METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING NEXT GENERATION NETWORK (NGN)-BASED END USER SERVICES TO LEGACY SUBSCRIBERS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for providing next generation network (NGN)-based end user services to legacy subscribers in a communications network, the method comprising:
- at a service creation system (SCS) node having at least one processor, using the at least one processor for;
receiving a signaling system 7 (SS7) call setup signaling message associated with a call involving a legacy subscriber access device and holding the SS7 call setup signaling message;
while holding the SS7 call setup signaling message;
generating a session initiation protocol (SIP) call setup signaling message related to the SS7 call setup signaling message;
initiating the providing of at least one NGN-end user service for the call using the SIP call setup signaling message;
determining whether to modify the SS7 call setup signaling message based on the at least one NGN-based end user service, and, in response to determining to modify the SS7 call setup signaling message, modifying the SS7 call setup signaling message; and
routing the SS7 call setup signaling message towards a destination.

Abstract
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing NGN-based end user services to legacy subscribers in a communications network. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for providing NGN-based end user services to legacy subscribers in a communications network that includes, at a service creation system (SCS) node having at least one processor, using the at least one processor for receiving a SS7 call setup message associated with a call involving a legacy subscriber access device and holding the SS7 call setup message. The method also includes, while holding the SS7 call setup message, generating a SIP call setup message related to the SS7 call setup message, and initiating the providing of at least one NGN-based end user service for the call using the SIP call setup message. The method further includes determining whether to modify the SS7 call setup message based on the at least one NGN-based end user service, and, in response to determining to modify the SS7 call setup message, modifying the SS7 call setup message, and routing the SS7 call setup message towards a destination.

8. A system for providing next generation network (NGN)-based end user services to legacy subscribers in a communications network, the system comprising:
-
a service creation system (SCS) node having a message buffer for receiving a signaling system 7 (SS7) call setup signaling message associated with a call involving a legacy subscriber access device and for holding the SS7 call setup signaling message; the SCS node including a service capability interaction manager (SCIM) for, while the message buffer is holding the SS7 call setup signaling message; generating a session initiation protocol (SIP) call setup signaling message related to the SS7 call setup signaling message; initiating the providing of at least one NGN-end user service for the call using the SIP call setup signaling message; determining whether to modify the SS7 call setup signaling message based on the at least one NGN-based end user service, and, in response to determining to modify the SS7 call setup signaling message, modifying the SS7 call setup signaling message; and routing the SS7 call setup signaling message towards a destination. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
-
at a service creation system (SCS) node having at least one processor, using the at least one processor for; receiving a signaling system 7 (SS7) call setup signaling message associated with a call involving a legacy subscriber access device and holding the SS7 call setup signaling message; while holding the SS7 call setup signaling message; generating a session initiation protocol (SIP) call setup signaling message related to the SS7 call setup signaling message; initiating the providing of at least one NGN-end user service for the call using the SIP call setup signaling message; determining whether to modify the SS7 call setup signaling message based on the at least one NGN-based end user service, and, in response to determining to modify the SS7 call setup signaling message, modifying the SS7 call setup signaling message; and routing the SS7 call setup signaling message towards a destination. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
