The advanced intelligent network (AIN) to determine routing of voice calls alternatively between the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and a data packet network, such as the Internet, in accordance with the quality of service existing in the data packet network at the times of call origination. The user's acceptable level of service may be predefined with a threshold quality level stored in the user's Call Processing Record (CPR) in the AIN Integrated Services Control Point (ISCP). On a per call basis, the caller linked to a first public switched network may indicate a preference to route through the Internet. This indication is recognized by the AIN system, in response to which the quality of service currently present on the Internet for completion of the call is measured. If the result exceeds the stored threshold, the call is setup and routed through the Internet to the switched network link to the destination party. If the quality of service on the Internet is not satisfactory, the call is alternatively routed through the PSTN, which may include an Interexchange Carrier link. The AIN system automatically controls the alternative routing of such calls.

A system and method for managing wireless communications system resources. The system includes a first mechanism that determines currently available wireless communications system traffic resources and provides a signal in response thereto. A second mechanism de-allocates wireless communications system supplemental resources and reallocates the supplemental resources as traffic resources in response to the signal. In a specific embodiment, the currently available wireless communications system traffic resources include currently available traffic channels, and the supplemental resources include supplemental channels. The first mechanism includes a mechanism that compares a number of in-use traffic channels with a number of total traffic channels and provides the signal when the difference between the number of total traffic channels and the number of in-use traffic channels is less than a predetermined threshold. The first mechanism further includes a mechanism that monitors when a call handoff request and/or a call origination request is blocked at a base station transceiver subsystem call resource manager and provides the signal when the call is blocked. The second mechanism includes a mechanism for sending a message to a selector bank subsystem radio link manager, receiving a response from the selector bank subsystem radio link manager and de-allocating the supplemental resources.

A method of handling call origination for a mobile device in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of originating a service, establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection corresponding to the service, receiving a message from a network via the RRC connection, determining whether the network supports the service supported of a first service domain, according to the message and performing the service in a second service domain when the network does not support the service of the first service domain, whereby the RRC connection is not released by the mobile device.

A menu routing service routes calls made to a customer's toll-free number according to customized routing instructions, including instructions for routing calls originating in a non-domestic country. An international gateway receives a call to the toll-free number and populates a portion of a calling party number field with data indicating that the call originated in a non-domestic country. A network switch receives the call from the gateway based on at least an identification of a carrier associated with the toll-free number. A customized routing service platform receives the call and the non-domestic call origination data from the network switch. The platform determines a destination number based on the non-domestic call origination data and routing instructions received from a web server, accessible by the customer via a packet switched data network. The platform forwards the destination number to the network switch for routing the call to the destination number.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, apparatus and system for providing personal audio alert messages (PAAM) to a called party and a calling party during a call connection. In response to a call origination by the calling party, a PAAM database may be queried. One ore more personal audio alert message (PAAM) strings may be received from a database in response to the query. A first PAAM string, from the one or more PAAM strings identifying the called party to the calling party, may be returned. The call may be routed to the called party. A second PAAM string and a third PAAM string may be returned, from the one or more PAAM strings, to the called party in the routed call. The call is connected if the called party accepts the call.

Methods and systems of routing calls over a network are described herein. A latency measurement is performed for at least a plurality of portions of a plurality of network paths and storing latency measurement information in computer readable memory. A dropped packet measurement is performed for at least portions of the plurality of network paths and storing dropped packet measurement information in computer readable memory. A call origination request is received. A network routing path is selected from the plurality of network paths, the network paths including a call manager, based at least in part on the latency measurement information and the dropped packet measurement information. A proxy system associated with a SIP provider is informed of the call. The call manager in the selected network path generates the call.

In a CDMA wireless communication system (200) a dispatch call can be established between two CDMA mobile stations (202, 226), or between other mobile stations and the CDMA mobile station, or between a CDMA mobile station and a computer (236) located outside of the wireless system. To reduce the delay normally association with call set up in a CDMA system, a dispatch processing network (128, 144) is provided in addition to a telephony switch (118). Dispatch calls and call set up requests are routed to the dispatch processing network from the radio access network (110) which includes base stations (204, 206). Once a dispatch call request is made, while the dispatch processing network begins setting up a traffic channel for the originating mobile communication device, the target is also paged, and upon responding, set up on a traffic channel. The concurrence of establishing radio links with the target and originating communication devices substantially reduces dispatch call set up time.

A broadband address of a first subscriber is identified and communicated to a second subscriber in a first communication system using an SMS data enabled cellular system or call origination set up messaging. If authorization is given by the second subscriber, the broadband address of the second subscriber is delivered to the first subscriber by the first communication system, whereby the first and second subscribers have exchanged their respective broadband addresses over a first communications system where the broadband addresses are utilized for broadband communications over a second communication system.

A system and method for call origination by an application server in an internet protocol multimedia core network subsystem includes a first step of providing a public user identity for a user. A next step includes storing a service parameter in a service profile of the user, the service parameter indicating whether to allow/disallow the application server to initiate call requests on behalf of the public user identity. If the service parameter allows the application server to initiate call requests, the system unblocks calls originated by the application server on behalf of the user. If the service parameter disallows the application server to initiate call requests, the system blocks calls originated by the application server on behalf of the user.

A method in a 3G.IP network of routing a call from an originating subscriber in an originating network to a mobile terminating subscriber roaming in a visited network, the mobile terminating subscriber having a home network that maintains location information for the mobile terminating subscriber. When the originating subscriber sends a call origination message to a gatekeeper in the originating network, the gatekeeper obtains location information from the home network for the mobile terminating subscriber. An IP address of a media gateway in the visited network (MGW1) is then obtained and provided to a media gateway in the originating network (MGW2). The IP address of MGW2 is then sent to the originating subscriber. Thereafter, the call is routed from the originating subscriber through MGW2 in the originating network directly to MGW1 in the visited network. An MSC Server in the visited network then routes the call to the mobile terminating subscriber.

Toll-free calls are initiated using an alphanumeric call initiator (NAME) that is communicated to the network using a short message service (SMS), electronic mail message, a Worldwide Web interface or a voice connection to a voce recognition database. The NAME is translated to retrieve a directory number used to connect a calling party with the toll-free service subscriber. The directory number may be a toll-free number used to invoke incumbent translation services in the PSTN.

In the method, a packet call controller establishes a bearer path between the end point and the second network when a call transfer request associated with the mobile station is received from a network providing circuit switched communication. The call transfer request is triggered by a circuit voice call origination from the mobile station that includes an identifier that the packet call controller uses in recognizing that the call transfer request requests transfer of a packet switched call to a circuit switched call on the network.

A telephone network capable of handling directory assistance calls includes a switch, connection circuitry coupled between the switch and a directory assistance center, and call origination circuitry. In response to receipt of a incoming directory assistance call from the switch, the connection circuitry connects the incoming directory assistance call to the directory assistance center. Following receipt of a requested telephone number from the directory assistance center, the call origination circuitry originates an extension call to the requested telephone number on the public telephone network and transmits, in conjunction with the extension call, at least a billing identifier captured from the incoming directory assistance call. In this manner, the switch is able to automatically associate the extension call with the billing identifier captured from the incoming directory assistance call.

A method for handling call originations is provided. The method includes sending origination information from a mobile device to an application server in an enterprise network using Short Message Service (SMS) and determining whether a hotline feature is present in a subscriber profile associated with the mobile device. Data is then routed from the mobile device to a predetermined destination based on the hotline feature.

An improved decoding and processing system is provided for advanced determination and display of geographic information to a called party relating to the call origination party. The improved system comprises a receiving means to receive the calling number delivery (CND) message from a local central office (CO) switch or mobile station switching center; a microcontroller storage and retrieval device containing a data base library for selectively determining the corresponding geographic information such as city and/or state by matching the area code and/or local exchange number received from the call origination party; and a readout device for displaying the city and/or state of the incoming call. Preferably, the system includes capability to automatically update the data base library of the storage and retrieval device as new area codes and/or local exchanges are subsequently assigned. Accordingly, the improved system provides the user with convenient and efficient display of geographic information related to caller identification that is capable of determining an ever-increasing number of area code and local telephone exchange numbers.

A telephone call is originated in a reverse direction, i.e., from a called party to a calling party, using a packet switched network. According to one embodiment of the invention, a calling party located in a first country may wish to place a call to a party in a second country having cheaper telephone rates. To benefit from the cheaper telephone rates of the second country, the calling party sends a data message—via a packet switched network—to a service provider in the second country requesting reverse call origination. The request message may be sent to an electronic mailbox maintained by the service provider and located on a global computer network, such as the Internet. The service provider of the second country, upon receiving the message, dials the destination number of the called party supplied in the request message. After reaching the called party, the service provider of the second country dials the calling party and bridges the call between the two parties. The calls thus originate from and are billed at the lower telephone rates of the second country. In another embodiment of the present invention, a telephone call may originate from a service provider of a country having lower telephone rates even though the called and calling parties are located at other respective countries.

An apparatus and method for adaptively enabling a PTT communication with efficient resource allocation in a radio access network. After a user uses a mobile device to activate a PTT call, the mobile device checks the network condition before transmitting a PTT call origination request to a PTT server. The mobile device monitors the network condition by tracking the failure rate of prior network resource requests. If the failure rate is below a threshold, the PTT call origination request is sent to a network server before or at the same time with a quality-of-service (QoS) network resource request.

A method and system for reducing latency in initiation of a real-time data session between wireless communication stations. In order to initiate a session with one or more target parties, an originating station will send a voice call origination message to a network switch, providing in the origination message (i) a session-initiation feature code and (ii) a target code indicative of the one or more target parties. The switch will then detect the session-initiation feature code as an intelligent-network trigger and responsively signal to a service controller, which will in turn signal to a communication server. The communication server will then invite the originating station and each of the one or more target parties to participate in the session, setting up a conference leg with each and bridging the legs together to allow the session to proceed.

A system and method of providing call progress to a calling party is provided. A circuit-switched call origination message is received in a home legacy mobile station domain. The call origination message specifies a destination terminal device having a directory number assigned to the home legacy mobile station domain. A serving legacy mobile station domain in which the terminal device is registered is identified. The home legacy mobile station domain transmits to the serving legacy mobile station domain a call origination message. The home legacy mobile station domain receives from the serving legacy mobile station domain a first message that requests the home legacy mobile station domain to provide a call progress signal to the calling party. The home legacy mobile station domain provides a call progress signal to the exchange.
