Representation of boolean expressions for specifying filters using xml
First Claim
1. A method for filtering incoming messages at a connection controlling element of a mobile radio network based on predetermined filter conditions, comprising:
- comparing text elements in a documents accessible to the connection controlling element and including the filter conditions as text elements with text elements in an incoming message or with particular status information determined by the connection controlling element; and
checking whether logical linkages of filter conditions also specified in the document in an internet page description language apply to the message.

Abstract
A simplified evaluation of messages that control connection setup is made possible by a method for filtering (4) incoming messages (3) at a connection controlling element (5) of a telecommunications network (13, 14, 5) on the basis of predetermined filtering conditions (8). According to this method, the filtering (4) ensues by comparing (4) text elements (20 to 29) in a received (6) message (3) with text elements (20 to 29) in a document (8), which can be accessed (7) by the connection controlling element (5) and which contains the filtering conditions in the form of text elements (20 to 29), and by verifying (4) whether, inside the document (8), logical links (30 to 32) of filtering conditions (20 to 29) apply to the message (3), said logical links being specified in an internet page description method (XML).

16. A connection controlling element for a mobile radio network, comprising:
-
an input for incoming messages, a memory or access to a memory for a document defined in an internet page description language, which represents filter conditions and logical linkages of filter conditions;
a filtering facility for filtering incoming messages at the input using a document stored in a memory, and an output for sending messages or notifying messages to a user to whom the message is directed and/or to facilities for executing applications specified by the message.
