Abstract
A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), method and system for efficiently handling various types of wireless services across multiple wireless access technologies for WTRUs that may operate in multiple types of networks is disclosed.
Claims14
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a request for service capabilities from a service center via a wireless local area network (WLAN) access gateway;
- an application module having at least one WLAN application capable to interact with a cellular network;
- a registration message generator configured to query an operating system of the WTRU or the application module of the WTRU for information to generate a list of applications or services supported by the WTRU, and configured to generate a registration message including a wireless local area network (WLAN) capability report based on information obtained in response to the query;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the registration message to the WLAN access gateway;
- and
- the receiver configured to a receive a service from the service center via the WLAN in response to the registration message.
