Abstract
A method in a communication network having separate call control and bearer control for interfacing the network with a further network that utilizes monolithic signaling. The method increases the flexibility of an existing payload connection, especially in the case of a malfunction. Enhancements to existing signaling protocols are utilized to transfer further information. Information elements and methods for interpreting the transferred information are stored in the senders and receivers of the information, enabling more information to be transferred. A combination of a payload transmission device and a control node may be identified separately or as a single device. Additionally, a connection assignment may be identified as a further assignment, enabling the change of a current assignment for a radio access controller.
