Abstract:
An interface disposed between a first network and a second network, wherein the first network uses a first type of signaling and the second network uses a second type of signaling, the interface translating signaling between the first network and the second network, the interface further comprising a control plane for translating signaling between the first network and the second network and a user plane for converting user data from the first type of signaling to the second type of signaling;said control plane is configured to determine control parameters for conducting said first type of signaling on said first network when conducting a communication transaction on said first network; and said control plane is configured to use knowledge service mapping to translate said control parameters for conducting said communication transaction on the first network to the second network when the control plane translates signaling between the first network and the second network, wherein the interface further comprises a control plane for mapping services between the first network and the second network and transferring the services between the first network and the second network.
