J-STD-025 call deflection allows the called party to interactively refuse an incoming call and send that call to another directory number, to voice mail, or to an announcement. J-STD-025 call delivery redirects an incoming call to a mobile subscriber. J-STD-025 call diversion is similar to call forwarding, except that the condition may be more complex and dynamic (e.g., its routing decisions may be based upon calling party number, calling party entry of a valid password, time-of-day, day-of-week, day-of-year, calling party location).

J-STD-025 carrier network a telecommunications network to which customers are not connected directly and which interconnects access networks; TR TKÜ CC link communication channel for HI3 information between a mediation function and a LEMF  NOTE: It is used for transmission of the Content of Communication. This term refers to circuit switched only. LI HI CC link identifier This identifier is only used at the interface ports HI2 and HI3 in case of the reuse of CC links (option B, see clause A.5.4.2). For each CC link, which is set up by the mediation function towards the LEMF, a CC link identifier (CCLID) is transmitted in the HI2 records and HI3 setup message in addition to CIN and NID. For the correct correlation of multiparty calls this identity number indicates in the IRI records of each multiparty call, which CC link is used for the transmission of the CC. The CCLID may use the same format as the CIN; in this case, it need not be transmitted explicitly during set up of the CC links, as part of HI3. The CIN may also implicitly represent the CCLID.  LI HI cell in a wireless system, the sub-area to which a set of radio resources is allocated. J-STD-025 channel an independent path for communicating between two points. J-STD-025 circuit a switchable bi-directional path between two locations. A circuit may be all or part of a channel.

NOTE 2: LI HI Communication Identity Number (CIN) This parameter is mandatory for IRI in case of reporting events for connection-oriented types of communication (e.g. circuit switched calls). The communication identity number is a temporary identifier of an intercepted communication, relating to a specific target identity. LI HI communication intercept see intercept.
