-
when a dual-mode mobile client initiates a service request, retrieving said client'"'"'s subscription profile to obtain all the services authorized for the subscriber and sending this information to an access gateway; when said client sends said access gateway packet data traffic, routing said client'"'"'s packet data traffic via GGSN; and when said client sends said gateway non-packet data broadband multi-media traffic, routing said client'"'"'s non-data traffic directly at the access gateway without involving a GGSN. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
