Abstract:
A method for establishing an interface between an intelligent network and a packet data network, comprising the steps of:activating a communications session in said packet data network; a node in said packet data network sending a notification signal to a node in said intelligent network, said notification signal identifying said communications session to said intelligent network; said node in said intelligent network sending a control signal to said node in said packet data network, said control signal including information to limit a duration of said communications session in said packet data network, said control signal further including a maximum value of packet data for transmission; if said duration of said communications session is limited to a value less than said maximum value of packet data for transmission, said node in said packet data network sending a second signal to said node in said intelligent network, said second signal including information associated with said duration; and said node in said intelligent network using said duration information to determine a new maximum value of packet data for transmission.
