
- the present invention provides a way for carriers to deploy IP based mobile networks incrementally while allowing users to have full mobility even during connections. It further allows a separate control plane from the user plane thus satisfying the requirements for IP based cellular networks.
- the handover gateway may be implemented as a separate network element or integrated with existing network elements.
- the user plane part of the handover gateway may be implemented together with a roaming signaling gateway (R-SGW). If the handover gateway is used to support handoff to ANSI-41 networks, then the user plane part of the handover gateway may have trunk connections with the target ANSI-41 mobile switching centers.
