REGISTERING A TERMINAL INTO A MULTI-SERVICE NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for registering a terminal in a multi-service network, the method comprising:
- specifying, with a processor-based multi-radio network gateway, a location of the terminal in the multi-service network by compiling an address combination according to either (i) a fully unambiguous identifier of a user and either a domain name of a multi-radio protocol gateway or a separate domain name of an SS7 gateway, or (ii) a fully unambiguous identifier of the user and a fully unambiguous domain name formed by a numeric IP address.

Abstract
A system includes a terminal, a wireless access network, an IP telephony network, a core network gateway from the IP telephony network to the public mobile phone network and a network device, which connects the wireless access network to the IP telephony network and adapts the IP telephony network services to be used by utilizing the circuit-switched signaling protocols of the terminal. A location updating request is received from the terminal over the wireless access network. Location updating is performed via a core network gateway. The network device performs user registration to the IP telephony network using a domain name formed by the phone number of the user and the domain name of the network device or the numeric IP address as the address connection to be registered and as location data in the IP telephony network.

8. A system for registering a terminal to a multi-service network, characterized in that it comprises:
-
a. a terminal adapted to operate either wirelessly or over a fixed connection to perform a location updating procedure of a circuit-switched part of a public mobile core network, b. a wireless access network communicating with the terminal, and c. a multi-radio protocol gateway, which is adapted to register the terminal to the multi-service network via the wireless access network and which, together with a subscriber data pool of the multi-service network, implements a visitor location register of the public mobile core network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A multi-radio protocol gateway arranged to interface at least one wireless access network and a multi-service network, wherein the multi-radio protocol gateway together with a subscriber data pool of the multi-service network implements a visitor location register of a public mobile core network, the multi-radio protocol gateway comprising a processor configured for:
-
(i) registering a terminal connected to said at least one wireless access network to the multi-service network, and (ii) responsive to receiving a location updating request for the terminal, specifying a location of the terminal in the multi-service network with an address combination including one of the following combinations (i) and (ii); (i) a unique identifier of a user and at least one of the following;
user and either a domain name of the multi-radio protocol gateway or a unique numeric IP address of a multi-radio protocol gateway, and(ii) a unique identifier of a user and either a domain name of a SS7 gateway , or a unique numeric IP address of the SS7 gateway. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
