Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for facilitating voice call continuity in intersystem handover. A method may include determining that a user equipment device being handed over from a packet switched network to a circuit switched network is a party to a voice call in an alerting state. The method may further include providing session state information indicating that the user equipment device is a party to a voice call in an alerting state to a network entity on the circuit switched network in response to the determination. Corresponding systems, computer program products and apparatuses are also provided.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for SRVCC emergency call support. The method may include receiving, at a mobility switching center, a first message representing a request to handover an emergency communication session from a first network to a second network. The mobile switching center may obtain a value representing an emergency session transfer number. The mobility switching center may also send a second message to the first network. The second message may initiate handover of the emergency communication session from the first network to the second network. The second message may comprise the value representing the emergency session transfer number. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are Receive Session Continuity Data also described.
Abstract:
A method can comprise providing single voice radio call continuity using packet data network bi-casting, wherein the call continuity is provided during a handover of a user equipment from a real-time transport protocol voice to a circuit switched voice call In such a method, the real-time transport protocol voice can be carried m a long term evolution system and the circuit switched voice call can be carried in a second or third generation system The method can be performed by a serving network of the user equipment.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a system of at least a network element and at least a terminal. The system constituents are configured to provide assistance by the terminal to the network element in terms of access domain selection for at least one of the media channel and the session control channel of an incoming call to the terminal. In this regard, the terminal acquires information about the capabilities of an access network in which the terminal is camping. Upon receiving, at the terminal, an invitation to participate in a call, the terminal analyzes the acquired information about the capabilities of the access network, and optionally or additionally of the IMS network. The terminal responds to the invitation, based on the result of the analyzing, with an indication that indicates a respective access domain to be used for at least one of the media channel and the session control channel of the incoming call.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and entities involved in enabling and improving inter-domain handover. A PS based RAN such as eUTRAN can identify which potential handover to prepare and which handover to initiate, PS-PS or SR-VCC based on: (1) the UE's SR-VCC capabilities, (2) “SR-VCC indication” from the MME, (3) active VoIP bearer, and (4) target cell capabilities.

Abstract:
A network system comprising a service control device (SEM); and at least one application execution device (AEE); wherein the service control device (SEM) is adapted to receive a service request, to select an appropriate application execution device according to the service request, and to invoke the selected application execution device, and wherein the application execution device (AEE) is adapted to perform the service requested by the service request. A corresponding network control method is also provided. According to the invention, a flexible service architecture is possible.
Abstract:
A communication system comprises an IP network offering services to users and an IPT provider network providing call related functions to users. A control protocol message is received and analyzed by a respective serving entity in the IPT provider network. Depending on the analyzing result, call related functions are performed by the respective serving entity. Moreover, a received control protocol message is analyzed by the IP network and, depending on the analyzing result, services are executed by the IP network.
Abstract:
A method is provided for single radio voice call continuity from E-UTRAN to UTRAN, comprising receiving a single radio voice call continuity request for handover from packet switched access of a source radio access network to circuit switched access of a target radio access network, sending a query to determine whether last active session is a voice only or a video session, and receiving a response to said query indicating whether said last active session is a voice only or a video session.
