Abstract
A procedure for providing a telecommunication service. The service provisioning system (SDS) is equipped with a global service control point (GSCP1, GSCP2) and several service switching points (SSP1 to SSP3). Subscribers (A) of the telecommunication network (T_NET) send service request messages to service control functions, which control the implementation of the respective telecommunication service. The service provisioning system is also equipped with one or several local service control points (LSCP1 to LSCP4), whereby each of them is assigned to one of the service switching points (SSP1 to SSP3) and is connected via a local communication mechanism (L_NET1 to L_NET3). Depending on the telecommunication service being controlled, the service control function is installed globally or locally. The service switching point (SSP1 to SSP3) establishes whether the assigned service control function is currently installed locally or globally, and transfers the service request message accordingly.
