Patent ID: 6957069

Claim:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for communication in a wireless mobile network, at least one wireless local area network (WLAN), and for ad hoc peer to peer wireless communications with other WTRUs, comprising: selectively operable transceiver components that are configured for wireless mobile network communications with mobile network base stations, WLAN communications with WLAN base stations, and wireless peer to peer communications with other WTRUs; a transceiver controller configured to selectively control wireless communications with mobile network base stations based on communication signals received from WLAN base stations or other WTRUs such that: a wireless mobile network communication is switched to a WLAN base station or other WTRU when wireless communication signals received from such WLAN base station or other WTRU indicates a first predetermined quality of service level available therefrom, and a wireless mobile network communication is sought to be established when a wireless communication with a WLAN base station or other WTRU indicates that at least a second predetermined quality of service level is no longer available therefrom and no communication signals are received from a WLAN base station or other WTRU that indicate availability of the first predetermined quality of service level; and said transceiver controller is further configured to selectively control wireless communications with WLAN base on communication signals received from other WTRUs such that: a WLAN communication is switched to another WTRU when communication signals received from such other WTRU indicates a third predetermined quality of service level is available therefrom, and a WLAN communication is sought to be established when communication with another WTRU indicates that at least a fourth predetermined quality of service level is no longer available therefrom and no communication signals are received from other WTRUs that indicate availability of the third predetermined quality of service level.
