Abstract
A request is originated by a mobile station, wherein the request contains information relating to both packet-switched communication and circuit-switched communication of data in a session. The request is originated by the mobile station in response to detecting that a transfer is to be performed from a source packet-switched access network to a target network in which different parts of the session is to be communicated in the packet-switched domain and circuit-switched domain. The transfer is completed using the information in the first request.
Claims16
A method performed by a processor, comprising:
- receiving a first request originated by a mobile station, wherein the first request contains information relating to both packet-switched communication and circuit-switched communication of data in a session, wherein the first request is originated by the mobile station in response to detecting that a transfer is to be performed from a source packet-switched access network to a target network in which different parts of the session is to be communicated in the packet-switched domain and circuit-switched domain;
- and
- completing the transfer using the information in the first request.
A mobile station comprising:
- an air interface to communicate wirelessly with a source packet-switched access network during a session;
- and
- a processor to:
- detect that an access transfer is to be performed to a target network in which different parts of the session are to be communicated in the packet-switched domain and the circuit-switched domain;
- send a request containing information pertaining to both packet-switched and circuit-switched communications.
A node comprising:
- a network interface;
- and
- a processor to:
- receive a first request originated by a mobile station, wherein the first request contains information relating to both packet-switched communication and circuit-switched communication of data in a session, wherein the first request is originated by the mobile station in response to detecting that a transfer is to be performed from a source packet-switched access network to a target network in which different parts of the session is to be communicated in the packet-switched domain and circuit-switched domain;
- and
- complete the transfer using the information in the first request.
