System and method to enable unlicensed mobile access across terminals

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for establishing a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) call through an Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) Network by enabling Voice over IP (VoIP) access into a GSM network from various IP-enabled mobile device terminals and a mechanism to authenticate and use such terminals without any change to the UMA or GSM network.

主权项

1. A mobile device terminal comprising:
a microprocessor circuit; a memory in data communication with the microprocessor circuit; a docking interface in electronic communication with the microprocessor circuit and that is adapted to communicate with a mobile device and receive a secure protocol information and identification number from the mobile device, wherein the secure protocol information and identification information is stored in the memory and wherein the secure protocol information includes authentication information, subscription information and network state information; a first communication port adapted to be connected to a first communication medium, wherein the communication medium is connected to a plain old telephone system (POTS); a second communication port adapted to be connected to a second communication medium, wherein the second communication medium is connected to an internet connection device; and wherein the mobile device terminal emulates the mobile device functionality by using the stored secure protocol information and identification number to send and receive GSM communication via the second communication port.
