Abstract Intensive research and development efforts have been made on the intelligent network (IN) to realize diversified and advanced telecommunication services and the early introduction of new services under a multi‐vendor environment. Earlier research and development, however, assume the conventional telephone service and narrowband ISDN services and gave little consideration to the broadband ISDN. The study of the IN from the viewpoint of the broadband ISDN is urgent considering the systematic realization of the services (i.e., multimedia services) that are not yet sufficient as well as the increase of the demand for the development of new services. This paper proposes the call model, which provides the basis for realizing the IN architecture incorporating the broadband ISDN. First, the basic concepts are defined clearly. Then the call model is proposed which can realize the general connection control for various connection types as well as the flexible control for the multiple virtual channels in the multimedia environment. The model also facilitates the control of the interactions among related services. Finally, the service control characteristics of the proposed call model are investigated.
