Abstract

A communication system can include a network having a first network access point and a second network access point and being capable of carrying data between the first network access point and the second access point via, for example, a packet-switched bearer and a circuit-switched bearer. The communications system can also include a first terminal configured to connect to the first network access point and a second terminal configured to connect to the second network access point. Each terminal can be capable of simultaneously supporting a packet-switched connection and a circuit-switched connection with the other terminal via the network as a single logical communication arrangement.
