Abstract
A method of managing a call managed at any given time by a call controller, which method includes steps of: choosing an initial call controller managing said call, measuring the satisfaction of criteria during the call, deciding as a function of said measurement to change the call controller managing said call, and in the event of a decision to change, transmitting information relating to the call to the chosen call controller.
Claims24
A first telecommunication device that communicates with one or more other telecommunication devices connected by a telecommunication network, said first telecommunication device and at least some of said other telecommunication devices having call controllers that manage a call, wherein the call controller of said first telecommunication device comprises a mobility manager for negotiating with other call controllers, wherein negotiating with the other call controllers comprises, when said first telecommunication device is managing a call, said mobility manager of said first telecommunication device exchanging information relating to said call with a mobility manager of at least one of said other telecommunication devices in response to a determination that said first telecommunication device may not be suitable for managing said call, and deciding, in consideration of said negotiating, whether said call controller of said first telecommunication device or the call controller of said at least one other telecommunication device should manage said call at a given time, wherein said negotiating occurs at a time when said first telecommunication device might still be suitable for managing said call at said given time.
A method of managing a call, said call being managed at any given time by a call controller, the method comprises:
- choosing an initial call controller managing said call;
- measuring a satisfaction of criteria during management of said call by said initial call controller;
- in response to said measurement of satisfaction of said criteria by said initial call controller, initiating a negotiation amongst call controllers to determine which call controller should be chosen to manage said call;
- and
- in an event of a decision to change, transmitting information relating to the call to the chosen call controller,
- wherein said negotiating occurs at a time when said initial call controller might still be suitable for managing said call at said given time.
A first telecommunication device that communicates with one or more other telecommunication devices connected by a telecommunication network, said first telecommunication device and at least some of said other telecommunication devices having call controllers that manage a call, wherein the call controller of said first telecommunication device comprises a mobility manager for negotiating with the other call controllers, wherein negotiating with the other call controllers comprises, when said first telecommunication device is managing a call, said mobility manager of said first telecommunication device exchanging information relating to said call with the mobility manager of at least one of said other telecommunication devices in response to passage of a predetermined interval, and deciding, in consideration of said negotiating, whether said call controller of said first telecommunication device or the call controller of said at least one other telecommunication device should manage said call at a given time, wherein said negotiating occurs at a time when said first telecommunication device might still be suitable for managing said call at said given time.
A method of managing a call, said call being managed at any given time by a call controller, the method comprises:
- choosing an initial call controller managing said call;
- after management of said call by said initial call controller for a predetermined interval, evaluating said initial call controller and at least one other call controller in accordance with at least one criterion to determine which call controller should be chosen to manage said call;
- and
- in an event of a decision to change, transmitting information relating to the call to the chosen call controller,
- wherein said evaluating occurs at a time when said initial call controller might still be suitable for managing said call at said given time.
