Extended cellular telephony protocol
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting voice packet data over a selected one of a first network in which multiple devices belonging to a defined set communicate with each other according to a first protocol and a second network in which multiple devices communicate with each other according to a second protocol, different from the first protocol, the method comprising:
- establishing at least one radio bearer between at least two devices in the first network according to the first protocol;
receiving at least one voice packet that conforms to the second protocol;
modifying the at least one voice packet to conform to the first and the second protocols; and
transmitting the at least one modified voice packet using the at least one radio bearer.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for transmitting voice packet data over a selected one of a first network in which multiple devices belonging to a defined set communicate with each other according to a first protocol and a second network in which multiple devices communicate with each other according to a second protocol, different from the first protocol. The method includes establishing at least one radio bearer between at least two devices in the first network according to the first protocol, receiving at least one voice packet that conforms to the second protocol, modifying the at least one voice packet to conform to the first and the second protocols, and transmitting the at least one modified voice packet using the at least one radio bearer.

6. A method for transmitting voice packet data over a selected one of a piconet in which multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices within a defined set communicate with each other by exchanging messages with a master device within the set using a Bluetooth protocol and a cellular wireless network in which mobile units and base stations exchange messages according to a cellular telephony protocol, the method comprising:
-
establishing at least one radio bearer between at least two devices in the piconet according to the Bluetooth protocol;
receiving at least one voice packet that conforms to the cellular telephony protocol;
modifying the at least one voice packet to conform to the Bluetooth and the cellular telephony protocols; and
transmitting the at least one modified voice packet using the at least one radio bearer. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for receiving voice packet data over a selected one of a first network in which multiple devices belonging to a defined set communicate with each other according to a first protocol and a second network in which multiple devices communicate with each other according to a second protocol, different from the first protocol, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one voice packet that conforms to the first protocol;
determining whether the at least one voice packet conforms to the first and the second protocols;
processing the at least one voice packet according to the first protocol in response to determining that the at least one voice packet does not conform to the second protocol; and
processing the at least one voice packet according to the first and second protocols in response to determining that the at least one voice packet conforms to the first and the second protocols. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for receiving voice packet data over a selected one of a piconet in which multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices within a defined set communicate with each other by exchanging messages with a master device within the set using a Bluetooth protocol and a cellular wireless network in which mobile units and base stations exchange messages according to a cellular telephony protocol, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one voice packet that conforms to the Bluetooth protocol;
determining whether the at least one voice packet conforms to the Bluetooth and the cellular telephony protocols;
processing the at least one voice packet according to the Bluetooth protocol in response to determining that the at least one voice packet does not conform to the cellular telephony protocol; and
processing the at least one voice packet according to the Bluetooth and cellular telephony protocols in response to determining that the at least one voice packet conforms to the Bluetooth and cellular telephony protocols. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method for wireless telecommunications using a first network in which multiple devices belonging to a defined set communicate with each other according to a first protocol and a second network in which multiple devices communicate with each other according to a second protocol, different from the first protocol, the method comprising:
-
detecting a first device for sending and receiving messages according to the first protocol;
determining whether the first device is configured to send and receive messages according to the first and second protocols; and
forming a wireless telecommunications link between the first device and a second device configured to send and receive messages according to the second protocol, the wireless telecommunications link comprising a portion that operates according to the first protocol and a portion that operates according to the second protocol. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A method for wireless telecommunications using a piconet in which multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices within a defined set communicate with each other by exchanging messages with a master device within the set using a Bluetooth protocol and a cellular wireless network in which mobile units and base stations exchange messages according to a cellular telephony protocol, the method comprising:
-
detecting a first device for sending and receiving messages according to the Bluetooth protocol;
determining whether the first device is configured to send and receive messages according to the Bluetooth and cellular telephony protocols; and
forming a random access channel between the first device and a second device configured to send and receive messages according to the cellular telephony protocol, the random access channel comprising a portion that operates according to the Bluetooth protocol and a portion that operates according to the cellular telephony protocol. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
