Radio communication method, radio communication system, wide area radio communication base station, and radio communication terminal
First Claim
1. A wireless communication method for performing wireless communication by using a network connecting a wide-area wireless communication system capable of wireless paging and one or more wireless communications systems, between a calling side connecting through the network to any wireless communication system or the wide-area wireless communication system and a called side connecting to another wireless communication system in the network, the method comprising:
- a paging-sending step of sending a communication request packet including a calling side ID number on the network and a called side ID number on the network to the called side by the calling side;
a converting step of converting the called side ID number on the network into a called side ID number on the wide-area wireless communication system;
a paging step of paging a receiving means in a wireless communication terminal of the called side by sending a paging packet including the called side ID number on the wide-area wireless communication system and the calling side ID number on the network;
a paging detecting step of detecting, by the wireless communication terminal, paging from the wide-area wireless communication system;
a paging notifying step of notifying, by the receiving means in the wireless communication terminal, wireless-communication-controlling wireless communication means that the receiving means has been paged along with the calling side ID number on the network;
a connecting step of connecting the called side to the calling side by sending a reception notification packet from the wireless communication means to the calling side ID number on the network through any wireless communication system in the network;
a communication step of performing wireless communication between the calling side and the called side; and
a disconnecting step of disconnecting connection to the wide-area wireless communication system by at least one of the calling side and the called side.

Abstract
The present invention is intended to provide, for a wireless communication system originally having a calling function, a wireless communication system enabling an audio communication service or the like which requires a calling function, and to provide a wireless communication system which reduces power consumption of a wireless terminal when it is in a standby mode. A communication party, which is a calling side, a network to which the communication party is connected, and a wireless LAN base station, a pager base station, and a pager controller which are connected to the network, and a PC, which is a wireless communication terminal, constitute the present invention. The PC includes a wireless LAN card and a pager card 2. This forms the present invention.

3. A wireless communication system capable of data communication, comprising:
-
a paging terminal for a calling side to perform communication; a network connecting one or more wireless communication systems to which said paging terminal is connected; a wireless communication base station and a wide-area wireless communication base station which are connected to said network; and a wireless communication terminal for a called side connecting to another wireless communication system in the network to perform communication, wherein the wireless communication terminal has a receiving means to extract a calling side ID number on the network in a paging packet including the calling side ID number and being sent from said wide-area wireless communication base station; and communication means for performing data communication with a calling side having the calling side ID number by using any wireless communication systems capable of data communication with said wireless communication base station. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)

6. A wireless communication terminal capable of communicating with both a wide-area wireless communication system capable of wireless paging, and a wireless communication system capable of data communication by using a network connecting the wide-area wireless communication system capable of wireless paging and one or more wireless communication systems, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
-
receiving means for receiving a wireless page in the wide-area wireless communication system; paging-information recognizing means for recognizing information concerning a calling side ID number on the network and paging details, the information being included in the wireless page; and wireless communication means for performing wireless communication with the calling side having the calling side ID number in the wireless communication system when said paging-information recognizing means requests wireless communication to start. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
