SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DUAL-MODE HANDOFF

摘要

Exemplary embodiments include methods and systems for a deterministic facilitating for a dual-mode handoff between a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN). The hand-off method may include associating identification information with a mobile user device and locating the mobile user device within a local area network based at least in part on the identification information associated with the mobile user device. The hand-off method may also include moving the mobile user device outside a coverage area of the local area network, associating the mobile user device with a wide area network based at least in part on the identification information associated with the mobile user device, and updating a wide area network server of a location associated with the mobile user device.
