Methods and devices for interworking of wireless wide area networks and wireless local area networks or wireless personal area networks
First Claim
1. A method for interworking in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- detecting presence of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) and a collocated one or more of a wireless local area network (WLAN) or a wireless personal area network (WPAN);
selecting a wireless network from one of the WLAN or the WPAN for conducting a wireless transaction, wherein the selected wireless network comprises a network lacking a backbone infrastructure;
wirelessly transmitting a first registration message from a mobile device to the WWAN requesting access information for the selected wireless network;
receiving a second registration message from the WWAN, the second registration message comprising a token containing access information for the selected wireless network;
transmitting the token from the mobile device to the selected wireless network to gain access to the selected wireless network; and
conducting at least a part of the wireless transaction using the accessed selected wireless network,wherein selecting the wireless network further comprises selecting based on a number of access points associated with the selected wireless network,wherein the at least the part of the wireless transaction comprises multimedia content based on a user preference, and wherein the user preference is maintained by the selected wireless network.

Abstract
Embodiments describe registration in a wireless communication system. A method includes wirelessly transmitting over a WWAN a first registration message from a mobile device, wirelessly transmitting through the WWAN a second registration message to a WLAN access point and receiving at the mobile device access through the WLAN access point. According to another embodiment is a method for constructing a self-configuring ad-hoc network. The method can include receiving a GPS coordinate from a WWAN channel node at a management system and creating an initial topography based at least in part on the GPS coordinate to achieve a network connectivity with diverse routes between a plurality of nodes.
