Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to wireless communication technology, and more particularly to wireless communication systems having wireless wide area network (WWAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN) interfaces.
  • WWAN wireless wide area network
  • WLAN wireless local area network
  • FIG. 1 illustrates typical service areas in which mobile terminals such as mobile phones are used.
  • the WWAN service area e.g., GSM, GPRS, CDMA, 3G
  • a WLAN service area as shown in FIG. 1.
  • both the WWAN and WLAN services are available.
  • hotspots which include airports and hotels.
  • hotspots e.g., airports and hotels
  • people normally use mobile terminals for making voice calls and using low-speed data services via the WWAN and for using high-speed data services via the WLAN through an access point (AP).
  • AP access point
  • two mobile terminals in the same hotspot or in different hotspots run by the same service provider are trying to communicate with each other, they still need to use the WWAN service to make voice calls.
  • This is not cost effective even though a low cost alternative communication network, i.e., the WLAN, is available to both parties. Therefore, there is a need to provide a cost effective method and system for seamlessly roaming between a WWAN and a WLAN in areas in which both services are available.
  • 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.
  • VoIP voice over IP
  • a wireless communication system e.g., a mobile terminal, having wireless wide area network (WWAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN) interfaces.
  • the mobile terminal detects presence of a WWAN and a WLAN and establishes a WWAN call between this mobile terminal as a calling mobile terminal and a called mobile terminal via a WWAN. If the WLAN is present, the mobile terminal sends extra information including a handover request together with its network address (e.g., an IP address) to the called mobile terminal, using a short message service (SMS) technique or a watennarking technique, for initiating a WLAN call with the called mobile terminal via a WLAN. If a response received from the called mobile terminal indicates an acceptance of the handover request.
  • SMS short message service
  • the mobile terminal establishes the WLAN call with the called mobile terminal via the WLAN. Thereafter, the mobile terminal releases the WWAN call. However, if, during the WLAN call, the mobile terminal detects that it is moving away from the WLAN, the mobile terminal establishes a new WWAN call with the called mobile terminal via the WWAN.
  • no modifications on the existing network infrastructure are required. Thus, the invention has no impact on current wireless network standards and can be easily deployed in the existing networks.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates typical service areas in which mobile terminals are used
  • FIG. 2 shows a basic architecture of a mobile terminal with dual radio interfaces, according to one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a method for seamlessly roaming between a WWAN and a WLAN, according to one embodiment of the invention

  • the same reference numerals indicate similar or corresponding features or functions.
  • FIG. 2 shows a basic architecture of a mobile tenninal 10 with dual radio interfaces - WWAN and WLAN interfaces - for use in the invention.
  • a user agent which is responsible for profile management, service mediation, etc., will first make a WWAN call. After the call is set up, the user agent will determine which radio interface to use based on the user profile and the available radio interfaces. The user profile contains information about the radio interface preferences, handover permission during an active connection, etc. For example, if the user prefers a connection via the WLAN interface, the user agent will, after setting up the WWAN call, try to connect both parties via a WLAN. After the WLAN call (e.g., a voice or video call) is successfully set up, the WWAN call will be released without the user's direct involvement.
  • the WLAN call e.g., a voice or video call
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a method 20 for seamlessly roaming between a WWAN and a WLAN, according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the user agent of this party's mobile terminal When a party enters into a hotspot, the user agent of this party's mobile terminal will detect the types of wireless services available. When the party tries to make a call, the user agent of this calling party's mobile terminal will make a call via a WWAN in a conventional way, using the MSISDN (Mobile Station International ISDN Number) of a called mobile terminal (steps S22 and S26). After the WWAN call is properly set up, the user agent of the calling mobile terminal will decide which radio interface to use based on the user profile of the calling party.

  • the user agent will send extra information including a handover request together with information about the IP address, user profile, etc. of the calling mobile terminal to the called mobile terminal for handing over the call to the WLAN (step S32).
  • the extra information is transferred using the short message service (SMS) or the watermarking technology.
  • SMS short message service
  • the watermarking technology allows the extra information to be hidden within the voice, as will be described later.
  • the user agent of the called mobile terminal Upon receiving the handover request, the user agent of the called mobile terminal will decide whether to accept the request, based on its own user profile and the available radio interface of the called mobile terminal. If the called mobile terminal agrees to hand over the call to the WLAN, its user agent will send similar extra information including a handover accept response together with information about the IP address, user profile, etc. of the called mobile terminal to the calling mobile terminal, using the SMS or the watermarking technology (step S36). The calling mobile terminal will then initiate a call (e.g., a voice or video call) via a WLAN, using the received IP address of the called mobile terminal (steps S42 and S46). When the WLAN call has been successfully set up, the WWAN call will be released by both parties (steps S52 and S56). After the WLAN call is completed, it will also be released by both parties (steps S62 and S66).
  • a call e.g., a voice or video call
  • one of the parties may leave a WLAN service area.
  • the user agent of this party's mobile terminal will recognize a change in the radio signals. If the calling party is leaving the area, the user agent of the calling mobile terminal will try to initiate a new WWAN call to the called mobile terminal. On the other hand, if the called party is leaving the area, the user agent of the called mobile terminal will send a handover request via the WLAN to the calling mobile terminal to initiate a new WWAN call. This new WWAN call will be automatically accepted by the called mobile terminal. After the new WWAN call is successfully set up, the WLAN call will be immediately released by both parties.
  • the called mobile terminal may also initiate the new WWAN call to the calling mobile terminal when the called party is leaving the area.
  • the handovers from a WWAN to a WLAN and vice versa are transparent to both users, so that the call between them is not affected.
  • the parties may communicate with each other via the Internet connecting two WLANs, within each of which one party is present.
  • the extra information i.e., the handover request, IP address, user profile, etc.
  • the voice in one channel e.g., the voice channel between two mobile terminals.
  • Such exchanges will not affect the normal voice conversation, since during a typical telephone conversation, 50% of the time is used for listening and 10% of the time is used for pausing between words and sentences. Therefore, there are sufficient resources for exchanging the extra information, without requiring modifications to the existing network infrastructure.
  • the extra information may be added by the user agent in a mobile terminal as either analog signals or digital signals.
