1. A method for controlling a conference circuit between terminal devices in a packet-oriented communication network, comprising:
- transmitting circuit-oriented conference control signaling via a packet-oriented transport protocol between a first terminal device and a communication server of the packet-oriented communication network; and
initiating setup of packet-oriented media channels between the terminal devices and a packet-oriented conference mixing device by the communication server depending on the conference control signaling.

Abstract
To control a conference circuit between multiple terminal devices in a packet-oriented communication network, circuit-oriented conference control signaling is transmitted via a packet-oriented transport protocol between a first terminal device and a communication server of the communication network. Setting up of packet-oriented media channels between the terminal devices and a packet-oriented conference mixing device is initiated by the communication server depending on the conference control signaling.

8. A communication server for controlling a conference circuit between terminal devices, including a first terminal device, in a packet-oriented communication network having a network interface and a packet-oriented conference mixing device, based on a packet-oriented transport protocol for connecting to the packet-oriented communication network, said communication server comprising:
-
a circuit-oriented conference module, coupled to the packet-oriented communication network, to process circuit-oriented conference control signaling to be transmitted via the transport protocol between said communication server and the first terminal device, and a switching control unit to initiate setup of packet-oriented media channels between the terminal devices and the packet-oriented conference mixing device of the packet-oriented communication network depending on the conference control signaling. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
