Method for optimizing the transmission resources by local loopback in a mobile radio communication cellular network, network and local adapters thereof
First Claim
1. Method of transmitting data in a mobile radio communication cellular network, wherein:
- setting up, maintaining and terminating a data communication channel between a caller and a called party located in said cellular network are implemented by exchanges of signalling messages,a caller and/or a called party each being located in a local zone of said cellular network,the method comprises;
a first detecting phase if the caller and the called party of said communication are located in the same local zone of said cellular network, according to a detection strategy including a step of analysing all or a portion of said signalling messages by a adapter device located upstream of at least one base station of the cellular network and downstream of a base station controller; and
a second phase of triggering a local loopback operation of all or a portion of data exchanged between the caller and the called party, in a case where said detecting phase confirms a local nature of said communication between the caller and the called party.

Abstract
A method for transmitting data in a mobile radio communication cellular network, wherein setting up, maintaining and terminating a data communication channel between a caller and a called party located in the cellular network are implemented by the exchanges of signaling messages. A caller and/or a called party each is located in a local zone of the cellular network. The method includes: a first detecting phase if the caller and the called party of the communication are located in the same local zone of the cellular network, according to a detection strategy including a step of analyzing all or a portion of the signaling messages; and then triggering a local loopback operation of all or a portion of the data exchanged between the caller and the called party, in the case where the detecting phase confirms the local nature of the communication between the caller and the called party.
