Abstract

A teleservice server in a wireless network provides an interface between a mobile station and an Internet protocol network thereby facilitating data transfers between these elements. The server translates datagrams from the IP network into a format suitable for transmission over a wireless network that provides voice communication capabilities. The server also translates data messages received from the mobile station over the wireless network into a format suitable for appropriate transmission in the IP network.

Claims

1. A method for communicating data to a mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a request to transfer data from an IP network to a mobile station;

determining whether said mobile station is registered in a first network;

if said mobile station is registered in the first network adapting the data to be transferred for transport via a teleservice provided in said first network; and

transferring said adapted data to said mobile station.
