Service provision in a telecommunications network

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for service provision in a telecommunications network, specifically in an intelligent network. In accordance with the method, service programs (SLP) are stored in at least one network element of the network and service is provided by starting a service program executing the desired service logic. In order that the service logic needed by the subscriber may be distinguished more clearly than heretofore from the remaining service logic and thereby new services may be implemented faster than heretofore, the service programs of the networks element are implemented in such a way that (a) a dedicated messaging block (TB) is formed for each individual message type to be sent from the service program to the network and sending of messages of different types to the network is implemented by means of the messaging blocks, and (b) after the messaging block and generic halt state block (HSB) is used in the service logic to receive a message arriving from the network each time the type of the message sent by the messaging block is such that a response message of a given type is received to it in the case of faultless operation.
