Public land mobile network/private wireless network-integrated service network and system for the same
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a mobile switching center (MSC) in a public land mobile network (PLMN), said MSC being part of a public mobile communications network;
a base transceiver station (BTS);
a private branch exchange (PBX), said PBX being part of a private mobile communications network; and
a PLMN/private wireless network-integrated service system connected to the MSC, the BTS and the PBX, said PLMN/private wireless network-integrated service system and said PBX being separately disposed, the service system enabling a mobile station through wireless communication with the BTS to be routed by the service system to connect via the connected MSC or PBX to a corresponding one of said public mobile communications network and said private mobile communications network, said service system enabling voice and data to travel between said mobile station and one of said MSC and said PBX in dependence upon whether the mobile station connects through the public mobile communications network or the private mobile communications network, said service system comprising;
an inner switch for enabling inter-processor communications (IPCs) between said service system and said MSC, PBX, PDSN and said intranet;
a public-used transcoder/MSC link interface disposed between said inner switch and said MSC and serving as an interface to said MSC, said public-used transcoder/MSC link interface handling all voice calls to and from said mobile station that use said public mobile communications network;
a local-used transcoder/MSC link interface disposed between said inner switch and said PBX and serving as an interface to said PBX, said local-used transcoder/MSC link interface handling all voice calls to and from said mobile station that use said private mobile communications network;
a BTS link interface connected to the BTS; and
a controller processing all calls to and from the mobile station.

Abstract
A public land mobile network (PLMN)/private wireless network-integrated service network and a system for the service network. The service network according to the present invention can interwork with any PLMN with no dependence on an upper system. In the present invention, there is no need for a public BSC and a separate private BSC. The novel BSC handles both public and private data and voice calls placed from or placed to a mobile station or terminal. The novel BSC enables a wireless phone or terminal to place and receive calls using either the public communications network or the private communications network. Thus, the need for a redundant private BSC is eliminated while providing the diversity of services to mobile stations.
