Abstract: The invention relates to a method for localization and location-related connection of a mobile voice-over-IP subscriber to an emergency call station even when the subscriber is temporarily registered in the voice-over-IP network with an address of a location other than his home address (2). For this purpose, the voice-over-IP network comprises an address database which is either configured as a central or decentralized database and in which addresses are indexed with a location-related number. An address of the location of the subscriber is updated (3) by using the address range predefined in the address database and an emergency call is routed (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) to an associated emergency call station using the location-related number. The location-related number and data of the subscriber are then transmitted to the associated emergency call station (8, 9).

Abstract: Controlling setting-up a connection in a mobile communication system includes storing, in at least one subscriber database, subscriber-oriented data for a subscriber registered in a home mobile radio network, entering the subscriber-oriented data in a subscriber database when the subscriber moves, and setting-up a connection for the subscriber with a mobile station using a mobile switching center coupled to the subscriber database.

Abstract: A method of communication between communications networks in which different communication protocols are used and which are connected to each other by way of at least one intermediate node. In order to communicate easily between the networks, both the destination node and the start node are prompted to use a common communication protocol by the intermediate node in that this node transmits messages to the destination node and the start node upon reading destination node information from a data collection.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording charges in a communications network with a network node (account node 4) for managing at least one account of a communications subscriber (1) conducted as a credit account and with a network node (recording node 3) for recording the accrued charges. According to the invention, a portion of the account balance is specified as a charge limit. The recording node (3) compares the amount of the charges accrued during the communications connection with the charge limit, and an attainment message (ACR) is sent to the account node when the charges reach the charge limit. In order to also be able to record charges of considerably different amounts, exceed data is generated when the charges are based on an individual request that exceeds the amount of the charge limit, and an increased charge limit is established based on this exceed data.
