Abstract

The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for carrying out a wireless call at a small base station via one of multiple available phones, which may include a fixed phone and a cellular phone. For instance, some example methods described in the present disclosure may include establishing communication with a cellular phone and a fixed phone and transmitting a connection command message to each of the cellular phone and the fixed phone commanding the cellular phone and fixed phone to establish a communicative connection. Furthermore, such example methods may include receiving a cellular phone call indication message from a network indicating the existence of an incoming call request for the cellular phone, transmitting a paging message associated with the incoming call request to the cellular phone, and executing a voice call, wherein the call is conducted by one of either the cellular phone and the fixed phone.
