1. A method of a gateway comprising:
- receiving a frame signal conforming to an lu User Plane (IuUP) protocol;
extracting PDU type information from the received frame signal;
extracting procedure indicator information from the received frame signal;
determining the PDU type of the received frame signal;
determining a value of the procedure indicator information of the received frame signal;
if the PDU is determined to be a certain type and the procedure indicator information is determined to be a certain value, then converting the protocol type from the received frame signal conforming to the IuUP protocol to a flow control signal conforming to a Real-time Transport Protocol Control Protocol (RTCP) for an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS); and
transmitting the flow control signal.

Abstract
A gateway device includes a communication unit communicating a frame signal conforming to an IuUP (Iu User Plane) protocol with a wireless base station controller connected to a circuit switching network; a determination unit determining whether the frame signal received by the communication unit satisfies a predetermined condition or not; a conversion unit converting information included in the frame signal to information to be set in a flow control signal of an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) when the frame signal satisfies the predetermined condition; and a flow control signal transmission unit transmitting the flow control signal to a communication device in the IMS.

12. A gateway comprising:
-
a reception unit, implemented at least in hardware comprising a processor and memory, that receives a frame signal conforming to an lu User Plane (IuUP) protocol; a transmission unit, implemented at least in the hardware, that transmits a flow control signal; a determination unit which extracts PDU type information and procedure indicator information from the received frame signal;
wherein said determination unit being configured to determine the type of PDU and a value of the procedure indicator information received from the frame signal; anda conversion unit, implemented at least in the hardware, that converts, if the PDU is determined to be a certain type and the procedure indicator information is determined to be a certain value, the protocol type from the received frame signal conforming to the IuUP protocol to the flow control signal conforming to a Real-time Transport Protocol Control Protocol (RTCP) for an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
