Abstract
A communication system comprises an IP network offering services to users and an IPT provider network providing call related functions to users. A control protocol message is received and analyzed by a respective serving entity in the IPT provider network. Depending on the analyzing result, call related functions are performed by the respective serving entity. Moreover, a received control protocol message is analyzed by the IP network and, depending on the analyzing result, services are executed by the IP network.
Claims71
A communication system comprising:
- an IP network offering services to users;
- and
- an IPT provider network providing call related functions to users and comprising serving entities which are arranged to receive a control protocol message, analyze the control protocol message, and, depending on the analyzing result, perform call related functions, wherein the IP network is arranged to receive a control protocol message, analyze the control protocol message and, depending on the analyzing result, execute services.
A method of communicating in a communication system which comprises an IP network offering services to users and an IPT provider network providing call related functions to users, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a control protocol message by a respective serving entity in the IPT provider network;
- analyzing the received control protocol message by the respective serving entity;
- depending on the analyzing result, performing call related functions by the respective serving entity;
- analyzing a received control protocol message by the IP network;
- and
- depending on the analyzing result, executing services by the IP network.
A serving entity in an IPT provider network providing call related functions to users and communicating with an IP network offering services to users, wherein said serving entity is arranged to receive a control protocol message, analyze the control protocol message, and, depending on the analyzing result, perform call related functions.
An IP network offering services to users and communicating with an IPT provider network providing call related functions to users, wherein said IP network is arranged to receive a control protocol message, analyze the control protocol message and, depending on the analyzing result, execute services.
