Abstract: A method and system for providing intelligent network control services in IP telephony, wherein the system includes a location manager and an IP telephony proxy server. The location manager includes an interface to a legacy telephony service control entity and the IP telephony proxy server includes an IP interface to the location manager. If the IP telephony proxy server requires intelligent network services, then the IP telephony proxy server sends an IP telephony session initiation request to the called party at the location manager. The location manager uses the information to query the legacy telephony service control entity for routing information. When the location manager receives a routing response from the service control entity, the location manager maps the response to an IP telephony session control message back to the IP telephony proxy server.

Abstract: An approach for processing voice calls over a packet switched network as to efficiently utilize the functionalities of a Voice Response Unit (VRU). According to one embodiment, a call originator, acting as a User Agent Client in accordance with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), issues messages to establish a first call-leg with the VRU. The VRU performs digit collection to obtain information to authenticate the call originator and to authorize the voice call. Based upon the issued messages from the call originator, the VRU establishes a second call-leg with the call terminator. The VRU is released from the voice call after binding the call-legs to connect the call originator to the call terminator.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for completing calls to mobile stations in a mobile radio communications network provides efficient routing of calls, reduced utilization of system resources, and consistent services to a mobile station wherever located. The invention includes a national home location register (HLR) with a wireless enhanced services platform (WESP) with integrated voice mail/audio response capability. Calls to and from mobile subscribers are delivered to the WESP. The WESP interacts with the national HLR to provide consistent mobile services as well as enhanced services such as information collection and validation prior to call completion. When a call to a mobile station is placed, the call is directed to the WESP which transmits the identity of the mobile station to the national HLR. The national HLR looks up the mobile station and obtains the identity of the serving mobile switching center/visitor location register (MSC/VLR) where the mobile station is actually located and a list of the features in effect for the mobile station. The list of features in effect is transmitted to the WESP which performs the functions necessary to implement the features. These functions include validation in conjunction with the national HLR if any features in effect require validation. The national HLR also sends a request for routing information to the serving MSC/VLR. The serving MSC/VLR returns a geographic routing number known as the temporary local directory number (TLDN). The call is then completed to the serving MSC/IVLR.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically selecting a destination gateway to complete a call over a path supported at least in part by an IP telephony network and a public switched telephone network. The method and system further provide for dynamically detecting available gateways, dynamically removing failed and/or unavailable gateways, and automatically recovering failed and/or unavailable gateways after a predetermined period of time. A method is also provided for detecting available destination gateways using a ping method, where a message is transmitted to a plurality of destination gateways on a one-by-one basis to ascertain the availability status of each destination gateway.
