US 2002/0172344 A1 · Controlling connection processing

Abstract

A method, telecommunication system and a network node for controlling processing of a connection, particularly when information necessary for the controlling is available at an early stage. At least one processing instance is formed for the connection to control event processing of the control. The processing instance is also associated with a functional connection to at least one control function of the telecommunication system, the control function giving instructions related to processing the connection in response to requesting the instructions. In the processing instance are defined at least one interactive event of a delayed request, in which interactive event instructions from the processing instance are requested (207) and, after requesting, processing the connection is continued (208), and at least one interactive event of a delayed response, in which interactive event the instructions requested in the interactive event of the delayed request from the control function are processed (211).

Claims19

Dependent claims

A method of controlling processing of a connection in a telecommunication network, the method comprising:

forming at least one processing instance for the connection by means of which event processing of the connection is controlled, the processing instance being associated with a functional connection to at least one control function of the telecommunication network, the control function giving instructions for processing the connection in response to requesting instructions;
defining in the processing instance at least one interactive event of a delayed request in which instructions are requested from the control function and, after requesting, the processing of the connection is continued;
and
defining in the processing instance at least one interactive event of a delayed response in which the instructions requested from the control function in the interactive event of the delayed request are processed.

A telecommunication system comprising

at least one control function that gives instructions related to processing a connection;
at least one network node for processing the connection, the network node being arranged to form for the connection at least one processing instance that comprises at least two interactive events wherein the network node can interact with the control function,
whereinat least one of the interactive events of the processing instance is the interactive event of a delayed request, and encountering the interactive event of the delayed request results in requesting instructions from the control function, and at least one of the interactive events of the processing instance is the interactive event of a delayed response, and encountering the interactive event of the delayed response results in processing the requested instructions in the interactive event of the delayed request, and
the network node is arranged, in response to encountering the interactive event of the delayed request, to request instructions from the control function and, after requesting, to continue processing the connection.
