THIRD-GENERATION MOBILE COMMUNICATION/RADIO LAN INTEGRATION SYSTEM, AND THIRD-GENERATION MOBILE COMMUNICATION/RADIO LAN INTEGRATION METHOD

摘要

In a third-generation mobile-communication/wireless-LAN integration system in which a third-generation mobile communication system is integrated with a wireless LAN system, wherein an access network unit of the third-generation mobile communication system performs control, assuming that the wireless LAN system is a packet communication channel. Therefore, integration of the third-generation mobile communication system with the wireless LAN system can be achieved. Furthermore, the access network unit has a radio network controller (8) connected to a base transceiver station (9) capable of performing wireless communication with a mobile terminal (1) in the wireless LAN system, and electrically connected to access point stations (10, 11) of the wireless LAN system. Therefore, setup and control of a wireless LAN channel lead by the third-generation mobile communication system can be performed between both systems.
