Claim Text:
1. A call processing module, comprising a frequency handler for dynamically allocating to a client device a receive frequency and a transmit frequency from a set of frequencies in an active channel map that are available for use for a telephony call based on the active channel map dynamically updating a relationship of channels to services delivering programming content carried on the channels, said receive frequency and transmit frequencies being used by the client device over a broadband access network during the telephony call, wherein the frequency handler is configured to dynamically allocate, for use by the client device during communication between the call processing module and the client device over the broadband access network, the receive and transmit frequencies, and a program ID from among receive and transmit frequencies and program IDs available in the active channel map at a time a call setup is requested, a notification of available receive and transmit frequencies and available program IDs being provided to the call processing module, at the time of call setup, from an operator of the broadband access network; and The call processing module, further comprising a session manager configured to generate and receive signaling messages for establishing the telephony call between a local subscriber and a remote subscriber over the broadband access network and a packet-switched network as well as over the broadband access network and a circuit-switched network in communication with the packet-switched network, wherein the session manager includes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server and client that respectively transmits and receives SIP signaling messages over the packet-switched network to and from the remote subscriber.
