INTEGRATION OF VOICE AND DATA SERVICES PROVIDED TO A MOBILE WIRELESS DEVICE

摘要

A telecommunication network node which integrates the voice and data service s provided to a wireless mobile unit. The network node receives a request for information along with a voice network identification of the mobile unit via the signaling portion of the voice network. The network node performs a database lookup to determine a data network address of the mobile unit. This data network address may be a permanent data network address or a temporary data network address. The network node sends the information request to a da ta network service provider, whereby the request may be enhanced with informati on added by the network node. Upon receipt of the requested information from th e data network service provider, the network node forwards the information to the mobile unit via the data network using the data network address.
