Abstract
A system and method for communication service portability include the ability to receive, at an access point, a registration request for a user of an endpoint and to generate, based on the received registration request, a registration request for a wireless network authorization module, the generated registration request containing information from a user information module. The system and method also include the ability to receive a response to the generated registration request, to determine whether the generated registration request has been accepted, and to generate a response to the received registration request based on the status of the received response.

41. A method for communication service portability, comprising:
-
extracting, at an endpoint, information from a user information module;
detecting, at the endpoint, the presence of a wireless network with at least one mobile switching center and the presence of an enterprise network with at least one access point;
identifying, at the endpoint, selection information for both the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network;
evaluating, at the endpoint, the selection information for both the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network;
selecting, at the endpoint, one of the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network based on the evaluated selection information;
generating, at the endpoint, a registration request for a user of the endpoint, the registration request containing the extracted information from the user information module; and
transmitting the registration request from the endpoint to the selected one of the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)

48. An endpoint, comprising:
-
a port configured to couple to a user information module; and
an access client;
wherein the endpoint is operable to;
extract information from a user information module coupled to the port;
detect the presence of a wireless network with at least one mobile switching center and the presence of an enterprise network with at least one access point;
identify selection information for both the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network;
evaluate the selection information for both the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network;
select one of the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network based on the evaluated selection information;
generate a registration request for a user of the endpoint, the registration request containing the extracted information from the user information module; and
transmit the registration request to the selected one of the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)

55. A set of logic for communication service portability, the logic encoded in computer readable media and operable to:
-
extract, at an endpoint, information from a user information module;
detect, at the endpoint, the presence of a wireless network with at least one mobile switching center and the presence of an enterprise network with at least one access point;
identify, at the endpoint, selection information for both the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network;
evaluate, at the endpoint, the selection information for both the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network;
select, at the endpoint, one of the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network based on the evaluated selection information;
generate, at the endpoint, a registration request for a user of the endpoint, the registration request containing the extracted information from the user information module; and
transmit the registration request from the endpoint to the selected one of the detected wireless network and the detected enterprise network. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)

62. A method for communication service portability, comprising:
-
receiving, at a wireless network authorization module, a registration request from an access point, the registration request containing information from a user information module;
determining, at the wireless network authorization module, whether to accept the registration request from the access point based on the information from the user information module;
generating, at the wireless network authorization module, a response to the registration request from the access point, the response including an indication of whether the registration request from the access point has been accepted; and
transmitting the response from the wireless network authorization module to the access point.

63. A method for communication service portability, comprising:
-
generating, at a base station, a first registration request containing information from a user information module;
receiving, at a wireless network authorization module, at least a portion of the first registration request generated at the base station;
generating, at the wireless network authorization module, a response to the first registration request generated at the base station;
receiving, at the wireless network authorization module, a second registration request generated at an access point, the second registration request containing information from the user information module; and
generating, at the wireless network authorization module, a response to the second registration request generated at the access point.
