Call control strategy for high capacity telecommunication services

摘要

A threshold-based call control facility is provided for use in a telecommunications network switch to control the processing of calls associated with so-called high capacity (HICAP) telecommunications services. In addition, a feature is provided for dynamically changing a respective threshold value at each network switch until the number of such calls reaching a respective destination switch, and hence an associated trunk group, reaches an optimum level, in which each such change in the value of the threshold is determined as a function of traffic data accumulated by the destination switch for the associated trunk group.
