Abstract

In at least one embodiment, an Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) network controller for a UMA mobile network is provided. The UMA network controller includes a circuit switched core network with at least one mobile switching center and a media gateway, and a packet switched core network with at least one serving GPRS serving node. The UMA network controller forwards messages relative to a control plan for both the circuit switched core network and the packet switched core network between mobile stations and at least one circuit switched part. The UMA network controller further forwards messages relative to a user plan for the circuit switched core network between mobile stations and the media gateway. The UMA network controller further forwards messages relative to a user plan for the packet switched core network between mobile stations and at least one packet switched part.
