Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2423887A] A wireless communication system (100, 200, 300) comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) operably coupled to a cell-based radio communication system (160). The wireless local area network (WLAN) is adapted to support use of a control channel (360) for communication to or from the cell-based radio communication system (160). Preferably, a dual-mode wireless communication unit (112, 116) is configured as capable of communication with both the wireless local area network (WLAN) and the cell-based radio communication system (160), such that the a specific Multicast address (MCCH-mcast) and a Port Number (MCCH-port) are used on the control channel (360) for control channel communication by the dual-mode wireless communication unit (112, 116). In this manner, control channel communication is supported over a WLAN, thereby providing a wide range of new additional capabilities and benefits to end users of WLAN compatible units.
