Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 2:
3. A method, comprising:
establishing a long-term evolution (LTE) proxy for a third-generation (3G) home public mobile network (HPMN), wherein the LTE proxy comprises an evolved packet core (EPC);
establishing a 3G proxy for an LTE visited public land mobile network (VPLMN), wherein the 3G proxy comprises a mobile switching center (MSC);
establishing a translation module communicatively coupled to the EPC and the MSC, wherein the translation module is configured to translate a communication from an LTE standard to a 3G standard and vice versa; and
translating, by the translation module:
a first LTE communication to a first 3G communication, wherein the first LTE communication is:
received by the EPC from the VPLMN; and
output by the MSC to the HPMN; or

a second 3G communication to a second LTE communication, wherein the second 3G communication is:
received by the MSC from the HPMN; and,
output by the EPC to the VPLMN.
