SYSTEM, APPARAT OG FREMGANGSMÅDE TIL ETABLERING AF KREDSLØBSKOBLET KOMMUNIKATION VED HJÆLP AF PAKKEKOBLET NETVÆRKSSIGNALERING

摘要

A system, apparatus and method for establishing circuit-switched (CS) communications in packet-switched (PS) multimedia networks such as IMS, and providing services via the PS networks to CS domain users. A dialog is established between terminals through the PS multimedia network. A service is provided to at least one of the terminals by way of the dialog. CS bearer information, including an indication that a communication flow is requested via a CS network, is communicated between the terminals by way of the dialog. A communication flow via the CS network is effected between the terminals as directed by the CS bearer information. IMS or other PS multimedia network services can thus be provided to users otherwise communicating via the CS-domain.
