First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for performing vocoder bypass in a wireless telecommunications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a first identifier for a first station and a second identifier for a second station;
determining whether the first identifier facially identifies a device type by determining whether the first identifier includes a first predetermined aspect indicative of a mobile station;
determining whether the second identifier facially identifies a device type by determining whether the second identifier includes a second predetermined aspect indicative of a mobile station, wherein at least one of the first predetermined aspect and the second predetermined aspect comprise an area code extension; and
responsive to a determination that the first identifier facially identifies the device type and the second identifier facially identifies the device type, performing vocoder bypass.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for using differentiated telephone numbers to determine whether to perform a vocoder bypass. In an exemplary embodiment, a mobile station may call a terminating node. An intermediate entity may search an identifier of the terminating node for a predetermined aspect. If the predetermined aspect is found, the terminating node may be a mobile station, and the intermediate entity may perform a vocoder bypass. If the predetermined aspect is not found, the terminating node may be a non-mobile station, and the intermediate entity may perform vocoding.

11. A method carried out at an intermediate entity in communication with a first mobile station and a terminating node, the method comprising:
-
receiving an identifier for the terminating node from the first mobile station via a wireless telecommunications network;
determining whether the identifier includes a predetermined aspect that facially identifies the terminating node as a second mobile station, wherein the predetermined aspect is selected from the group consisting of an area code extension and a predetermined area code; and
performing vocoder bypass if the identifier includes the predetermined aspect. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
