Abstract

This paper focuses on the convergence between the legacy IN and IP world in order to deliver value-added services in a converged environment to both PSTN and IP clients. The main objective of this paper is to propose and define a converged architecture between the IN and the IP world in order to offer existing and nextgeneration customized and personalized services that meet the demands of multi-party multi-connection and multimedia calls. The main elements and subsystems, protocols and interfaces of this architecture are presented and analysed. The main advantages of this architecture includes scalability in terms of deployment next generation services, diversity support of VoIP end-users and service access to the next generation services by the PSTN users.
