Abstract
A call control system for controlling testing in a mobile switching center (MSC) comprises an interface and a processing system. The interface is configured to receive a test call from a test device to a tone card internal to the MSC. The processing system is configured to determine a primary route for routing the test call to the tone card for a first duration, generate first routing instructions indicating the primary route, after the first duration determine a secondary route for routing the test call to the tone card during a second duration, and generate second routing instructions indicating the secondary route.
Claims13
A call control system for controlling testing in a mobile switching center (MSC) and maintaining at least a single test call to the MSC for a duration of time, the call control system comprising:
- an interface configured to receive the single test call from a test device to a tone card internal to the MSC;
- and
- a processing system configured to determine a primary route for routing the single test call to the tone card during a first portion of the duration of time, and generate first routing instructions indicating the primary route;
- the processing system further configured to, after the first portion, determine a secondary route for routing the single test call to the tone card during a second portion of the duration of time, and generate second routing instructions indicating the secondary route.
A method of operating a call control system for controlling testing in a mobile switching center (MSC) and maintaining at least a single test call to the MSC for a duration of time, the method comprising:
- receiving the single test call from a test device to a tone card internal to the MSC;
- determining a primary route for routing the single test call to the tone card during a first portion of the duration of time;
- generating first routing instructions indicating the primary route;
- after the first portion, determining a secondary route for routing the single test call to the tone card during a second portion of the duration of time;
- and
- generating second routing instructions indicating the secondary route.
A storage medium readable by a processing system, having instructions stored thereon to maintain a single test call to a mobile switching center (MSC) for a duration of time, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing system, direct a call control system in the MSC to:
- receive the single test call from a test device to a tone card internal to the MSC, process the single test call to determine a primary route for routing the single test call to the tone card during a first portion of the duration of time, generate first routing instructions indicating the primary route, after the first portion determine a secondary route for routing the single test call to the tone card during a second portion of the duration of time, and generate second routing instructions indicating the secondary route.
