Abstract
A mobile switching center platform includes a circuit-switched switch to establish circuit-switched communications sessions on behalf of at least one wireless terminal. The mobile switching platform further includes interfaces having functionalities defined by an architecture that provides packet-switched multimedia subscriber services, wherein at least one of the interfaces is to enable the mobile switching center platform to communicate with a packet-switched subscriber access network through which the mobile switching center platform establishes packet-switched communications sessions with at least one terminal device.
Claims27
A mobile switching center platform, comprising:
- a circuit-switched switch to establish circuit-switched communications sessions on behalf of at least one wireless terminal;
- and
- interfaces having functionalities defined by an architecture that provides packet-switched multimedia subscriber services, wherein at least one of the interfaces is to enable the mobile switching center platform to communicate with a packet-switched subscriber access network for establishing packet-switched communications sessions.
An article comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that upon execution by at least one processor cause a mobile switching center platform to:
- provide circuit-switched services on behalf of wireless user terminals;
- provide at least one interface to communicate with a packet-switched subscriber access network for establishing a packet-switched communications session, wherein the at least one interface has a functionality defined by a packet-switched multimedia services architecture;
- and
- provide a function to perform tasks defined by the packet-switched multimedia services architecture.
A method comprising:
- providing, by a mobile switching center platform, circuit-switched services on behalf of wireless user terminals;
- providing, by the mobile switching center platform, at least one interface to communicate with a packet-switched subscriber access network for establishing a packet-switched communications session, wherein the at least one interface has a functionality defined by a packet-switched multimedia services architecture;
- and
- providing, by the mobile switching center platform, a function to perform tasks defined by the packet-switched multimedia services architecture.
