The invention relates to a method for improving monitoring measures in telecommunication and data networks (typically IP-based networks with an Internet and Intranet connection). Improved technological developments nowadays result in packet-oriented mobile radio networks (GSM/GPRS, UMTS etc.) and an increased number of Internet connections via a fixed network offering cost-optimised Internet access by means of flat rates or always on packages .Since an insufficient number of public Internet addresses is available, said addresses must be multiplied by means of port sharing (PAT), timesharing (NAT), applications-sharing (Proxy) or other methods. When an address is transformed at the boundary of the network (AN) the external addressing parameters are not, however, available inside the network-internal communication protocols, whereby monitoring measures can only be carried out in a limited manner via the network boundaries. According to the invention, this problem is solved by incorporating the converting devices into the monitoring measure by means of selectively used technical creations and the dynamic addressing parameters are stored along with the added time and date, thereby making it possible to request information in a current/posterior mode beyond network boundaries (Internet etc.) in accordance with the Law. The inventive solution is economical and does not hinder performance. |

The invention relates to a method of setting up a connection between a first point within a circuit switched network and a second point within a packet switched network, wherein data is routed in the circuit switched network using signalling information and data is routed in the packet switched network using data network addresses. A translation table containing signalling information for a set of unique connections within the circuit switched network and respective data network addresses in the packet switched network is provided. For a connection initiated from said first point to said second point using signalling information, the signalling information is converted to a data network address using said translation table, and for a connection initiated from the second point to the first point using a data network address, the data network address is converted into signalling information using the translation table. The invention relates also to a telecommunication system and a signalling server for the same purpose. |

The present invention relates generally to telecommunications, and more specifically, to a system and method of managing telecommunication connections. In telephony, the set up, maintenance and tear down of communications is implemented in a very inflexible and predetermined manner which impedes the addition of new features. The Internet is generally used as a simple transport network that is insensitive to performance requirements and therefore is a hindrance to high bandwidth services. The invention provides a system for managing connections which employs a proxy for each entity in the communication including each user and each telecommunication network. This allows a communication to be established with consideration for the resources available to each entity, in their respective limitations. This allows new services to be implemented over multiple networks, with the assurance that the necessary bandwidth and other resources will be available. |

A "Local Number Portability (LNP) intelligent Signal Transfer Point (STP)" which can perform a Local Number Portability (LNP) query towards a Service Control Point (SCP) and modify the incoming Initial Address Message (IAM) with the Location Routing Number (LRN) and the Ported Dialed Number (PDN), and indicate, using the Forward Call Indicator (FCI) (M-bit), whether the number has been translated. This advantageously allows non-Advanced Intelligent Network capable Service Switching Points (SSPs) (but Integrated Services Digital Network User Part, or ISUP, capable SSPs) to support Local Number Portability (LNP) without having to upgrade the SSPs. In addition, the LNP intelligent STP system provides AIN-capable SSPs with an alternative means of LNP, which reduces both the internal switching processes and the cost for the LNP query transactions. |

In order to address signaling messages in a signaling network, many service logics use the geographical call numbers of the partner participating in this service. This method of addressing presents a problem when call number portability is introduced to the network, as individual (partner) call numbers can then be taken from the call number area allocated to one signaling terminal and be allocated to another signaling terminal. The invention discloses a method which resolves the above-mentioned problem. |
