Claims13
An apparatus for providing enhanced features for advanced voice services in a wireless network, comprising:
- a wireless communications network for making calls to and from mobile units, wherein the calls are initiated by call setup and in-band signaling within the wireless communications network and voice frames for the calls are switched between the mobile units across bearer paths in the wireless communications network;
- and
- a real-time exchange that interfaces to the wireless communications network to provide advanced voice services therein;
- wherein both the real-time exchange and the mobile units that use the advanced voice services communicate with each other using the call setup and in-band signaling within the wireless communications network and the real-time exchange switches the voice frames for the advanced voice services for the mobile units;
- and
- wherein the enhanced features comprise location-based services (LBS) for enhancing the calls to and from the mobile units.

- and
- a real-time exchange that interfaces to the wireless communications network to provide advanced voice services therein;
- wherein both the real-time exchange and the mobile units that use the advanced voice services communicate with each other using the call setup and in-band signaling within the wireless communications network and the real-time exchange switches the voice frames for the advanced voice services for the mobile units;
- and
- wherein the enhanced features comprise voice recognition services for enhancing the calls to and from the mobile units.
