Benefits of technology

"The invention is a communication system that works with a TDM system and an SS7 system to exchange calls and messages for system maintenance. The system includes a signaling interface, a call processing platform, an interworking unit, and a communication device. The system can process call information and transfer control messages to interwork between TDM and packet communications on a call-by-call basis. The technical effect of this invention is to improve the efficiency and reliability of communication networks by integrating TDM and packet communications and facilitating system maintenance."

Problems solved by technology

The combination of the signaling processor and the switching matrix in the switch is problematic.
Additional cost and complexity are added by the matrix.

Embodiment Construction

[0059]FIG. 1 depicts a version of the invention. Shown are signaling processor 100, communications device 110, and communications device 112. Communications device 110 is connected to communications device 112 over connection 130. Communications device 112 is connected to other communications devices (not shown) over connections 131, 132, and 133. Signaling processor 100 is linked to communications device 110 over link 140 and is linked to communications device 112 over link 141. Signaling processor 100 is linked to other communications devices (not shown) over link 142.

[0060] Communications device 110 could be any device that facilitates communications through telecommunications signaling. Examples would include switches, service platforms, and customer premises equipment (CPE). Examples of switches are the Nortel DMS-250 and the Lucent 5ESS. Examples of service platforms are voice response units and host computers that deliver services, such as voice messaging or the use of calli...

Abstract

A signaling interface exchanges call-associated and non-call-associated SS7 messages with an SS7 system. The signaling interface transfers call information from the call-associated SS7 messages, and processes maintenance information from the non-call associated SS7 messages to perform system maintenance. A call processing platform processes the call information on a call-by-call basis to identify interworking information to route the calls and transfers control messages indicating the interworking information. An interworking unit receives the control messages and interworks between TDM communications for the calls and packet communications for the calls by placing the interworking information in headers of the packet communications on a call-by-call basis. A communication device routes the packet communications for the calls based on the interworking information in the headers.
