Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from being able to communicate without requiring certain identifiers to be assigned. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from machine type communication using mobile originated short messaging service without a mobile station international subscriber directory number. A method can include preparing, at a user equipment, a mobile originated short message service message. The method can also include identifying, in the message, a particular external identifier from a set of external identifiers assigned to an application.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate mechanisms for call handling. For example, certain internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) based emergency services networks may benefit from appropriate initiation of conference calls and of handling of transfers of such calls. A method can include establishing, at an egress node of a network, a media path between an ingress node of the network and the egress node. The method can also include determining that a conference call corresponding to the media path is being invoked. The method can further include contacting, by the egress node, a conference node to establish the conference call.
Abstract:
Monitoring and reporting for policy enforcement may benefit various communication systems. For example, multi-operator wholesale networks may benefit from enablement of monitoring and reporting for dynamic policy enforcement. A method may include receiving a credit control request at a policy control function, wherein the request comprises an international mobile subscriber identity. The method may also include querying, by the policy control function, a home subscriber server with a query, wherein the query comprises the international mobile subscriber identity. The method may further include obtaining a tenant identifier corresponding to the international mobile subscriber identity from the home subscriber server in response to the query. The method may additionally include responding with a response to the credit control request based on the tenant identifier.
