1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a system comprising a processor, aggregated call data based on combining first call data with second call data, wherein the first call data is determined to have been received from a first picocell device of a wireless picocell extension network via an Internet protocol security tunnel associated with a mobile access protocol that allows a user equipment, coupled to the first picocell device, to transition a communication session between a wireless wide area network device and a wireless local area network device, and wherein the second call data is determined to have been received from a second picocell device of the wireless picocell extension network; and
directing, by the system, the aggregated call data to a network device of a cellular network.

Abstract
A pico-cell is located within a facility. The pico-cell has a wireless protocol for carrying calls placed to and from mobile devices in the facility. A call distributor is in communication with the pico-cell and handles calls carried by the pico-cell. The call distributor includes an embedded wireless switch for routing calls to and from mobile devices in the facility using the wireless protocol.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; determining combined data based on combining first call data with second call data, wherein the first call data has been received from a first picocell device of a wireless picocell extension network by employing an internet protocol security tunnel associated with a mobile access protocol that allows a communication device, coupled to the first picocell device, to transition communication session between a first network device of a wireless wide area network and a second network device of a wireless local area network, and wherein the second call data has been received from a second picocell device of the wireless picocell extension network; and facilitating a transfer of the combined data to a switch device of a cellular network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
aggregating first call data with second call data to generate aggregated call data, wherein the first call data has been received from a first picocell device of a wireless picocell extension network by employing an internet protocol security tunnel associated with a mobile access protocol that allows a communication device, coupled to the first picocell device, to transfer communication session via a first network device of a wireless wide area network and a second network device of a wireless local area network, and wherein the second call data has been received from a second picocell device of the wireless picocell extension network; and directing the aggregated call data to a switch device of a cellular network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
