Abstract
This invention relates to communication systems and QSIG communication methods. According to a first aspect, a communication system includes a control component; and a data network configured to communicate packets of information intermediate an originating location and a terminating location, the originating location being configured to receive a QSIG communication including a content portion and a signaling portion, wherein the data network is configured to communicate the signaling portion to the control component and the control component is configured to establish a connection within the data network intermediate the originating location and the terminating location responsive to the signaling portion, and wherein the data network is further configured to communicate the content portion of the communication within a plurality of packets intermediate the originating location and the terminating location using the connection.

29. A method comprising:
-
partitioning inter-Private Branch Exchange (PBX) communications from existing PBX communications, where an inter-PBX communication is received from a device not supported by a PBX; receiving a partitioned inter-PBX communication, the partitioned inter-PBX communication including a signal packet including QSIG signaling information; and establishing a bearer channel connection between a first network access device and a second network access device using the QSIG signaling information. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method comprising:
-
partitioning inter-Private Branch Exchange (PBX) communications from existing PBX communications, where an inter-PBX communication is received from a device not supported by a PBX; receiving a partitioned inter-PBX communication, the partitioned inter-PBX communication including a QSIG communication including a content portion and a signaling portion; encapsulating the content portion and the signaling portion of the partitioned inter-PBX communication to provide a plurality of respective content packets and signaling packets; and transmitting the signaling packets to a control component for use in establishing a connection between a first network access device and a second network access device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A system comprising:
-
a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) switch configured to; partition inter-PBX communications from existing PBX communications, where an inter-PBX communication is received from a device not supported by the PBX switch; and a network access device configured to; receive a partitioned inter-PBX communication that includes a QSIG signal that contains a signal portion and a content portion; encapsulate the received signal portion into signal packets and the received content portion into content packets; and transmit the signal packets to establish a communication channel to a second network access device. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
