Abstract: A multimedia data network (MMN) operating according to a packet switched standard and a circuit switched network (TABX) are connected without a gateway (GW). The circuit switched network (PABX) comprises a multimedia controller (MMC) which receives signaling messages from multimedia terminals (MT) and controls the switching resources (SW) of the circuit switched network (PABX) on the basis of these signaling messages during a call set-up. The multimedia controller (MMC) makes the multimedia terminals (MT) normal extensions of the extension space of the circuit switched network (PABX). Therefore, multimedia terminals (MT) and normal telephony terminals (TT) can perform a data exchange through the switching resources (SW) controlled by the multimedia controller. Additionally, the multimedia controller (MMC) can provide supplementary services of the circuit switched network to the multimedia terminal (MT). It is also possible that the multimedia controller (MMC) performs a network resource management of resources in the multimedia data network (MMN). Thus, the multimedia controller (MMC) provides a full integration of the multimedia terminals (MT) into the circuit switched network without using the functionality of protocol conversion of a gateway (GW).

Abstract translation: 根据分组交换标准操作的多媒体数据网络（MMN）和电路交换网络（TABX）没有网关（GW）连接。 电路交换网络（PABX）包括多媒体控制器（MMC），其从多媒体终端（MT）接收信令消息，并且在呼叫期间基于这些信令消息来控制电路交换网络（PABX）的交换资源（SW） 建立。 多媒体控制器（MMC）使电路交换网络（PABX）扩展空间的多媒体终端（MT）正常扩展。 因此，多媒体终端（MT）和正常电话终端（TT）可以通过由多媒体控制器控制的交换资源（SW）进行数据交换。 另外，多媒体控制器（MMC）可以向多媒体终端（MT）提供电路交换网络的辅助服务。 多媒体控制器（MMC）也可能对多媒体数据网络（MMN）中的资源进行网络资源管理。 因此，多媒体控制器（MMC）在不使用网关（GW）的协议转换的功能的情况下，将多媒体终端（MT）完全集成到电路交换网络中。

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for synchronizing call signaling and voice circuit setup in a telephone call between an initiating and destination PSTN switch passing through a packet switched network. The packet switched network has Media Gateways (MGs) that interface with the PSTN switches through voice trunks, and Media Gateway Controllers (MGCs) that control and instruct the MGs. The PSTN switches send Signaling System 7 (SS7) call signaling messages to each other through the MGC. To synchronize the call signaling and voice circuit setup, the MGC delays the effect of these SS7 messages until the MGs are initialized using Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) commands. This delay is achieved by modifying the messages from the initiating switch, by imposing some requirements for the destination switch, such that the destination switch is forced to delay seizing the voice trunk from its side until further commands are sent from the MGC.
