Patent ID: 6876849

Claim:
A method for supporting a multi-call in an IMT-2000 system providing a plurality of services including a voice communication service, a moving picture service and a radio internet service, wherein the IMT-2000 system includes one or more mobile stations, one or more radio networks and one or more core networks, the method comprising the steps of: (a) in response to a call request of the mobile station, transmitting an origination message to the radio network; (b) generating a CM service request message based on the origination message and transmitting the CM service request message to the core network; (c) determining whether the call request is an initial call request or an additional call request based on the CM service request message, wherein the additional call request corresponds to a request of an additional traffic channel for using other service; (d) generating one or more traffic channels for the mobile station; and (e) storing a first identity for the mobile station and a second identity for an assigned traffic channel in a storage unit, wherein said step d) comprises the steps of: (f) if the call request is the additional call request, searching the first identity and the second identity; and (g) adding a third identity for a traffic channel to be newly assigned, and wherein the mobile station is synchronous, the radio network is an asynchronous Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) and the core network is a synchronous ANSI-41 network, and wherein an IOS protocol sack is used between the UTRAN and the synchronous ANSI-41 network.
