A telecommunications system having a first PS network, second PS network
and a third circuit-switched core network includes a system for
terminating a legacy domain circuit-switched communication upon receipt
of a trigger signal requesting termination of communication. The system
includes first and second functional entities in each network. The first
and second functional entities of the first network can communicate
signals over an interface using a PS protocol. The first and second
functional entities of the second network can communicate signals over an
interface using a PS protocol. The first functional entity of the first
network can communicate packet data to and from the first functional
entity of the second network. The second functional entity of the first
network communicates a PS protocol signal to the second entity of the
second network, which then communicates a circuit-switched protocol
signal to and from the third circuit-switched protocol core network to
terminate the circuit-switched communication.
