Abstract
A method and system is provided for transparently supporting a wireless service protocol such as IS-53 in a Generic C integrated wireless and wireline communication system operating with a wireline service protocol such as LSSGR. The Generic C architecture is provided with the capability of supporting common cellular system IS-53 wireless features in addition to the wireline LSSGR features otherwise provided by either translating wireless invocation codes to wireline invocation codes, or directing call processing to a dedicated wireless system mobile switching center (MSC) arranged to process IS-53 protocol. Feature code translation is performed in a wireless system location register (WSLR) to enable transparent IS-53 feature code support on a CLASS 5 wireline switch equipped with LSSGR features. Alternatively, upon inquiry from an access manager (AM), the WSLR directs the AM to route the call to the dedicated MSC for IS-53 code processing.
