Benefits of technology

This solution provides users with uninterrupted access to multimedia content across various networks, offering flexible quality of service choices and reducing infrastructure costs by leveraging existing broadband infrastructure, thus enhancing user experience and competitiveness for service providers.

Problems solved by technology

One major common problem faced by cellular and landline service providers is market competition.
Although the formation of alliances and partnerships between cellular service providers and landline service providers may help to ward off competition, such alliances and partnerships are faced with other problems.
For example, the erection of cellular infrastructure such as cellular towers may be an expensive venture since this may require acquisition of real estate, whether in the form of outright purchases or through leasing.
Cellular infrastructure also requires the establishment of one or more expensive backbone links to handle core network traffic.
Another cellular-related problem is that the cellular signals do not penetrate and propagate in buildings such as homes and offices very well.
Users of access devices served by wireless wide area networks may wish to access multimedia information that requires a larger amount of bandwidth than the wireless wide area network is able to provide, or for which the cost is such that the user is unwilling to pay for access.
The quality of service that a user of such a device may experience is limited by that provided by the operator of the wireless wide area network, subject to the user's willingness to pay for service.
In addition, even though a user may migrate within coverage of other, more capable or less expensive providers of bandwidth, the user is limited to the capabilities set at the initiation of the original wireless wide area communication session, and must initiate a new communication session with the new communication facility.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Aspects of the present invention relate to communication over hybrid wired and wireless networks. More specifically, certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system supporting the consumption of simulcasted and multicasted multimedia information content in a personal area network (PAN), a wireless wide area network (WAN), and a wireless local area network (WLAN) via a broadband access gateway.

[0021]An aspect of the invention provides seamless merging of wide area networks (WANs), from any kind of wired and / or wireless wide area networks, to pockets of wired and / or wireless local area networks (WLANs) and personal area network (PANs), which may be located in homes or other environment such as an office or business. The merging of these various types of networks enables transparent communication of all types of media between access devices, which may be wired or wirelessly coupled to one or more of these networks. Seamless communication may be provided...

Abstract

A method and system for the consumption of simulcasted or multicasted multimedia information via a wireless personal or local area network by a broadband access gateway, is disclosed. A user of an access device such as, for example, a mobile multimedia handset may engage in a call served by a wireless wide area network, and may consume components of multimedia information via the wireless wide area network. Additional components of the multimedia information may be provided to the user via a second communication path, based upon user-defined parameters in a user profile. Selected components or all of the multimedia information may be communicated to a broadband access gateway, where it may be cached, or simulcast to a plurality of access devices in a wired fashion, or wirelessly via a personal area and / or wireless local area network.
