Abstract
Abstract Method and apparatus for delivery of UMTS services to a dual mode mobile station through a WLAN when the mobile station is operating within a WLAN environment. UMTS services are transmitted to a WLAN through a UMTS repeater tuned to receive services addressed to registered IDs and transmit these services to that (those) WLAN(s) having mobile stations registered with the UMTS. The WLAN format converter converts the UMTS format into a WLAN message format and communicates the message to the registered users.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A method employed by a wireless local area network (WLAN) for communicating messages from a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) to a mobile station (UE) operating within said WLAN, comprising: said WLAN, responsive to registration of the UE: a) registering UMTS identification of the UE with the UMTS for UMTS service watch; b) receiving a UMTS service message intended for the UE directly from the UMTS over a radio channel between the UMTS and the WLAN; and c) converting the UMTS service message in an UMTS message format into a WLAN message format for transmission to the UE.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
98 words
A method employed by a wireless local area network (WLAN) for communicating messages from a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) to a mobile station (UE) operating within said WLAN, comprising: said WLAN, responsive to registration of the UE: a) registering UMTS identification of the UE with the UMTS for UMTS service watch; b) receiving a UMTS service message intended for the UE directly from the UMTS over a radio channel between the UMTS and the WLAN; and c) converting the UMTS service message in an UMTS message format into a WLAN message format for transmission to the UE.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the UMTS service message received at step (b) includes: receiving one of a paging message, short message service (SMS) and multimedia message service (MMS).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein step (c), further comprises: transferring the reformatted message to a given access point for transmission to the UE.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
100 words
A wireless local area network (WLAN) for communicating message services to a mobile station (UE) operating in the wireless local area network (WLAN) from a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), said WLAN comprising: an inter-working controller responsive to the UE for registering UMTS identification of the UE with the UMTS for UMTS service watch; a receiver for directly receiving a UMTS service message intended for the UE from said UMTS over a radio channel between the UMTS and the WLAN; and a format converter for converting the UMTS service message in an UMTS message format into an WLAN message format.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
100 words
A wireless local area network (WLAN) for communicating message services to a mobile station (UE) operating in the wireless local area network (WLAN) from a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), said WLAN comprising: an inter-working controller responsive to the UE for registering UMTS identification of the UE with the UMTS for UMTS service watch; a receiver for directly receiving a UMTS service message intended for the UE from said UMTS over a radio channel between the UMTS and the WLAN; and a format converter for converting the UMTS service message in an UMTS message format into an WLAN message format.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said WLAN further comprises: a transmitter for conveying the converted message to an access point (AP) associated with the WLAN.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said AP includes: a second transmitter to send the converted message service to said UE.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said inter-working controller directly conveys the UMTS identification to a UMTS repeater for registering the UE with a UMTS.
