Abstract
A system for data communications comprising a handset having a processor, a wireless communications device, a speaker and a microphone and one or more software applications operating on the processor that are configured to interface with a voice over long-term evolution (VoLTE) service. A wireless access point coupled to the handset through a local wireless communications media and the wireless communications device, the wireless access point further coupled to a long range wireless communications media and configured to interface with a server that provides VoLTE calling functionality.
Claims20
A system for data communications comprising:
- a wireless access point coupled to a handset through a local wireless communications media, the wireless access point further coupled to a long range wireless communications media, the wireless access point having a processor and one or more software applications operating on the processor and configured to:
- receive a call initiation from the handset at the wireless access point using a network registered sender port and a listener port of the handset and a corresponding network registered listener port and sender port, respectively, of the wireless access point;
- initialize a voice over long-term evolution (VoLTE) proxy;
- and
- utilize a long range wireless communications media from the wireless access point to initiate an interface with a server that provides VoLTE calling functionality using the VoLTE proxy.
A method for data communications comprising:
- registering a listener port and a sender port on a network at each of a plurality of handsets and a corresponding sender port and listener port, respectively at a wireless access point for each of the plurality of handsets;
- utilizing a long range wireless communications media from the wireless access point to initiate an interface with a server that provides a voice over long-term evolution (VoLTE) calling functionality;
- receiving a call at a VoLTE proxy of a wireless access point;
- and
- generating a ring signal at each of the plurality of handsets using the listener of each handset using the VoLTE proxy of the wireless access point.
A system for data communications comprising:
- a wireless access point having a voice over long-term evolution (VoLTE) proxy and a plurality of sender ports and listener ports;
- a plurality of programmable handsets, each having a sender port and a listener port registered on a network, where a corresponding one of the listener ports and sender ports, respectively, at the wireless access point are associated with one of the sender ports and the listener ports of one of the programmable handsets;
- and
- the wireless access point is configured to initiate an interface using the VoLTE proxy with a server that provides VoLTE calling functionality over a long range wireless communications media.
