System and method for voice over IP
First Claim
1. A voice over Internet (VOIP) system, comprising:
- at least one infrastructure component communicating with one or more wireless devices using a wireless device over-the-air protocol different from Internet protocol (IP), the infrastructure component including;
at least one logic component facilitating communication between a target wireless device and a communication device, the target wireless device not supporting IP, the logic component undertaking method acts including;
transforming information in IP protocol to wireless device protocol;
sending the information in wireless device protocol to the target wireless device;
transforming information in wireless device protocol from the target wireless device to IP protocol; and
sending the information in 1P protocol toward the communication device.

Abstract
A wireless telephone without IP capability nonetheless communicates with an infrastructure that uses IP. An infrastructure component assigns the wireless telephone a temporary EP address based on the location of the telephone, and then transforms over-the-air (OTA) voice protocol packets, such as IS-95 packets, from the wireless telephone to IP packets. The IP packets are sent through the infrastructure to another communication device. In turn, IP packets representing voice communication from the communication device are sent through the infrastructure, transformed to OTA packets, and transmitted to the wireless telephone.
