Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for use with a mobile radio network, which receives and analyzes packets from a packet-switched fixed network, such as the Internet, and depending on the type of information received (e.g., speech, low speed data, or high speed WWW data), routes the information over an appropriate radio air interface to a mobile radio terminal. The speech information can be routed to mobile radio terminals over a conventional circuit-switched mobile radio link (e.g., a GSM traffic channel), the low speed data can be routed over a packet-switched mobile radio link (e.g., a GPRS traffic data channel), and the high speed data can be routed over a wideband broadcast radio link (e.g., a DAB network radio link). As a result, mobile radio terminals can advantageously enjoy full access to the Internet and thereby communicate effectively over the Internet with other mobile and wire-bound terminals.
