1. A method for global title translation (GTT) in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving a signaling message that contains a global title address (GTA);
(b) selecting a GTT mode from a plurality of different GTT modes based on an attribute of the received signaling message, wherein at least some of the different GTT modes use different combinations of address parameters associated with received signaling messages to search a GTT database, and wherein each of the different GTT modes uses at least a signaling connection control part (SCCP) parameter from the received signaling message to determine at least a message transfer part (MTP) destination point code; and
(c) searching the GTT database using a combination of address parameters of the received signaling message specific to the selected GTT mode.

Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for selecting among different global title translation modes based on a message originator and performing global title translation based on the selected mode. According to one method, a global title translation mode is selected based on a message originator. A global title translation lookup is performed in accordance with the selected mode. If the global title translation according to the selected mode fails, a lookup may be performed according to at least one additional mode in a global title translation mode hierarchy.

10. A method for global title translation (GTT) in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
-
(a) receiving a signaling message that contains a global title address (GTA); (b) selecting a GTT mode from a plurality of different GTT modes based on an attribute of the received signaling message, wherein at least some of the different GTT modes use different combinations of address parameters associated with received signaling messages to search a GTT database, at least one of the GTT modes utilizing a GTT lookup parameter other than or in addition to a signaling connection control part (SCCP) called party address, wherein each of the different GTT modes translates at least a signaling connection control part (SCCP) parameter into at least a message transfer part (MTP) destination point code; and (c) searching the GTT database using a combination of address parameters of the received signaling message specific to the selected GTT mode. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for global title translation (GTT) in a telecommunications network, the system comprising:
-
(a) a communications link module for sending signaling messages to and receiving signaling messages from a network; (b) a GTT database; and (c) a global title translation engine operatively associated with the communications link module for receiving, from the communications link module, a signaling message that contains a global title address (GTA), for selecting, based on an attribute of the received signaling message, a GTT mode from a plurality of different GTT modes, wherein at least some of the different GTT modes use different combinations of parameters associated with received signaling messages to search a GTT database and for searching the GTT database using a combination of address parameters of the received signaling message specific to the selected GTT mode, wherein each of the different GTT modes translates at least a signaling connection control part (SCCP) parameter into at least a message transfer part (MTP) destination point code. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
