DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT OF SERVICES IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A device and system provide a simplified way to manage and use services produced in a first communication network for use in a second communication network. A signal proxy mechanism is disposed within a communication link between the first communication network and the second communication network. The signal proxy mechanism receives a signal message from the first communication network, where the signal message is formatted in a standard joint protocol. The signal proxy mechanism then converts the content of the signal message into a protocol that is native to a second protocol to which an outgoing message is sent from the signal proxy mechanism. Accordingly the second communication network need not perform a translation of the signal message it receives.
