Abstract

A service apparatus for a public and private mobile communication network in a mobile communication service system including a public mobile communication network and a private mobile communication network. The service apparatus includes a device for connecting a public mobile communication service system to a private mobile communication service system, and providing a mobile station in a predetermined service area with both a public mobile communication service and a private mobile communication service. The device includes a base station transceiver subsystem (BTS) located in the predetermined service area, for forming a radio channel to the mobile station in the service area; a communication path provider connected to the BTS, a base station controller (BSC) in the public mobile communication service system and a mobile switching center (MSC) of the private mobile communication service system, said communication path provider providing a communication path for transmitting data of the service system and data of the BTS; and a call manager for distinguishing the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service by analyzing data received through the communication path, and performing call management for the corresponding service.

Claims

1. A service apparatus for a public and private mobile communication network in a mobile communication service system including a public mobile communication network and a private mobile communication network, the service apparatus comprising:

a device for connecting a public mobile communication service system to a private mobile communication service system, and providing a mobile station in a predetermined service area with both a public mobile communication service and a private mobile communication service, said device including;

a base station transceiver subsystem located in the predetermined service area, for forming a radio channel to the mobile station in the service area;

a communication path provider connected to the base station transceiver subsystem, a base station controller in the public mobile communication service system and a mobile switching center of the private mobile communication service system, said communication path provider providing a communication path for transmitting data of the service system and data of the base station transceiver subsystem; and

a call manager for distinguishing the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service by analyzing data received through the communication path, and performing call management for the corresponding service.

2. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the call manager distinguishes the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service by determining whether a specific identification code is added to a telephone number of the mobile station.

3. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the call manager distinguishes the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service based on information previously set by time slot.

4. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the call manager distinguishes the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service based on registration information of a mobile subscriber requiring the private mobile communication service.

5. An apparatus for connecting a public mobile communication service system to a private mobile communication service system, and providing a mobile station in a predetermined service area with both a public mobile communication service and a private mobile communication service, said apparatus comprising:

a base station transceiver subsystem located in the predetermined service area, for forming a radio channel to the mobile station in the predetermined service area;

a communication path provider connected to a base station transceiver subsystem, a base station controller in the public mobile communication service system and a mobile switching center of the private mobile communication service system, said communication path provider providing a communication path for transmitting data of the public mobile communication service system, data of the private mobile communication service system and data of the base station transceiver subsystem; and

a call manager for distinguishing the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service by analyzing data received through the communication path, and performing call management for the corresponding service.

6. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the call manager distinguishes the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service by determining whether a specific identification code is added to a telephone number of the mobile station.

7. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the call manager distinguishes the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service based on information previously set by time slot.

8. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the call manager distinguishes the public mobile communication service from the private mobile communication service based on registration information of a mobile subscriber requiring the private mobile communication service.

9. The service apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the communication path provider comprises a high capacity inter-processor communication node board assembly.
