Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method of activating a packet transport channel (PTC) in a communication system that includes a first licensed wireless communication system and a second generic access network (GAN) that has a generic access network controller (GANC). The GANC is communicatively coupled to the first communication system through a universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) Iu interface. The method sends a GA-PSR activate PTC request message from the GANC to a user equipment (UE). The message comprises a terminal endpoint identifier (TEID) that the GANC assigns to the UE. The message also receives a GA-PSR activate PTC acknowledge message from the UE at the GANC.
