摘要: A method is described herein that enables data traffic to be routed seamlessly a mobile station which located in Second Generation/Third Generation (2G/3G) network and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). In one embodiment of the present invention, (MS) receives signal (e.g., System Information (SI) signal) from base system (BSS) informs MS it should check for presence or more WLANs. The then scans beacons are emitted Once, beacon WLAN can access WLAN. To WLAN, could send BSS informing possibly gateway GPRS service node (GGSN) has received Then, receive (or GGSN) contains information password, encrypted key) attached GGSN another common route via instead BSS.
