Gateway control agent and its implementation method
First Claim
1. A gateway control agent, comprising:
- the gateway control agent being set between the media gateway controller and a plurality of media gateways in the packet network, and establishing the mapping relations between the media gateway controller and the media gateways; and
the media gateway controller uniformly requesting for a certain service from the gateway control agent, the gateway control agent selecting the appropriate resource capabilities among the media gateways managed by it and performing mapping between a single media gateway region and the media gateway set region represented by the gateway control agent, such that the control operation by the media gateway controller on the resource capabilities in the media gateway set region represented by the gateway control agent is mapped to the resource capabilities of the single media gateway region by the gateway control agent.

Abstract
A gateway control agent is disclosed in the present invention, which is set between the media gateway controller and a plurality of media gateways in the packet network. The gateway control agent establishes the mapping relations between the media gateway controller and the media gateways, the media gateway controller uniformly requests for a certain service from the gateway control agent, the gateway control agent then selects the appropriate resource capabilities among the media gateways managed by it and performs mapping between a single media gateway region and the media gateway set region represented by the gateway control agent, and the control operation by the media gateway controller on the resource capabilities in the media gateway set region represented by the gateway control agent is mapped to the resource capabilities of the single media gateway region by the gateway control agent. An implementing method of the gateway control agent is also proposed in the present invention. Therefore, the media gateway controller according to the present invention considers media gateways as a resource set and realizes hierarchical control and simplification operations without the care of the details of a certain MG.

6. An implementation method of the gateway control agent, comprises the steps of:
-
the media gateways registering to the gateway control agent set between the media gateway controller and the media gateways in the packet network, while the gateway control agent, representing the media gateway set, registering to the media gateway controller;
the gateway control agent selecting the appropriate media gateway according to the service providing request sent from the media gateway controller and sending the command to the media gateway to request for providing the service;
the media gateway sending the response command to the gateway control agent; and
the gateway control agent operating according to the response command from the media gateway, sending the response command to the media gateway controller, and establishing mapping relations between the media gateway controller and the media gateways. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
