摘要:
A method of providing circuit-switched and packet-switched calls on a single network comprises receiving (301), at a local switch, a plurality of calls that are comprised of at least one packet-switched call and at least one circuit-switched call and determining (305) a measure of the plurality of calls. Based on the measure of the plurality of calls, a first set of resources (117), from a plurality of resources between the local switch and a network switch, is allocated to circuit-switched calls, and a second set of resources (121), from the plurality of resources between the local switch and the network switch, is allocated to packet-switched calls.
摘要:
A method of setting up calls over circuit-switched and packet-switched resources on a single network having the steps of receiving a request from a user for a call having one or more resources, and allocating the one or more resources among packet-switched, resources and circuit-switched resources associated with a communication network to set up the call. The call may be a multi-media call. Resources may be allocated based on one or more call characteristics that may be in a request for resources by the user.
