Abstract
A method for tunneling voice over the Internet Protocol (IP) in a cellular network. A Mobile Identification Number (MIN) of a non-IP-enabled handset is mapped to the IP address of a component of a cellular network in communication with that handset. A sub-index is assigned to the handset by the component, wherein the sub-index acts as an extension to the IP Address of the component, so that a non-IP-enabled handset can be correctly identified within the cellular network.
