MOBILE GATEWAY FOR FIXED MOBILE CONVERGENCE OF DATA SERVICE OVER AN ENTERPRISE WLAN

摘要

A system and a method for providing a mobile data service to a mobile device over a fixed wireless data network wherein the system comprises an enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway coupled to a Public Land Mobile Network, an enterprise Mobile Access Controller resident within the fixed wireless data network. The system further comprises an enterprise Mobile User-plane Aggregator coupled to 1) the Public Land Mobile Network, 2) the fixed wireless data network and the enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway. The enterprise Mobile Signaling Gateway at least establishes an IP tunnel to the enterprise Mobile Access Controller, determines whether a mobile device coupled to the Public Land Mobile Network is registered, directs the establishment of multiple IP tunnels between the mobile device and the network elements of the system, and directs pathways for communicating user-plane and control-plane data between trusted or untrusted transport networks.

1. A method for providing a mobile data service to a mobile device over a Fixed Wireless Data Network (FWDN), the method comprising:
coupling a Mobile Wireless Data Network (MWDN) with the FWDN via a first, a second and a third IP Transport Network (IPTN); receiving a mobile data service request from a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), wherein the PLMN is coupled to the MWDN via a fourth IPTN; confirming that the mobile device associated with the mobile data service request is communicatively coupled to and located with the FWDN by intercepting registration and location information transmitted from the mobile device; verifying authenticity of the mobile data service request, wherein the mobile data service request is at least authenticated by the MWDN; delivering mobile data service to the mobile device; and wherein the mobile device transparently communicates with the PLMN.
