Abstract:
A method for controlling connection between a communication terminal equipment of a radio communication network and a further communication terminal equipment, wherein the radio communication network comprises at least one radio transmission unit controlled by at least one switching and control point, and wherein the switching and control point is respectively connected to a switching center via an interface, said method comprising the steps of:determining at least one switching point address and a channel address for channel identification from data specifically associated with a radio communication network in the switching center based on a connection control request;transmitting a channel connection message with the switching point address and the channel address from the switching center to the switching and control point via the interface;evaluating the received channel connection message at the switching and control point and deciding whether connection control is initiated via the radio transmission unit in the radio communication network; andgenerating a connection between the communication terminal equipment via the radio transmission unit for the transmission of information,wherein the channel connection message is transmitted by the switching center only when the connection control for a channel connection can be implemented via the radio transmission unit by the switching and control point.
