Abstract
The invention concerns a radio communication device (700) comprising: for circuit-switched services, first access means, enabling access to a mobile network via a first access network included in a wireless local area network, for packet-switched services, second access means (70), enabling access to the mobile network via the first access network. According to the invention, the first access means conform to the “GAN” technology and the second access means conform to the “3GPP-WLAN Interworking” technology. The technologies are defined in the 3GPP standards.
Claims7
Radio communication device (700) comprising:
- for circuit-switched services, first access means, enabling access to a mobile network via a first access network included in a wireless local area network, for packet-switched services, second access means (70), enabling access to said mobile network via said first access network, characterized in that said first access means conform to the “GAN” technology and said second access means conform to the “3GPP-WLAN Interworking” technology, said technologies being defined in the 3GPP standards.
Access network controller (900), enabling a radio communication device (700):
- for circuit-switched services, to access a mobile network via a first access network included in a wireless local area network,
- for packet-switched services, to access said mobile network via said first access network,
- characterized in that said access network controller (900) comprises:
- a unit GANC-CS (910) that corresponds to the part relating to the circuit-switched services of a controller GANC conforming to the “GAN” technology, for managing the streams for the circuit-switched services;
- a gateway TTG (920) conforming to the “3GPP-WLAN Interworking” technology, for managing streams for the packet-switched services, said technologies being defined in the 3GPP standards;
- and
- distribution means (940) for assigning each stream to said unit GANC-CS or said gateway TTG.
