Apparatus For Guaranteeing the Availability of Subscribers in Communication Networks Over Network Boundaries
First Claim
1. An apparatus for transmitting information to a multiplicity of subscribers in at least two communication networks over the network boundaries, where each of the communication networks is formed from a plurality of exchanges which are connected to one another by means of intermediate switch clusters,wherein each intermediate switch cluster has an associated alert profile.

Abstract
According to prior art, for example, when danger or environmental catastrophe are imminent, the population is warned by information guided via the communication network. This type of warning is however limited when the communication network consists of a plurality of sub-networks and the (warning) information must thus be transmitted over network boundaries to the subscriber The invention solves this problem in that a warning profile is associated with each route/transit switching centre trunk group. The association is carried out during the establishment of the route/transit switching centre trunk group, and is updated as required as changes of the network configuration. Each network transition implicitly thus has one such warning profile.

11. An apparatus for transmitting information to a plurality of subscribers in at least one communication network over network boundary toward the plurality of subscribers, the communication network is comprising:
-
a plurality of packet-based switching nodes which are connected to one another by signaling relationships; and at least one subscriber terminal which has a signaling relationship with at least one of the packet-based switching nodes in the communication network, wherein each signaling relationship between a packet-based switching node and a subscriber has an associated alert profile, for terminating calls from the subscriber in a packet-based switching node the profile information from the alert profile includes information for characterizing warning advice on the subscriber interface, service logic is provided in the switching node which identifies warning advice and which takes the alert profile associated with the subscriber as a basis for controlling the output of a piece of warning advice to the subscriber terminal in line with the prompts stored in the alert profile, and the subscriber terminal identifies warning advice and its specific, prioritized and/or secure output to the subscriber. - View Dependent Claims (12)
