A system and method for routing calls in a distributed mobile switching center environment involves receiving a call at a first node (()) in a telecommunication network (). The first node is associated with multiple trunks (). A constraint relating to selection of a circuit for routing the call is identified (). The circuit is associated with one of the trunks that is associated with the first node. The call is routed () to a trunk in accordance with the constraint.

Restrictive and preferential routing in a distributed mobile switching center environment with media gateway clusters

Apparatus, and an associated method, forming a bridge mechanism bridging a legacy cellular network with a successor-generation cellular network. A communication service available only in the successor-generation network is made available to a mobile station operable pursuant to a service subscription in the legacy network. The bridge mechanism forms a hybrid mobile switching center capable of operation in both the legacy network and the successor-generation network.
