| Abstract: | In cellular-WLAN integration, a dual-mode mobile station (MS) typically disables the WLAN module for power saving. A major problem is that for an incoming VoIP call (or data session), the MS will not be able to receive this call from the WLAN. It turns out that the call is directed to the cellular network. This letter proposes a simple push solution where an MS can accurately detect a VoIP call from paging signaling of the cellular network. Then the WLAN module of the MS is turned on and the VoIP call is connected to the MS through the relatively inexpensive WLAN. |
