The present invention relates to a method of controlling common call
connection and a media gateway for executing the method, which are
capable of performing call connection control without a change in a
control procedure under different protocols and the interworking of the
different protocols. In the method of the present invention, each of a
plurality of termination points connected by a call in the media gateway,
each of a plurality of multimedia services transmitted and received
between the terminations through connection setup of the call and each of
a plurality of physical resources per multimedia service in the
multimedia are defined as a termination, a stream and a channel,
respectively, a call processing request based on one of various media
gateway control protocols is mapped into a model defined as described
above, and resource allocation, connection setup or release with respect
to a channel belonging to a call and a termination are requested
according to the type of the call processing request. Accordingly, the
method of the present invention accommodates call processing based on
various types of protocols.
