Patent ID: 11910307

Abstract:
A 3G/LTE proxy system may enable LTE wireless communication by a UE roaming in an LTE VPMN but associated with a 3G carrier. The system may include an EPC configured to proxy as an LTE-capable HPMN for the UE as the UE is attached to a VPLMN. The system may include a 3G MSC configured to proxy as a 3G-capable VPMN for the HPMN. The system may include a translator. The translator may be configured to translate a data communication from an LTE data standard to a 3G data standard, and vice versa. The translator may be configured to translate a text communication from an LTE text standard to a 3G text standard, and vice versa. The translator may be configured to translate a voice communication from an LTE voice standard to a 3G voice standard, and vice versa.
