Extended call handling functionality using multi-network simulcasting
First Claim
1. A system for handling calls using simulcasting of multimedia information via a gateway device communicatively coupled to a wide area network, the system comprising:
- at least one processor for use in an access device, the at least one processor arranged to communicate to the wide area network using at least one wireless interface of the access device, the at least one processor operable to, at least;
associate the access device with the gateway device;
communicate multimedia and call information with the wideband network using the at least one wireless interface;
send, to the gateway device via the wide area network, a request to record the call information communicated during a call over the wide area network;
receive, from the gateway device via the broadband network, acceptance of the request to record the call information, if resources needed for recording the call information communicated during the call are available; and
receive, from the gateway device via the broadband network, rejection of the request to record the call information, if resources needed for recording the call information communicated during the call are not available.

12. A method for handling calls using simulcasting of multimedia information via a gateway device communicatively coupled to a wide area network, the method comprising:
in an access device comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor operable to communicate to the wide area network using at least one wireless interface of the access device; associating the access device with the gateway device; communicating multimedia and call information with the wideband network using the at least one wireless interface; sending, to the gateway device via the wide area network, a request to record the call information communicated during a call over the wide area network; receiving, from the gateway device via the broadband network, acceptance of the request to record the call information, if resources needed for recording the call information communicated during the call are available; and receiving, from the gateway device via the broadband network, rejection of the request to record the call information, if resources needed for recording the call information communicated during the call are not available. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for handling calls using simulcasting of multimedia information via a gateway device communicatively coupled to a wide area network, the method comprising:
in an access device comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor operable to communicate to the wide area network using at least one wireless interface of the access device; associating the access device with the gateway device; communicating multimedia and call information with the wideband network using the at least one wireless interface; sending, to the gateway device via the wide area network, a request to store the call information communicated during a call over the wide area network; after the call information is stored, sending, to the gateway device, a request for the stored call information; and receiving, from the gateway device, the stored call information for playback.
