Method of providing packet voice call service in wireless communication network and network architecture therefor
First Claim
1. A network architecture for providing a packet voice call over a packet-based network to a circuit network terminal supporting wireless communication over a circuit-based network, comprising:
- a radio access network (RAN) for providing a call service to the circuit network terminal;
a mediation gateway connected to the RAN via a predetermined signaling interface of the circuit-based network, for performing location registration, authorization, and mobility management to provide a packet voice call service to the circuit network terminal and making the circuit network terminal recognized as a packet network terminal in the packet-based network by performing IP registration for the circuit network terminal; and
an access gateway connected to the mediation gateway via a predetermined signaling interface, for providing predetermined traffic interfacing upon request from the mediation gateway, and connected to the RAN, for transmitting voice traffic from the circuit network terminal to a terminal of a called party via the packet-based network.

Abstract
There is provided a method of providing a voice call service and an additional service to a circuit network terminal via a packet-based network, and a network architecture therefor. In the network architecture, a RAN provides a call service to the circuit network terminal, a mediation gateway makes the circuit network terminal recognized as a packet network terminal in the packet-based network by performing IP registration for the circuit network terminal. An access gateway provides predetermined traffic interfacing upon request from the mediation gateway and transmits voice traffic from the circuit network terminal to a terminal of a called party via the packet-based network.
