Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit communicates with a second wireless transmit/receive unit in a combined circuit switched (CS) session and an IP multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) session, where the second wireless transmit/receive unit uses VoIP.

Claims (21)

1. A method implemented in a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for communication with a second WTRU via a wireless network, the first WTRU being configured to support a circuit switched (CS) voice call and an IP multimedia core network subsystem (IMS), the method comprising:

receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Invite message that indicates a request for the first WTRU to participate in a combined CS and IMS session with the second WTRU, wherein the combined CS and IMS session includes a CS call and a PS session at the first WTRU, and a voice over IP (VoIP) call at the second WTRU; and

sending a SIP OK message to the second WTRU in response to the SIP Invite message.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending voice and data content to the second WTRU via the combined CS and IMS session.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a message to initiate establishment of a packet-switched (PS) bearer for the IMS session of the combined session.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a message to initiate establishment of a CS bearer for the CS session of the combined session.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a SIP BYE message to initiate a release of the combined session.

6. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in a wireless communication with a second WTRU via a wireless network, the WTRU comprising:

a circuit switched (CS) domain device configured to process a voice call;

an IP multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) domain device configured to:

process a media content session,

receive a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Invite message that indicates a request for the WTRU to participate in a combined CS and IMS session with the second WTRU, wherein the combined CS and IMS session includes a CS call and a PS session at the WTRU, and a voice over IP (VoIP) call at the second WTRU, and

send an SIP OK message to the second WTRU in response to the SIP Invite message.

7. The dual mode WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the IMS domain device is further configured to send data associated with the IMS session of the combined session.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IMS domain device is further configured to receive a message to initiate establishment of a packet-switched (PS) bearer for the IMS session of the combined session.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CS domain device is further configured to a message to initiate establishment of a CS bearer for the CS session of the combined session.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IMS domain device is further configured to receive a SIP BYE message to initiate a release of the combined session.
