  • Methods and apparatuses for integration of broadcast transmission with access infrastructure of a public network for mobile communications
    Patent number: 7962093
    Abstract: A telecommunications network for mobile users includes a user subsystem and a transport subsystem connected to an access subsystem. The access subsystem provides a user access communications interface and a transport access communications interface for exchange of information among the subsystems. The access subsystem is identified with a coverage area of the cellular telecommunication network. The access subsystem is associated with interconnection means in order to receive second information signals broadcast from one or more geostationary satellites and send them via the telecommunications network for mobile users to users located within the coverage area of the mobile telecommunications network.
    Type: Grant

  • Mobile communications network method and apparatuses
    Publication number: 20040192198
    Abstract: A telecommunications network for mobile users (UNET), said telecommunications network for mobile users comprising a user's subsystem (STU) and a transport subsystem (STT) connected by means of an access subsystem (STA), which offers them respectively a user access communications interface (Uu) and a transport access communications interface (Iu), suitable to permit the exchange of the information flows (TS) among said subsystems, said access subsystem (STA) identifying a coverage area of the cellular telephone network. According to the invention, said access subsystem (AST) is associated with interconnection means (GSB, NGS) in order to receive second flows of information (BS) broadcast from one or more geostationary satellites (GS) and send them via the telecommunications network for mobile users (UNET), said means of interconnection (GSB, NGS) being located within the coverage area of said mobile telecommunications network (UNET).
