Protocol for local routing of calls coming from the switched telephone network in a cellular network

In a system having a protocol for local routing of incoming calls which are generated by the telephone handset of a subscriber of the public switched telephone network in a cellular mobile telephone network, said telephone being interconnected to a unit for access to said cellular mobile telephone network, said unit comprising a switch for local access to the services of an integrated services digital network, said cellular mobile telephone network including at least one mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver complete with a telephone call number, for which the incoming call is intended, and a plurality of fixed radio terminals interconnected in clusters according to a tree structure to connecting units and to a mobile subscriber authentication center by dedicated digital transmission lines, said fixed radio terminals being equipped with cellular radio telephone transmission channels, with a personal communications service of said public switched telephone network and with a direct inward dialling function of the integrated services digital network, and each fixed radio terminal further being linked to a service access authentication center via a local service access switch, a service control point and a voice locating server, said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver further being equipped with means for access to a personal communications service of said public switched telephone network on the basis of an identification number and of a confidential code, said telephone call number, said identification number and said confidential code being attributed to said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver, a method comprising the steps of:

• implementing a procedure, from said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver, for locating/authenticating this transmitter/receiver, via said cellular mobile telephone network and said mobile subscriber authentication center, and, upon said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver being located and authenticated,
• forwarding, from said mobile subscriber authentication center to said fixed radio locating terminal, said personal communication service subscription data, identification number and confidential code of said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver;
• attributing to said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver, within said fixed radio terminal, a free direct inward dialling number, an attributed direct inward dialling number being thus associated with said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver;
• forwarding, from said locating terminal to said service access authentication center, via said voice locating server, said attributed direct inward dialling number, said identification number and said confidential code, an address of a fixed radio locating terminal associated with said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver being stored in memory within said service access authentication center, and, upon an incoming call for the telephone call number of said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver generated by said telephone handset of said public switched telephone network to said service control point;
• forwarding, from said service control point to said service access authentication center, an interrogation message including at least said telephone number of said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver;
• upon reception of said interrogation message, forwarding, to said fixed radio locating terminal, from said service access authentication center, via said service control point, a call message containing at least said direct inward dialling number attributed;
• from said fixed radio locating terminal, implementing a procedure of calling said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver, and, upon said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver responding;
• establishing communication with said telephone handset, thereby allowing the transaction between said telephone handset and said mobile subscriber transmitter/receiver to be confined only to a sub-network handled by a switch for local access to services of said integrated services digital network.
