Abstract
An integrated telecommunications system includes a wired subsystem consisting of wired links for establishing communication with terminals connected thereto, a wireless subsystem consisting of a group of base stations for communicating over wireless links, and a common central switch for establishing interconnections between selected communications channels. A switching controller is connected to the central switch for controlling the establishment of interconnections between selected communication channels in the system. A group controller is connected to the central switch for ensuring message-based mobility management of the wireless subsystem independently of the first controller.
