  • Publication number: 20020191551
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system for ensuring successful setup of calls in a telephone exchange system comprising a local exchange (LE), an access node (AN) and a concentrating V5 interface (V5) connecting the access node (AN) to the local exchange (LE). In the method, the concentrating interface (V5) is divided into two or more parts.

  • Patent number: 6370243
    Abstract: In a telecommunication system comprising a telephone exchange (LE), an access node (AN) connected to the telephone exchange via a standard V5 interface and a data network (DN), a procedure for setting up a direct data connection between the access node and the data network from a terminal device. According to the invention, a data network subscriber is created in the access node (AN), and when the data network subscriber starts call setup, this is not signalled to the local exchange (LE) according to the normal V5 practice. The data network subscriber's call setup request is handled locally in the access node, where also a dial tone is generated for the data network subscriber. A data connection between the data network subscriber and the data network is set up directly from the access node on the basis of the dialing given by the data network subscriber.

  • Patent number: 6324281
    Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for the processing of an unexpected disconnect request in an access node (AN) which is connected to a local exchange (LE) over a V5 interface. In the access node (AN), call setdown is effected by means of a disconnect message, which is sent from the local exchange (LE) and on the basis of which the call resources in the local exchange (LE) are released. According to the invention, the resources reserved in the access node (AN) for the call are preserved. Moreover, the local exchange (LE) is informed that the subscriber is busy, thus preventing the occurrence of an undefined condition between the local exchange (LE) and the access node (AN).

  • Patent number: 6073008
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for accomplishing a register recall from a subscriber unit of a radio system providing a wireless local loop, the radio system comprising a subscriber network element and base stations to transmit telecommunication signals between the subscriber units and a public switched telephone network. To obtain a register recall in a simple and fast manner, a register recall frame is transmitted from the subscriber unit in a conversion state of the unit to the subscriber network element, a message is awaited from the subscriber network element about receiving the frame, and diallings input from a user interface of the subscriber unit are transmitted on a speech path via the subscriber network unit to the public switched telephone network. The invention also relates to a subscriber unit and a subscriber network element.

  • Patent number: 5970415
    Abstract: A method and a subscriber unit and a subscriber network element, in a radio system provided with a wireless local loop, for handling a collision of an outgoing call from the subscriber unit and a terminating call at the subscriber unit. When the collision is detected, the switching of the outgoing call is interrupted, a release frame is transmitted to the subscriber unit, a busy tone is transmitted from the subscriber unit to a subscriber in response to the release frame, a calling is transmitted to the subscriber unit, and the terminating call is switched to the subscriber unit after responding to the calling.

  • Patent number: 5848138
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting tariff data via radio-frequency signals to a chargeable subscriber unit (1) communicating with a telecommunication network (7). In order to charge the user of the subscriber unit as fairly as possible, a tariff frame corresponding to a lump sum is transmitted to the subscriber unit (1), charge-metering signals received from the telecommunication network (7) are counted, and when the monetary value corresponding to the number of the counted charge-metering signals exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a new tariff frame corresponding to a lump sum is transmitted to the subscriber unit (1). The invention also relates to a system where the method according to the invention can be applied.
