Abstract
A message conversion system comprising a first interface configured to receive a call signaling message for a call in a first format wherein the call signaling message includes a plurality of call information elements, a processing system configured to copy the plurality of call information elements from the call signaling message, insert a first group of the plurality of call information elements into a first group of a plurality of fields of a setup message, and insert a second group of the plurality of call information elements into a second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message, and a second interface configured to transmit the setup message.
Claims21
A method of operating a message conversion system, the method comprising:
- receiving a call signaling message for a call in a first format into a first interface wherein the call signaling message includes a plurality of call information elements;
- copying the plurality of call information elements from the call signaling message;
- inserting a first group of the plurality of call information elements into a first group of a plurality of fields of a setup message wherein the first group of the plurality of call information elements correspond to the first group of the plurality of fields of the setup message;
- inserting a second group of the plurality of call information elements into a second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message wherein the second group of the plurality of call information elements do not correspond to the second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message;
- and
- transmitting the setup message from a second interface.
A message conversion system comprising:
- a first interface configured to receive a call signaling message for a call in a first format wherein the call signaling message includes a plurality of call information elements;
- a processing system configured to copy the plurality of call information elements from the call signaling message, insert a first group of the plurality of call information elements into a first group of a plurality of fields of a setup message wherein the first group of the plurality of call information elements corresponds to the first group of the plurality of fields of the setup message, and insert a second group of the plurality of call information elements into a second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message wherein the second group of the plurality of call information elements does not correspond to the second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message;
- and
- a second interface configured to transmit the setup message.
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for operating a processing system, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to:
- receive a call signaling message for a call in a first format wherein the call signaling message includes a plurality of call information elements, copy the plurality of call information elements from the call signaling message, insert a first group of the plurality of call information elements into a first group of a plurality of fields of a setup message wherein the first group of the plurality of call information elements corresponds to the first group of the plurality of fields of the setup message, insert a second group of the plurality of call information elements into a second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message wherein the second group of the plurality of call information elements does not correspond to the second group of the plurality of fields of the setup message, and transmit the setup message.
