Abstract
A method and system for re-establishing a connection from a PSAP or 911 call center to a terminal of a 911 caller who has subscribed to IN services, for example, after a terminal of a 911 caller has been disconnected from the PSAP or 911 call center. If the call is dropped, the PSAP or 911 call center can, manually, or automatically via the system of the present invention, dial or cause to be dialed, a pre-determined prefix prior to dialing the number of the terminal of the 911 caller. In a separate embodiment of the method and system of the present invention, a separate parameter is used in CAMEL IDP and ISUP IAM to indicate the calling party category to identify that the call is originating from a PSAP or 911 call center.

A method of establishing a connection from a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to a terminal subscribed to Intelligent Network (IN) services, comprising the steps of:
- receiving by the PSAP, a call report with the number of the terminal, wherein the number is a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN);
- assigning a separate calling party category to connect the call to the terminal collectively, the calling party category and MSISDN are referred to as “digits”);
- receiving the digits, via a Base Station (BS) and a Base Station Controller (BSC) in a Visiting Mobile Switching Center (V-MSC);
- analyzing, by the V-MSC, the calling party category and MSISDN;
- routing the call to the Gateway Mobile Switching Center (GMSC) used by the terminal without stripping or altering the calling party category or the MSISDN;
- performing, at the GMSC, B-number and SCCP analysis, wherein the global title “Routing Case” provides the Signaling Point (SP) of the HLR;
- sending, by the HLR, the MAP message “Send Routing Information” by Message Transport Part (MTP);
- receiving, by the GMSC, T-CSI data from HLR, wherein the T-CSI data indicates that CAMEL services are to be applied to mobile terminating calls and routing to the gsmSSF is invoked;
- sending a Service Key (SK) from HLR, and data for CAMEL, from gsmSSF to SCP to identify the service to be invoked in the SCP;
- sending, by the SCP, interrogations about a subscriber to a Service Data Point (SDP), to check if a call is allowed and, if so, for how long;
- and
- in an IN platform, addressing an A-number in such way that a Service Control Point (SCP) always allows the connection of a call with the PSAP calling party category in the call from the PSAP.
A system for establishing a connection from a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to a terminal subscribed to Intelligent Network (IN) services, comprising:
- means for receiving by the PSAP, a call report with the number of the terminal, wherein the number is a Mobile Station international Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN);
- means for assigning a separate calling party category to connect the call to the terminal (collectively, the calling party category and MSISDN are referred to as “digits”);
- means for receiving the digits, via a Base Station (BS) and a Base Station Controller (BSC) in a Visiting Mobile Switching Center (V-MSC);
- means for analyzing, by the V-MSC, the calling party category and MSISDN;
- means for routing the call to the Gateway Mobile Switching Center (GMSC) used by the terminal without stripping or altering the calling party category or the MSISDN;
- means for performing, at the GMSC, B-number and SCCP analysis, wherein the global title “Routing Case” provides the Signaling Point (SP) of the HLR;
- means for sending, by the HLR, the MAP message “Send Routing Information” by Message Transport Part (MTP);
- means for receiving, by the GMSC, T-CSI data from HLR, wherein the T-CSI data indicates that CAMEL services are to be applied to mobile terminating calls and routing to the gsmSSF is invoked;
- means for sending a Service Key (SK) from HLR, and data for CAMEL, from gsmSSF to SCP to identify the service to be invoked in the SCP;
- means for sending, by the SCP, interrogations about a subscriber to a Service Data Point (SDP), to check if a call is allowed and, if so, for how long;
- and
- means for, in an IN platform, addressing an A-number prefix in such way that a Service Control Point (SCP) always allows the connection of a call with the PSAP calling party category in the call from the PSAP.
