Abstract
A wireless gateway disposed in a subscriber domain detects presence of a communication device communicating in a vicinity of the subscriber domain over a first wireless communication link such as a wireless cellular phone link. In response to detecting the communication device in the subscriber domain, the wireless gateway provides notification of a presence of the wireless gateway hardware to the communication device. The wireless gateway participates in establishing a second wireless communication link between the communication device and the wireless gateway to facilitate a handoff of a communication session from the first wireless communication link to the second wireless communication link.
