Abstract
A method for Integration of a packet-oriented network in a communication system has at least one central communication device embodied with an application interface for exchange of communication data with a computer system, with a number of communication control processors assigned to the packet-oriented network for implementation of decentralized signaling and user data services, with a gateway for bilateral exchange of signaling and user data of the central communication device and of data exchanged by the decentralized signaling and user data services. In a control processor in this case communication data of the application interface and status information that can be processed for the communication control processors is bilaterally exchanged.

A method for integration of a packet-oriented network in a communication system, comprising:
- exchanging centralized signaling and service data through a central communication device;
- exchanging communication data between an application interface of the central communication device and a packet-oriented data communication system that is not a public switched telecommunications network;
- assigning a plurality of communication control servers to the packet-oriented network, the communication control servers including at least one signaling and payload servers and including at least one exchange server;
- implementing decentralized signaling and payload services through the at least one signaling and payload server by communicating decentralized signaling and payload;
- using a gateway for bilateral exchange of the centralized signaling and payload and the decentralized signaling and payload;
- and
- bilaterally converting the communication data between the application interface and the packet-oriented network, the communication data being bilaterally converted with the at least one exchange server.
A system to integrate a packet-oriented network in a communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of communication control servers assigned to the packet-oriented network to implement decentralized signaling and payload services and exchange decentralized signaling and payload, the communication control servers including at least one exchange server to exchange communication data;
- a central communication device comprising:
- at least one interface to communicate centralized signaling and payload;
- and
- an application interface to exchange communication data with a computer system via the exchange server assigned to the packet-oriented network;
- and
- a gateway to bilaterally convert the centralized signaling and payload and the decentralized signaling and payload.
