Integration scheme for a mobile telephone
First Claim
1. A method of extending a mobile telecommunication network by providing fixed terminal access thereto, subscriber'"'"'s mobile stations in the mobile telecommunications network being addressable by subscriber information references, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first interface unit between the mobile telecommunications network and a wireline network;
providing a fixed terminal of a subscriber of the mobile telecommunications network, the fixed terminal being addressable with a subscriber information reference of the mobile telecommunications network and being connected to a local loop of the wireline network; and
providing services of the mobile telecommunication network to and from the subscriber'"'"'s fixed terminal through the first interface and the wireline network;
wherein mobile services in a mobile telecommunications network format from the mobile telecommunications network are encapsulated by the first interface unit in a wireline network format and are transmitted transparently through the wireline network.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for providing fixed terminal access to a mobile telecommunications network in which subscriber'"'"'s mobile stations in the mobile telecommunications network and the fixed terminals are addressable with subscriber information references of the mobile telecommunications network. The fixed terminals are connected to a local loop of a wireline network. An interface unit is provided between the mobile telecommunications network and the wireline network at a node of the mobile telecommunications network. Services of the mobile telecommunication network to and from a subscriber'"'"'s fixed terminal are provided through the interface and the wireline network. The wireline network may be a public service telephone network.
