METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT ASSOCIATED SESSIONS IN HYBRID TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H04L12/66 

FIELD: information technologies.

SUBSTANCE: session containing call with circuit switching and one or more sessions with packet switching can be deployed simultaneously in networks of various types, in interconnection with the same user device. Call with circuit switching and session with packet switching can be correlated, and in this case communication session is considered as combination session. By introducing logical databases which contain actual data about network addresses and sessions correlation verification is executed with respect to correlation determination node. Verification consists in a number of requests to specified databases or to other network objects, with the result that it can be determined weather session can be considered as combination or not. Verification result can be used for example in operational combination charging of fee.

EFFECT: excluding additional requirements to subscriber during verification of correlation between call with circuit switching and session with packet switching.
