  • Method for internal communication in a telecommunications system
    Patent number: 6282202
    Abstract: In traffic processes in a telecommunication system there is internal communication between service controlling entities which may belong to logical nodes in the same or different applications. Such a service controlling entity may be a service process controlling a service for a party of a call. The communication between the service controlling entities is controlled by rules given in a generic protocol. These rules imply lack of messages and use only of protocol parameters in the form of indivisible information transmission elements. Based upon the generic protocol, service protocols are specified, each corresponding to its service, and a protocol managing entity within an application handling the protocol management of a certain service according to the service protocol. The information elements are distributed by a communication service having a parameter distribution function for the protocol parameters, by transferring data between the protocol managing entities.

  • Modular application software for telecommunications exchanges for providing all end user services traffic handling and charging requirements of an applications type
    Patent number: 5960004
    Abstract: A software architecture for use in program controlled telecommunications switching exchanges in which application modules are employed to provide services to users of a particular communications application. Resource modules provide specific functional elements of communications services to the application modules by having access to and control over the exchange hardware. Network protocols provide communication between the application modules within the exchange and interfaces provide communications between the resource modules and between application modules and resource modules within the exchange.
