Abstract

Provided is a method for multiple-termination routing in a wireless network environment that includes an Internet Protocol (“IP”) core. The method includes receiving a call delivery request. The call delivery request is based upon intelligent network protocols and includes a called number. The call features associated with the called number are retrieved, a determination is made whether the call features include multiple-termination routing information for a plurality of potential terminating devices, wherein at least one termination to be routed utilizes Session Initiation Protocol. When the call features include the multiple-termination routing information, call setups are initiated to each of the plurality of potential terminating devices. Upon detecting a first potential terminating device to complete one of the plurality of initiated call setups, any remaining initiated call setup or setups are released. In another aspect, the call setups are initiated consecutively to each of the plurality of potential-terminating devices, in an order designated in the multiple-termination routing information. Upon detecting a first potential terminating device to complete the call setup, foregoing initiation of a subsequent call setup to the remaining potential terminating devices.
