Method and system for providing a wireless terminal communication session integrated with data and voice services
First Claim
1. In a first communication network having at least one subscriber device connectable the first communication network via a network access service provider switch, the at least one subscriber device connectable to at least one service provider device operating within a second communication network via a gateway device, a method for providing to the at least one subscriber device with a communication session with integrated data and voice services, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying the subscriber device associated with a data communication session in the first communication network; and
intercepting voice service related request transmitted from the service provider device in the second communication network to the subscriber device associated with the data communication session in the first communication network; and
logically linking the intercepted voice service related requests from the service provider device in the second communication network with the subscriber device associated with the data communication session in the first communication network; and
suspending the data communication session associated with the subscriber device between the subscriber device in the first communication network and the second communication network.

Abstract
In a communication network a method and system for integrating data and voice services into a single session. Subscribers in a wireless communication network are communicatively linked to information sources in a data network via a gateway. The subscribers submit requests to voice service providers in the data network. A data and voice switching server effects integration of the data and voice services within the current session by suspending the data session, opening an integrated voice and data session and maintaining the integrated session by controlling and coordinating the functionality of an access provider switch, a gateway server, a remote access server, and a voice server. Subscribers are provided integrated voice and data services within a single session. After the completion of the voice services the subscribers transparently reconnected to the data network by the voice and data switching server.
