  • Access network selection method
    Patent number: 8331979
    Abstract: An access network selection method in a communications network having access networks is disclosed that includes notifying devices in calling-side and called-side networks of the identifiers of currently available access networks and user preferences; making a list of candidates for an access network to be assigned to the called-side terminal, and transmitting the list to the device in the calling-side network; determining an access network to be assigned to the calling-side terminal in response to reception of the list, and notifying the calling-side terminal of the determined access network; notifying the device in the called-side network of the type of the access network assigned to the calling-side terminal; and determining the access network to be assigned to the called-side terminal in response to reception of the signal of the type of the access network assigned to the calling-side terminal, and notifying the called-side terminal of the determined access network.

  • Network system using common channel signalling
    Publication number: 20050135337
    Abstract: A node is a signalling end point that handles a control signal of the common channel signalling system. Four IP-STPs are signalling transfer points that transfers the control signals. A node and four IP-STPs belong to a logical network A identified by a network identifier NI=0, and four IP-STPs belong to a logical network B identified by a network identifier NI=15. In the logical network A, only one signalling point code is allocated to the four IP-STPs. The control signal is transferred using the network identifier NI and signalling point code SPC.
