Abstract
A system for providing a communication path includes a platform, a paging network, a mobile unit, and a mobile voice communications network. The platform delivers a paging signal comprising call setup information to a page receiver of the mobile unit using the paging network. A transceiver of the mobile unit selects a particular NAM in response to the call setup information and registers with the network using the selected NAM to enable the establishment of a communication path between the platform and the mobile unit.
Claims34
A system for providing a communication path between a platform and a mobile unit, comprising:
- a paging network;
- a mobile voice communications network;
- a platform coupled to the paging network and the mobile voice communications network, the platform comprising a first paging device operable to communicate a paging signal having call setup information using the paging network;
- and
- a mobile unit comprising a second paging device operable to receive the paging signal, the mobile unit further comprising a transceiver coupled to the second paging device and operable to select a particular number assignment module in response to the call setup information, the transceiver further operable to initiate registration with the mobile voice communications network using the selected number assignment module to enable the establishment of a communication path between the platform and the mobile unit.
A method for providing a communication path between a platform and a mobile unit, comprising:
- communicating a paging signal having call setup information to a paging device of a mobile unit using a paging network;
- selecting at the mobile unit a particular number assignment module in response to the call setup information;
- and
- registering a transceiver of the mobile unit with a mobile voice communications network coupled to the platform using the selected number assignment module to enable the establishment of a communication path between the platform and the mobile unit.
A system for delivering a call to a mobile unit, comprising:
- a paging network;
- a mobile voice communications network;
- a platform coupled to the paging network and the mobile voice communications network, the platform comprising a first paging device operable to communicate a paging signal specifying a particular number assignment module to the mobile unit using the paging network and further operable to direct a call to the mobile unit using the mobile voice communications network;
- and
- the mobile unit comprising a second paging device operable to receive the paging signal, the mobile unit further comprising a transceiver coupled to the second paging device and operable to receive the call by registering with the mobile voice communications network using the specified number assignment module.
