HYBRID CELLULAR NETWORK SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATIONS METHOD

摘要

In a mobile wireless telecommunications system, a base station subsystem (20) includes at least one base station transceiver (32), which communicates over an air interface with a plurality of mobile stations (22, 24) operating in accordance with a plurality of different protocol standards. The mobile stations include at least one first mobile (22) station operating in accordance with a first protocol standard (IS-95) and at least one second mobile station (24) operating in accordance with a second protocol standard (GSM). The base station subsystem (20) includes a paging/access manager (36), which for each call between the base station subsystem (20) and one of the mobile stations (22, 24) routes the call via a network (26, 28, 30) responsive to the protocol.
