Abstract:
A system for processing call information within a telecommunications network, the processing system comprising:a first call processing unit having a first functional module operable to communicate with a first call sequencer module, the first functional module operable to perform a corresponding function of call processing, the first call sequencer module operable to invoke the first functional module whenever the function of call processing corresponding to the first functional module is required to be performed by the first call processing unit;a second call processing unit having a second functional module operable to communicate with a second call sequencer module, the second functional module operable to perform a corresponding function of call processing, the second call sequencer module operable to invoke the second functional module whenever the function of call processing corresponding to the second functional module is required to be performed by the second call processing unit; anda call block memory accessible by the first call processing unit and the second call processing unit, the call block memory operable to store information generated during processing within either the first call processing unit or the second call processing unit, wherein the first call processing unit and the second call processing unit cooperate to perform call processing for a single call.
