MULTIPLE ACCESS SERVICE CONVERGENCE
First Claim
1. A method of providing call processing for a mobile terminal in a control subsystem in which the mobile terminal is anchored comprising:
- receiving in the control subsystem call signaling for a call intended for the mobile terminal, the control subsystem being a home services subsystem for the mobile terminal;
providing to the mobile terminal call signaling for the call via a packet subsystem; and
effecting establishment of a bearer path to the mobile terminal for the call via a circuit-switched subsystem.

Abstract
A mobile terminal is anchored in a control subsystem, which will function as the mobile terminal'"'"'s home service subsystem. Call signaling for an incoming call is routed to the control subsystem, which will provide call processing. The call processing may include determining how to route the call to the mobile terminal. Call signaling may be provided to the mobile terminal via the packet subsystem while the bearer path for the incoming call may be established to the mobile terminal though either the circuit-switched subsystem or the packet subsystem. When the mobile terminal is capable of supporting local wireless communications, the bearer paths for incoming calls may be provided via a local wireless subsystem. The subsystem chosen for the bearer path may be based on whether there is sufficient bandwidth to support the bearer path over an available packet-based connection.
