Abstract
A procedure for providing a telecommunication service. The service provisioning system (SDS) is equipped with a global service control point (GSCP , GSCP ) and several service switching points (SSP to SSP ). Subscribers (A) of the telecommunication network (T_NET) send service request messages to service control functions, which control the implementation of the respective telecommunication service. The service provisioning system is also equipped with one or several local service control points (LSCP to LSCP ), whereby each of them is assigned to one of the service switching points (SSP to SSP ) and is connected via a local communication mechanism (L_NET to L_NET ). Depending on the telecommunication service being controlled, the service control function is installed globally or locally. The service switching point (SSP to SSP ) establishes whether the assigned service control function is currently installed locally or globally, and transfers the service request message accordingly.
