Bearer path resource matching in a wireless communication network
First Claim
1. A method for predictive bearer path resource matching for call setup in an originating mobile switching center emulation (MSCe) of a wireless communication network including a circuit fabric and packet fabric, the method comprising:
- receiving an origination message including a call termination identifier and a calling party profile including call setup capabilities of a calling party from an originating base station controller (BSC);
when in a first predictive bearer path matching mode, generating a bearer resource preference list based upon the call termination identifier, the bearer resource preference list includes a predetermined priority order of a plurality of bearer path resource identifiers including at least one of a packet bearer resource identifier and a trunk bearer resource identifier;
when in a second predictive bearer path matching mode, generating the bearer resource preference list with a bearer path resource identifier to indicate whether the originating MSCe couples to a packet bearer resource or a trunk bearer resource; and
sending, in response to the origination message, the bearer resource preference list to the originating BSC for matching with an available bearer path resource.

Abstract
Call setup in a wireless communication network that includes a circuit fabric and a packet fabric. The originating MSCe receives an origination message including a call termination identifier, and a predictive bearer path matching mode is determined. When the originating MSCe is in a first predictive bearer path matching mode, the originating MSC generates a bearer resource preference list based upon the termination identifier. The bearer resource preference list includes a predetermined priority order of a plurality of bearer path resource identifiers including at least one of a packet bearer resource identifier and a circuit bearer resource identifier. When the originating MSCe is in a second predictive bearer path matching mode, the MSCe generates a bearer resource preference list to indicate whether the originating MSCe couples to a packet bearer resource or a trunk bearer resource. The originating MSCe sends, in response to the origination message, the bearer resource preference list to an originating base station controller (BSC). The originating BSC matches an available bearer path resource of the originating BSC based upon the bearer resource preference list.
