Abstract: A system and method for receiving output signals from each receiver of multiple receivers, the output signals generated based on receipt of a same transmission; incrementing a count value associated with each receiver based on the output signals; and determining whether a fault in a receiver exists based on the associated count values of the receivers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for providing radio access in a communication system by inter-working between at least two packet-based networks, such as heterogeneous cellular networks including a cellular network and an Internet Protocol (IP)-based wireless data network. The method includes enabling a packet routing path across the cellular and wireless data networks to provide a quality of service metric and an indication for mobility information associated with a user of a mobile device. The method further comprises transferring the quality of service metric and the indication for mobility information on the packet routing path in response to a service request across the networks. To provide wireless radio access, an IP-based communication system may use a wireless router, such as a base station router (BSR) and an inter-working unit.
