US Patent:

7020130, Mar 28, 2006

Filed:

Mar 12, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/800394

Inventors:

Joel M. Krause - Dallas TX, US
G. Lance Lockhart - McKinney TX, US
John L. Truetken - McKinney TX, US
Christopher A. Martin - Cedar Hill TX, US
Jeffery A. Haltom - Fishers IN, US

Assignee:

MCI, Inc. - Ashburn VA

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352, 370467

Abstract:

An approach is provided for supporting integrated voice and data services over a common Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) device. The device includes a network interface that receives a call from a calling party device to a called party device. Also, the device has signaling conversion logic configured to convert between Session Initation Protocol (SIP) signaling and circuit-switched telephony signaling to support the call, wherein addressing information of the calling party device is preserved in the conversion. The called party device includes one of a telephone station and a SIP client. The device further includes a voice port coupled to the signaling conversion logic and configured to communicate selectively with the telephone station; and a data port configured to communicate selectively with the SIP client.

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370354, 370355, 370356, 379 8817

Abstract:

An approach is described for providing shared trunking between a telephony gateway and an end office switch. The telephony gateway processes a packetized voice call, and interfaces a shared trunk to an end office switch (e. g. , Class 5 switch) configured to switch calls over a circuit-switched telephone network. The trunk utilizes out-of-band signaling (e. g. , Primary Rate Interface (PRI) signaling) in support of call establishment or teardown of the packetized voice call.
