Abstract

In a method and system for improving the efficiency of TCAP transactions, a TCAP transaction is set up in a semi-permanent basis between two signaling points having frequent request-reply communication. The semi-permanent TCAP transaction is thereafter used for application dialogues between the two signaling points. Multiple application dialogues may be multiplexed in one TCAP transaction. Alternatively, multiple TCAP transactions may be multiplexed in one SCCP connection.
