1. A method for supporting combinational services to a recipient handset from an initiator handset using a portal on a Serving Node (SN) as a proxy for the recipient handset for delivering packet services on a packet switched (PS) network during a voice call between the initiator handset and the recipient handset, when the recipient handset is incapable of supporting combinational services, the method comprising:
- communicating with the initiator handset and the recipient handset;
exchanging information comprising connectivity options between the initiator handset andthe recipient handset;
initiating a voice call between the recipient handset and the initiator handset over a circuit switch (CS) network;
determining that the recipient handset cannot support combinational services;
receiving a request to initiate combinational services from personal agent (P A) logic storedin memory of the initiator handset, the combinational services request comprising a request for a packet service via the PS network;
configuring the portal on the SN for delivery of the packet service to the recipient handset;
migrating the voice call to a packet session on the PS network; and
adding the packet service to the packet session on the PS network,wherein, while a call or session is in progress, and without disconnecting the voice call or session, the SN provides combinational services to the recipient handset through a connection between the initiator handset and only one of the CS network and PS network at any given time; and
delivering a real-time or near real-time audio stream concurrently with a video stream, wherein the audio stream is not part of the video stream.

16. A system for supporting combinational services to a recipient handset from an initiator handset when the recipient handset is incapable of supporting combinational services, using a portal on a Serving Node (SN) as a proxy for the recipient handset for delivery packet services on a packet switched (PS) network during a voice call between the initiator handset and the recipient handset, the system comprising:
-
the SN in wireless communication with both the initiator handset and the recipient handset, wherein the SN comprises logic stored in memory for; communicating with the initiator handset and the recipient handset; exchanging information comprising connectivity options between the initiator handset and the recipient handset; initiating a voice call between the recipient handset and the initiator handset over a circuit switch (CS) network; determining that the recipient handset cannot support combinational services; receiving a request to initiate combinational services from personal agent (P A) logic stored in memory in the initiator handset, the combinational services request comprising a request for a packet service via the PS network; configuring the portal on the SN for delivery of the packet service to the recipient handset; migrating the voice call to a packet session on the PS network; and adding the packet service to the packet session on the PS network, wherein, while a call or session is in progress, and without disconnecting the voice call or session, the SN provides combinational services to the recipient handset through a connection between the initiator handset and only one of the CS network and PS network at any given time; and delivering a real-time or near real-time audio stream concurrently with a video stream, wherein the audio stream is not part of the video stream. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
