1. A method of transferring a user communication to a packet communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving the user communication into a device;
receiving signaling formatted for a narrowband system into a processing system;
in the processing system, processing the signaling to select a network code that identifies a network element to provide egress for the user communication from the packet communication system;
transferring an instruction indicating the network code from the processing system to the device; and
transferring a packet including the network code and the user communication from the device to the packet communication system in response to the instruction.

Abstract
The present invention includes a method, system, and apparatus for providing communication control. The invention includes a method in which signaling is processed externally to a switch before it is applied by the network elements. The processor is able to select network characteristics and signal the network elements based the selections. A network employing the processing method is also included, as well as a signaling system that employs the processing method.

-
receiving a packet including information and the user communication from the packet communication system into a device;
transferring the information from the device to a processing system;
in the processing system, processing the information to select a communication path;
transferring an instruction indicating the communication path from the processing system to the device;
transferring the user communication from the device to the communication path in response to the instruction; and
transferring signaling from the processing system wherein the signaling indicates the communication path for the user communication and is formatted for a narrowband system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
