Abstract:
1. A system for processing a call from a subscriber in a telecommunication network, comprising: a service-oriented architecture-based orchestrator configured to communicate with legacy communication platforms and next-generation communication platforms and an application layer or intelligent network (IN) portion of the telecommunication network, the orchestrator configured to receive a multi-part service request corresponding to the call from the subscriber, wherein the multi-part service request includes multiple individual service requests; a service database configured to provide an identity and network location of a plurality of external control points, each control point representing an external network entity separate and independent from the system for processing a call, and each external control point containing processing instructions corresponding to an individual service request among the multiple service requests of the multi-part service request; a universal interface including a core network protocol adapter and a network enabler protocol adapter both configured to determine an identity of a core network to which the subscriber is coupled and to identify corresponding one or more network protocols required to service the multi-part service request, wherein the network protocol adapter is separate from the network enabler protocol adapter; wherein the core network protocol adapter is configured to: wherein the network enabler protocol adapter, is configured to: a network service orchestrator configured to simultaneously connect to each external control point and request processing instructions corresponding to the individual service request, wherein the network service orchestrator is configured to receive, from each respective control point, processing instructions corresponding to the respective individual service request, and is configured to process the multi-part service request according to the processing instructions received.
