Abstract:
1. A method of forwarding circuit-switched information to a mobile device that is configured for packetized communications within a wireless local area network, the method comprising: receiving a voice call comprising the circuit-switched information via a circuit-switched network; converting the circuit-switched information of the voice call into a packetized format that is suitable for transmission via the wireless local area network; receiving a poll from the mobile device; sending a response to the received poll to the mobile device, the response causing the mobile device to wake from a power conserving state that is associated with a substantially dormant state of the mobile device, wherein the waking from the power conserving state activates at least a portion of the mobile device from the substantially dormant state; and transmitting the packetized format of the circuit-switched information to the mobile device via the wireless local area network.
