System, method, and computer-readable medium for abbreviated-code dialing in a network system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- performing, in a femtocell, an evaluation of a destination number of a second user equipment to which a call related to a call setup request from a first user equipment is directed; and
directing the call to a private branch exchange deployed in the femtocell network if the destination number is an abbreviated code of a telephone number derived from the destination number;
directing the call to a core network communicatively coupled with the femtocell network if the destination number is not an abbreviated code of a telephone number derived from the destination number.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium for abbreviated dialing in a femtocell network is provided. A user having authorized access to the femtocell network may dial another authorized user using an abbreviated code. On receipt of the call request, a femtocell system may evaluate the destination number to determine if it is an abbreviated code. If the dialed number is not an abbreviated code, the femtocell system may direct the call request to the telecommunication core network for processing thereby. If the dialed number is evaluated by the femtocell system as an abbreviated code, the femtocell system may direct the call request to an on-site PBX for call handling. If the abbreviated code is a valid code and the dialed user equipment is currently in the femtocell network service area, the PBX may then complete the call setup within the femtocell network.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system, wherein the instructions:
-
perform, within a femtocell of a femtocell network comprising a private branch exchange, an evaluation of a destination number of a second user equipment to which a call is directed, wherein the evaluation determines if the destination number comprises an abbreviated code; and direct the call to the private branch exchange if the destination number comprises the abbreviated code; direct the call to a core network communicatively coupled with the femtocell network if the destination number does not comprise the abbreviated code. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a packet-switched network; an IP Multimedia subsystem communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network; and a femtocell network communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network, the femtocell network comprising a private branch exchange, wherein the femtocell network includes a femtocell that performs an evaluation to determine whether a destination number of a second user equipment to which a call setup request, from a first user equipment, is directed comprises an abbreviated code, and directs the call to the private branch exchange if the destination number comprises the abbreviated code or directs the call to a core network communicatively coupled with the femtocell network if the destination number does not comprise the abbreviated code. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
