Communication system
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a communication session between a user of a communication network and a communication system wherein the communication network comprises a first network and a second network, and wherein the communication system operates on the first network, said method comprising;
- transmitting a session request packet from a device associated with the user to a first node located in the first network;
initiating the session for the user with the communication system at the first node in response to receiving the session request, wherein during the session the method comprises the steps of;
providing from the first node to the device a calling identity for use by the device during a communication event between the user and an entity via the communication system, wherein the calling identity may be used to establish a connection between the device and a second node located in the second network;
determining an address of the entity; and
associating the calling identity with the address of the entity;
wherein upon termination of the session the calling identity is disassociated from the address of the entity.

Abstract
A method of controlling a communication session between a user of a communication network and a communication system wherein the communication network comprises a first network and a second network, and wherein the communication system operates on the first network said method comprising: transmitting a session request packet from a device associated with the user to a first node located in the first network; initiating the session for the user with the communication system at the first node in response to receiving the session request, wherein during the session the method comprises the steps of: providing from the first node to the device a calling identity for use by the device during a communication event between the user and an entity via the communication system, wherein the calling identity may be used to establish a connection between the device and a second node located in the second network determining an address of the entity; and associating the calling identity with the address of the entity; wherein upon termination of the session the calling identity is disassociated from the address of the entity.

21. A call set up data packet comprising at least part of a calling identity for calling an entity via a packet switched network, wherein the calling identity may be used to establish a connection between a calling device and a node located in a circuit switched network.
-
22. A user device comprising:
- means for providing a user interface to a user of the device; and
means for generating packets for transmission to a network node to implement calls over a network, said packets including any one of the packets described herein.
- means for providing a user interface to a user of the device; and
-
23. A communication network arranged to control a communication session between a user of the communication network and a communication system wherein the communication network comprises a first network and a second network and wherein the communication system operates on the first network, the communication network further comprising:
-
a user device associated with the user, arranged to transmit a session request to a first node located in the first network; the first node arranged to initiate the session for the user with the communication system in response to receiving the session request;
to a calling identity for use by the device during a communication event between the user and an entity via the communication system, wherein the calling identity may be used to establish a connection between the device and a second node located in the second network; anda third node located in the first network arranged to associate the calling identity with the address of the entity, wherein upon termination of the session the third node is further arranged to disassociate the calling identity from the address of the entity.
