摘要

A wireless communication server device (50) facilitates overlay network communications in an underlay network environment. A database portion (52) is configured to store information regarding overlay network devices within the underlay network environment. An overlay device management portion (54) is configured to communicate with overlay devices and to provide operation information to the overlay devices. An underlay network communication portion (56) is configured to communicate with at least one underlay network device at least to facilitate communications between a mobile station (44) and a selected overlay device (36). ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
