Abstract

The invention provides a method and system for allowing communication between a BSS and SGSN, each having an NS-VC table and utilizing a different mode of communication. For example, a BSS may utilize associating UDP with NSE and IP with NS-VC and the SGSN may utilize associating UDP with NS-VC and IP with NSE. The method and system provides for the construction of an NS-VC table correlating the NS-VC table of the BSS and SGSN. Therefore, the method and system provides for the conversion of a data packet having UDP associated with NS-VC and IP associated with NSE to UDP having association with NSE and IP having association with NS-VC and vice versa. An NS-VC table may be constructed from information provided from a negotiations procedure or normal communications. The constructed NS-VC table allows for communications between the mobile communications architecture and the packet switched architecture, without requiring compatible utilization of UDP and IP.
