Abstract
An unlicensed wireless service is adapted to generate the interface protocols of a licensed wireless service to provide transparent transition of communication sessions between a licensed wireless service and an unlicensed wireless service. In one embodiment, a mobile station includes level 1, level 2, and level 3 protocols for licensed wireless service and an unlicensed wireless service. An indoor base station and indoor network controller provide protocol conversion for the unlicensed wireless service into a standard base station controller interface of the licensed wireless service.

21. A communication system, comprising:
-
a) a licensed wireless communication system comprising;
i) a core network; and
ii) a licensed access network for connecting a mobile station to the core network; and
b) an unlicensed wireless communication system for connecting the mobile station to the core network, wherein the unlicensed wireless communication system comprises;
i) an unlicensed network controller for communicating with the core network; and
ii) an unlicensed access point for communicatively connecting the mobile station and the unlicensed network controller;
c) an unlicensed base station for communicatively coupling the unlicensed network controller with the mobile station;
wherein the unlicensed network controller has a multi-layer protocol architecture for supporting general packet radio service (GPRS) data transmission, the multi-layer protocol architecture comprising a secure layer. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
