Method for the distribution of calls in a communication network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for distributing calls in a communication network, comprising the steps of:
- registering calls by a central authority of the communication network and subsequently allocating the calls to servers that then service the calls;
also servicing calls with the servers that have not been registered and allocated by the central authority;
after a successful allocation, monitoring with the central authority whether a server does a cleardown of an allocated call due to lack of capacity; and
in case of the cleardown of the call due to lack of capacity, excluding the server from a further allocation of a call by the central authority for a specific time span or reducing a probability for a further allocation for said time span.

Abstract
For distributing calls in a communication network, a central network authority that forwards calls from subscribers to servers for further servicing of the calls provides an optimally successful distribution, i.e. a low load-conditioned cleardown rate by the servers, even when it cannot directly register the workload of a server. In order to achieve this, the central network authority monitors the reason for the cleardown of a call by a server and excludes a server from the call distribution procedure for a specific time span when this server clears an allocated calldown due to lack of adequate capacity.
