Methods And Systems For Routing Authentication And/Or Identification Data Of A Cellular Subscriber
First Claim
1. A system for registering a cellular device, comprising:
- a hosting cellular device;
a remote network node; and
a socket communication device, comprising;
a non cellular communication module which establishes a non cellular communication connection with said remote network node over a non cellular communication network and acquires identification and/or authentication data of a subscriber of a visited cellular network from said remote network node over said non cellular communication connection;
a subscriber authentication unit adaptor configured to engage with contacts of a subscriber authentication unit socket of said hosting cellular device; and
a managing module which receives said identification and/or authentication data from said non cellular communication module and provides said identification and/or authentication data to said hosting cellular device via said authentication unit adaptor;
wherein said authentication unit adaptor forwards said identification and/or authentication data to said hosting cellular communication so as to allow registering said hosting cellular communication to said visited cellular network.

Abstract
A system for registering a cellular device, comprising: a hosting cellular device; a remote network node; and a socket communication device, comprising: a non cellular communication module which establishes a non cellular communication connection with the remote network node over a non cellular communication network and acquires identification and/or authentication data of a subscriber of a visited cellular network from the remote network node over the non cellular communication connection; a subscriber authentication unit adaptor configured to engage with contacts of a subscriber authentication unit socket of the hosting cellular device; and a managing module which receives the identification and/or authentication data from the non cellular communication module and provides the identification and/or authentication data to the hosting cellular device via the authentication unit adaptor; wherein the authentication unit adaptor forwards the identification and/or authentication data to the hosting cellular communication so as to allow registering the hosting cellular communication to the visited cellular network.

11. A method for registering a gateway as a cellular device in a home cellular network, comprising:
-
establishing a communication connection over a communication network between a cellular device and a gateway; receiving from a home cellular network, at said gateway, at least one request for at least one of identification and authentication of a subscriber during a network registration process; routing said at least one request, via said communication connection, to said cellular device; routing at least one response to said at least one request, via said communication connection, to said home cellular network so as to register said gateway to said home cellular network; and connecting local calls received at said gateway via said home cellular network to said cellular device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
