| 1. A method for assigning a voice bearer channel for a mobile station (MS) to access voice bearer services hosted by a first
radio access network via an unlicensed mobile access network (UMAN) comprising a second radio access network, the method comprising:
establishing a wireless local area network (WLAN) link between the MS and a wireless access point (AP);
establishing a dedicated connection between the MS and a UMA network controller (UNC) communicatively coupled to the AP; and
sending a plurality of URR (UMA Radio Resource) channel activation messages between the MS and the UNC to assign the voice
bearer channel, the URR channel activation messages including a URR ACTIVATE CHANNEL message sent from the UNC to the MS to
initiate assignment of the voice bearer channel,
wherein each of the URR channel activation messages includes a set of basic information elements (IEs) including,
a protocol discriminator;
a skip indicator; and
a message type via which the message may be identified;
and wherein the URR ACTIVATE CHANNEL message further includes,
a Channel Mode IE, including information specifying a channel mode to be used for the voice bearer channel.
