1. A system for a hybrid architecture in a communications system comprising:
- a backbone access network;
an access domain;
an Ad-Hoc domain underlying the access domain and arranged to provision wireless communication for nodes within a service area of the Ad-Hoc domain and the access domain;
a trunk node configured to act as a gateway between the nodes within the Ad-Hoc domain and the backbone access network.

Abstract
An architectural solution in which standalone ad-hoc network cells are used as an extension of the backbone infrastructure in terms of network architecture or/and its service capabilities is provided. These Ad-Hoc networks will integrate to the Internet via cellular and other access networks. This integration brings new possibilities to network operators and ISP'"'"'s. In its extended architecture, it is envisaged that the mobility issues are handled by utilizing the IP mobility capabilities, taking into account the mobile mesh Ad-Hoc specific requirements.

17. A method for a communications system that includes a plurality of access domains and entities underlaid by Ad-Hoc domains for provisioning of wireless communication for nodes within the Ad-Hoc service area, and Trunk Nodes adapted to handle connection to/from at least one of the access domains, the Ad-Hoc domains, and overlaid backbone entities, comprising:
-
associating the Ad-Hoc domains with an operator backbone entity;
selecting a trunk node to act as a gateway between the nodes within an Ad-Hoc domain and a backbone entity; and
communicating information between the Ad-Hoc domain and the backbone entity. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
