Abstract: A network controller operates in an unlicensed wireless communication system including a first radio access network. The network controller includes a Up interface for communicating with a mobile station and an IP network interface. The network controller includes a network interface for connecting the network controller to a UMTS core network that is accessible to a second radio access network that includes a UTRAN. The network interface includes an Iu-CS interface to communicate with a MSC in the UMTS core network. The network interface supports signaling protocols for circuit-switched services while inter-working with the UMTS core network via the Iu-CS interface using a layered protocol that includes a RANAP layer over a SCCP layer and several Iu-CS control plane lower layers. The network controller includes modules for generating and/or processing messages transmitted over the network interface. The network controller appears to the UMTS core network as a UTRAN RNC.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of activating a packet transport channel (PTC) in a communication system that includes a first licensed wireless communication system and a second generic access network (GAN) that has a generic access network controller (GANC). The GANC is communicatively coupled to the first communication system through a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) Iu interface. The method sends a GA-PSR activate PTC request message from the GANC to a user equipment (UE). The message comprises a terminal endpoint identifier (TEID) that the GANC assigns to the UE. The message also receives a GA-PSR activate PTC acknowledge message from the UE at the GANC.
