Abstract
A WTRU may comprise a transmitter configured to transmit at least one registration message, to a cellular network using IP, which indicates support for VoIP via a WLAN. The transmitter may be configured to transmit an indication of supported messaging or other capabilities of the WTRU. The WTRU may comprise a receiver configured to receive a data message via the WLAN in accordance with the capabilities of the WTRU. The data message may be received via the cellular network, having originated from another WTRU. The WTRU may also comprise a display configured to display the received data message.
Claims20
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit at least one registration message to a cellular network using Internet Protocol (IP), wherein the at least one registration message indicates support for Voice over IP (VoIP) via a wireless local area network (WLAN);
- the transmitter configured to transmit an indication of supported capabilities of the WTRU, wherein the supported capabilities include messaging capabilities;
- a receiver configured to receive a data message via the WLAN in accordance with the messaging capabilities of the WTRU, wherein the data message is received via the cellular network, having originated from another WTRU;
- and
- a display configured to display the data message.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit at least one registration message to a cellular network using Internet Protocol (IP), wherein the at least one registration message indicates support for Voice over IP (VoIP) via a wireless local area network (WLAN);
- the transmitter configured to transmit an indication of supported capabilities of the WTRU, wherein the supported capabilities include messaging capabilities;
- the transmitter configured to transmit a data message to the WLAN, the data message formatted in accordance with the messaging capabilities of the WTRU, wherein the data message is sent via the cellular network to another WTRU;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive an acknowledgement report of the transmitted data message.
A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- transmitting at least one registration message to a cellular network using Internet Protocol (IP), wherein the at least one registration message indicates support for Voice over IP (VoIP) via a wireless local area network (WLAN);
- transmitting an indication of supported capabilities of the WTRU, wherein the supported capabilities include messaging capabilities;
- receiving a first data message via the WLAN in accordance with the messaging capabilities of the WTRU, wherein the data message is received via the cellular network having originated from another WTRU;
- transmitting a second data message to the another WTRU over the WLAN, wherein the second data message is in accordance with messaging capabilities of the another WTRU;
- and
- displaying the first data message and the second data message.
