Abstract

According to the invention, a power characteristic information concerning a power characteristic profile of a target terminal is transmitted to a base terminal, before transferring signaling of a connection set up from a base terminal to a target terminal. As a result of the connection set up signaling, a power characteristic request is transferred based on the power characteristic information.

Claims

1-9. -9. (canceled).

10. A method for controlling feature requests in packet-oriented communication systems, comprising:

sending a connection setup signal from an originating terminating device to a destination terminating device, said destination terminating device being characterized by a feature profile;

transmitting feature information to a profile receiving device, said feature information describing said feature profile;

creating a preliminary feature request;

comparing said preliminary feature request with said feature profile and generating a resultant feature request in accordance with said comparison; and

transmitting said resultant feature request.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein said resultant feature request and said preliminary feature request are substantially the same.

12. The method according to claim 10, wherein said resultant feature request and said preliminary feature request are substantially different.

13. The method according to claim 10, wherein said resultant feature request is transmitted with said connection setup signal.

14. The method according to claim 10, wherein transmission of the feature information is initiated by an information request signal.

15. The method according to claim 10, wherein transmission of the feature information is prompted by a multi-purpose signal.

16. The method according to claim 10, wherein the feature information is transmitted as part of an address resolving procedure.

17. The method according to claim 16, wherein the feature information is transmitted within an address information signal.

18. The method according to claim 10, wherein said resultant feature request is generated by said profile receiving device.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein said profile receiving device is said originating terminating device.

20. The method according to claim 10, wherein said profile receiving device includes a user interface adapted to produce said resultant feature request.

21. The method according to claim 10, wherein profile receiving device is a network, and said resultant feature request is generated via said network.

22. The method according to claim 10, wherein a connection setup signal is transmitted via communication system)conforming to. ITU-T recommendation H.323 or to the SIP standard of the IETF Forum.
