Patent Images
1. A method for providing an Internet Protocol (IP) push-to-talk (IPP2T) service using a wireless local area network (WLAN) comprising:
- receiving information and control signaling over an air interface from a subscriber terminal (ST) at an access point (AP) via the WLAN;
packetizing said information and control signaling by said AP;
forwarding said packetized information and control signaling between said AP and a broadband access network terminal (BANT) via a local area network (LAN);
sending said packetized information and control signaling between said BANT and a multicast-enabled network via a broadband access network; and
directing said packetized information and control signaling to a WLAN mobile radio system (WLMRS) controller (WLMRSC) via a multicast-enabled router (MR).
