Methods and Apparatuses for Integration Of Broadcast Transmission With Access Infrastructure Of A Public Network For Mobile Communications

摘要

A telecommunications network for mobile users includes a user subsystem and a transport subsystem connected to an access subsystem. The access subsystem provides a user access communications interface and a transport access communications interface for exchange of information among the subsystems. The access subsystem is identified with a coverage area of the cellular telecommunication network. The access subsystem is associated with interconnection means in order to receive second information signals broadcast from one or more geostationary satellites and send them via the telecommunications network for mobile users to users located within the coverage area of the mobile telecommunications network.
