Release link trunking for IP telephony
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a device, a call between an originator device, in an address space, and an Internet Protocol (IP) device in an IP address space,the address space being outside the IP address space;
receiving, by the device and from the IP device, a first message identifying a particular destination in the address space;
sending, by the device, the first message, to a switch in the address space, to request that the call be redirected to the particular destination;
receiving, from the switch, a second message indicating that the call has been redirected to the particular destination; and
releasing, by the device and based on receiving the second message, resources for the call established between the originator device and the IP device.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided that use resources more efficiently for calls originating and terminating in a first address space that use services in an IP address space. A call is established from an originator in a first address space to an IP device within an IP address space. The IP device sends a message to a switch in the first address space indicating a new destination in the first address space. The established call is released and a second call is established from the originator in the first address space to the new destination in the first address space. In another implementation, a first leg of a call is established to an IP device from a first address space. The IP device establishes a second leg of a call to a destination in the first address space. The calls are bridged and resources released.

establishing, by a device, a call between an originator device, in an address space, and an Internet Protocol (IP) device in an IP address space, the address space being outside the IP address space; receiving, by the device and from the IP device, a first message identifying a particular destination in the address space; sending, by the device, the first message, to a switch in the address space, to request that the call be redirected to the particular destination; receiving, from the switch, a second message indicating that the call has been redirected to the particular destination; and releasing, by the device and based on receiving the second message, resources for the call established between the originator device and the IP device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system comprising:
a gateway to; receive, from an Internet Protocol (IP) device in an IP address space, a first message requesting that a call, established between the IP device and a particular device in a particular address space, be redirected to a destination in the particular address space, the particular address space being different than the IP address space, translate the first message to a second message, send the second message to another device in the particular address space, receive, from the other device, a third message relating to redirecting the call to the destination in the particular address space, and release resources of the call established between the IP device and the particular device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to; receive a first message from an Internet Protocol (IP) device in an IP address space, a first call being established between the IP device and a particular device in a particular address space that is different than the IP address space, the first message requesting a second call to be established between the particular device and a destination in the particular address space; translate the first message to a second message that includes information identifying the particular device send the second message to another device in the particular address space; and release the IP device from the first call based on a third message, from the other device, relating to establishing the second call. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
