Abstract

A method includes receiving internet protocol (IP) multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) session content that includes voice call content in IMS domain and multimedia content in IMS domain; translating the voice call content in IMS domain to voice call content in circuit switched (CS) domain; transmitting the voice call content in CS domain to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) via a CS domain entity and a radio access network (RAN); and transmitting the multimedia content in IMS domain to the WTRU via a PS domain entity and the RAN.

Claims (14)

1. A method for use in a system for supporting switched interworking, the method comprising:

receiving Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) session content that includes voice call content in IMS domain and multimedia content in IMS domain;

translating the voice call content in IMS domain to voice call content in circuit switched (CS) domain;

transmitting the voice call content in CS domain to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) via a CS domain entity and a radio access network (RAN); and

transmitting the multimedia content in IMS domain to the WTRU via a Packet Switched (PS) domain entity and the RAN.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice call content is transmitted to the WTRU via a network based on Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) or 3GPP2 Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice call content in IMS domain is in a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) format.

4. A system for supporting switched interworking, the system comprising:

a first network entity that receives IP multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) session content that includes voice call content in IMS domain and multimedia content in IMS domain, and translates the voice call content in IMS domain to voice call content in circuit switched (CS) domain; and

a second network entity that transmits the voice call content in CS domain to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) via a CS domain entity and a radio access network (RAN), and transmits the multimedia content in IMS domain to the WTRU via a PS domain entity and the RAN.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the voice call content is transmitted to the WTRU via a network based on Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) or 3GPP2 Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the voice call content in IMS domain is in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) format.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first network entity is a media gateway.

8. The system of claim 4 , wherein the second network entity is an IWF.
