Methods and apparatuses for integration of broadcast transmission with access infrastructure of a public network for mobile communications
First Claim
1. A transport subsystem, comprising:
- interconnection means configured to;
receive a satellite channel broadcast by a broadcasting network comprising a geosynchronous satellite, wherein the satellite channel comprises at least a first flow of information signals configured to provide widely available content;
transfer at least the widely available content using an interface configured for communication with a device in a wireless access subsystem; and
communicate with at least one location database to determine a location of the device in the wireless access subsystem to provide at least one service utilizing the satellite channel via the interface configured for communication with the device in the wireless access subsystem, wherein the at least one service comprises personalized content that is based on the location and provided via the satellite channel.

Abstract
A telecommunications network for mobile users includes a user subsystem and a transport subsystem connected to an access subsystem. The access subsystem provides a user access communications interface and a transport access communications interface for exchange of information among the subsystems. The access subsystem is identified with a coverage area of the cellular telecommunication network. The access subsystem is associated with interconnection means in order to receive second information signals broadcast from one or more geostationary satellites and send them via the telecommunications network for mobile users to users located within the coverage area of the mobile telecommunications network.
