Wireless mobile call location and delivery for non-geographic numbers using a wireline SSP+SCP/wireless HLR interface
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first number, associated with a wireless device, at a peripheral interface module of an originating switching node;
identifying, by a processor of the originating switching node, a signaling node associated with the first number, where the identifying includes matching the first number to a translation type/global title address (TT/GTA) associated with the identified signaling node;
sending, by a signaling interface module of the originating switching node, a request to the identified signaling node for a route to the wireless device;
receiving from the identified signaling node a route to the wireless device, the route including a visited wireless switch serving the wireless device, the receiving being performed by the signaling interface module; and
establishing, via the originating switching node, a connection to the wireless device via the route.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for establishing a call to a wireless directory number which is either a non-geographic directory number or a non-dialable directory number. A call is initiated from a wireline telephone to a geographic-based local access directory number. A signaling node associated with the dialed local access DN sends a location request that includes the local access DN to an HLR. The HLR obtains the wireless DN from an internal database in which the wireless DN is associated with the local access DN. The HLR utilizes the wireless DN to receive a temporary local directory number (TLDN) from visitor location register, associates the TLDN with the local access DN and forwards the TLDN to the signaling node, which relays the TLDN to the originating switching node. The call connection is then established directly from the originating switching node to a visited cellular switch using the TLDN.
