Abstract:
1. A method for providing a mobile data service to a mobile device over a Fixed Wireless Data Network (FWDN), the method comprising: coupling a Mobile Wireless Data Network (MWDN) with the FWDN via a first, a second and a third IP Transport Network (IPTN); receiving a mobile data service request from a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), wherein the PLMN is coupled to the MWDN via a fourth IPTN; confirming that the mobile device associated with the mobile data service request is communicatively coupled to and located with the FWDN by intercepting registration and location information transmitted from the mobile device; verifying authenticity of the mobile data service request, wherein the mobile data service request is at least authenticated by the MWDN; delivering mobile data service to the mobile device; herein the mobile device transparently communicates with the PLMN; receiving and separating a user-plane data and a first control-plane data associated with the mobile data service request; and determining whether the user-plane data is communicated to the FWDN over one of the second and the third IPTN, wherein the first control-plane data comprises instructions for communicating the user-plane data; delivering the user-plane data to the mobile device; transmitting a second control-plane data to the FWDN over the first IPTN; and instructing the FWDN to communicate the user-plane data to the MWDN over one of the second and the third IPTN.
