摘要:
A one-number communications system (100) enables completion of calls to designated terminals by use of a single telephone number. The system includes a local wireline switch (120) and a local wireless switch (130) coupled to respective terminals (104, 106, 114, 116). A switched telephone network (140) is coupled between the switches and defines a combined switching arrangement for directing and completing calls to and from the terminals upon receiving routing instructions. A database management system (210) is coupled to a data signaling network (162) and is accessible to the switches. The management system includes a telephone number (180) assigned for use by the subscriber and routing instructions assigned to the telephone number (152, 154). The wireline switch sends a request for routing instructions from the management system for completing the call to the telephone number. The management system sends a response message to the wireline switch containing the routing instructions for completing the call to at least one of the terminals.

The telecommunications networks of the present invention include a wireless enhanced service platform (112) which is coupled to a home location register database (110) and a prepaid platform (116). The telecommunications networks of the present invention may also include a mobile switching center (108) for accepting calls from a wireless handset (106), an interexchange network (114) that carries calls to the prepaid platform (116), and a local network (118) for terminating calls. The present invention also includes a method for setting up a call in a telecommunications network comprising sending transaction capabilities application part messages containing prepaid parameters between a wireless enhanced service platform (112) and a prepaid platform (116), and a method for sending transaction capabilities application part messages containing prepaid parameters between a mobile switching center (108) and a prepaid platform (116). The prepaid parameters are the information needed to process and bill a debit call.
