Systems and methods are disclosed to provide converged service control and
converged charging in legacy networks and IMS networks. A converged
service control system of the invention includes a protocol interface and
a service controller. The protocol interface receives call messages from
the legacy networks and the IMS networks, and converts the call messages
to a common protocol. The service controller then processes the call
messages in the common protocol to provide service control to the legacy
networks and the IMS networks. The service controller is also enabled to
provide online and offline charging for the legacy networks and the IMS
networks.
