Mobility middleware architecture for multiple radio access technology apparatus
A multiple radio access technology (RAT) apparatus with mobility middleware provides a user with access to various RAT networks, such as a frequency division duplex (FDD) network and a wireless local area network (WLAN). In one embodiment, the apparatus is a dual mode FDD/WLAN converged wireless communication handset which includes a terminal equipment (TE) module having mobility middleware, an applications and protocols processor and a terminal interface (TI). The dual mode FDD/WLAN converged wireless communication handset further includes a user services identity module (USIM), a mobile termination (MT) module and a protocol stack which interface with the mobility middleware via a plurality of links. In another embodiment, the multi-RAT apparatus is terminal equipment which includes a mobility middleware core module, a mobility middleware communication module, a driver and an insertably removable wireless communication device for providing a multiple radio transport medium to applications running in the terminal equipment.
