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 mobile station comprising:
-
a) a first wireless interface to access a licensed wireless communication network;
b) a second wireless interface to access an unlicensed wireless communication network via an unlicensed wireless base station using an unlicensed radio frequency;
c) a third interface to communicate with an unlicensed wireless network controller communicatively coupled to the base station via a broadband network; and
d) circuits for handling a set of unlicensed radio resource (RR) messages transmitted over the second interface to support assigning a voice bearer channel for the mobile station to access voice bearer services of the licensed wireless communication system via the unlicensed wireless communication system, wherein the set of unlicensed RR messages include;
an activate channel message sent by the network controller and received at the mobile station triggering establishment of the voice bearer channel for the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (22)

23. A machine readable medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a mobile station which is connected to an unlicensed wireless communication system via an unlicensed network controller, enables the mobile station to generate, transmit, and process a set of unlicensed radio resource (RR) messages to support assigning a voice bearer channel for the mobile station to access voice bearer services of a licensed wireless communication system via the unlicensed wireless communication system, wherein the set of unlicensed RR messages comprising:
an activate channel message sent by the network controller and received at the mobile station, wherein the receipt of the active channel message by the mobile station triggers establishment of the voice bearer channel for the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (24)
