Present invention refers to a method and a system for intelligent routing of an incoming call over a dual telecommunication network supporting both CS and PS connections, comprising: initiating, from a call router server, a CS call establishment connection; at roughly the same time, sending, a push message over the PS connection to a callee's mobile device; as result of receiving the push message, registering said callee's mobile device into the call router server; providing the call router server with a measure of quality of a PS connection; and in the event of receiving, at the call router server, an unreachable notification from the CS connection and the measure of quality is higher than a pre-established minimum value, routing the incoming call through the PS connection.

A recovery network may provide communication recovery and backup services to an organization. The organization may comprise an internal network, such as Internet Protocol (IP) network. An alternative communication path communicatively couples communication devices of the organization to a public communication network. A recovery application operates on devices of the organization. The recovery network receives periodic availability indicators from devices within the organization. The recovery network identifies a communication endpoint of the intended recipient of a communication request using the availability indicators.

A service protection method includes a first node that determines that a fault has occurred on a first working path, and generates a service switching message based on the fault on the first working path. The first node sends the service switching message on a first protection path, where the service switching message indicates to adjust a bandwidth of a service from a guard bandwidth to a target bandwidth, where the guard bandwidth represents a pre-occupied bandwidth of the first protection path before the service is transmitted, where the target bandwidth represents an occupied bandwidth for transmitting the service on the first protection path, and where the guard bandwidth is less than the target bandwidth.

The present invention maintains calls during transfers between different types of subsystems, even when there is a bearer path interruption at the user element due to the original connection from the transferring-out subsystem being dropped before the new connection in the transferring-in subsystem is established. The call signaling leg toward the remote endpoint of the remote party is held, while the call signaling leg toward the user element is moved from the transferring-out subsystem to the transferring-in subsystem and a new bearer path is established via the transferring-in subsystem. During transfers with a bearer path interruption, a portion of the bearer path leading to the remote endpoint may be connected to a media resource function, which will provide an announcement to the remote party. Once the user element is accessible in the transferring-in subsystem, the bearer path is further transferred to the user element via the transferring-in subsystem.

A communication system includes a communication apparatus that processes a packet according to control information set by a control apparatus; a first control apparatus that controls the communication apparatus by setting the control information in the communication apparatus; and a second control apparatus that operates in concert with the first control apparatus. The first control apparatus transmits information necessary for interoperation between the first and second control apparatuses to the second control apparatus via the communication apparatus.

A pluggable transceiver is provided for achieving a redundant connection in a communication network when inserted in a communication network node of the communication network. The pluggable transceiver is connected to a first cable on a first input and is directly connected to two or more data-plane ports when inserted. The pluggable transceiver comprises a converter to receive incoming data in a first representation and convert the incoming data from the first representation into a second representation, and a distributor to distribute the incoming data to a first data-plane port among the two or more data-plane ports in the second representation. The pluggable transceiver comprises a first selector to select the first data-plane port and receive outgoing data from the first data-plane port in the second representation, where the first data-plane port is active.

A service protection method includes a first node that determines that a fault has occurred on a first working path, and generates a service switching message based on the fault on the first working path. The first node sends the service switching message on a first protection path, where the service switching message indicates to adjust a bandwidth of a service from a guard bandwidth to a target bandwidth, where the guard bandwidth represents a pre-occupied bandwidth of the first protection path before the service is transmitted, where the target bandwidth represents an occupied bandwidth for transmitting the service on the first protection path, and where the guard bandwidth is less than the target bandwidth.
