Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for routing calls to communication processing centers based on an optimal destination plan. Calls are allocated on the basis of area codes, regions, or other predetermined categories to particular communication processing centers. Each communication processing center's free capacity is calculated for all time intervals and this result is used to ascertain the smallest free capacity of any time interval for each communication processing center. The calls are then reallocated through linear programming methods such that the amount of smallest free capacity is maximized in order to determine the optimal call allocation scheme.
