Abstract
An access point for communicating with mobile stations in an integrated wireless network. The access point comprises a first transceiver for communicating with selected mobile stations within a short distance of the access point and an input/output interface that couples the access point to an external mobile station via a communication bus. The externally coupled mobile station communicates with a first base station in a wireless public network. The access point further comprises a data processor that communicates with the externally coupled mobile station via the input/output interface and interconnection circuitry that transfers data traffic between the first transceiver and the data processor. The access point enables the selected mobile stations to communicate with the first base station via the externally coupled mobile station.
