Plug and play wireless architecture supporting packet data and IP voice / multimedia services

摘要

A telecommunications network (10) supporting wireless access to one or more public packet data networks, including, but not limited to, the Internet, and to one or more public switched circuit networks, for example, but not limited to, e.g., the public system telephone network (PSTN). A computing device and a computing device/voice access device combination each comprise subscriber equipment (21). The wireless access (35) network supports both switched circuit transmissions and packet data transmissions to one or more network subscribers, via respective network subscriber equipment (21). The wireless access (35) network comprises a protocol for packet data message transmissions from a public data network, including, but not limited to, the Internet (65), to a network subscriber. The wireless access (35) network also comprises a protocol (40) for voice message transmissions from a switched circuit network to a network subscriber.
