Patent ID: 8046420

Claim:
A communication method, comprising: receiving a first call at a first base transceiver station (BTS) interface of a first distributed mobile architecture (DMA) server from a first mobile communication device, wherein the first DMA server communicates with the first mobile communication device via a first wireless communication protocol; receiving a second call at a second BTS interface of the first DMA server from a second mobile communication device, wherein the first DMA server communicates with the second mobile communication device via a second wireless communication protocol that is different from the first wireless communication protocol; converting voice information associated with the first call to first packet data; converting voice information associated with the second call to second packet data; determining that a second DMA server communicates with at least a first destination device and at least one second DMA device based on registration data stored at the first DMA server; routing the first packet data to the second DMA server via a distributed mobile architecture gateway (DMAG); and routing the second packet data via a private Internet Protocol (IP) network to the at least one second DMA device, wherein the second call is accessible to a second destination device via the at least one second DMA device.
