Abstract:
In one aspect, there is provided a method for the management of Short Message SM delivery in a mobile communication system comprising an Overlaying, e.g. IP-based or CS fallback in Evolved Packet System based, SM delivery network accessed via a mobile or fixed Access Network AN which is transparent to the Overlaying SM Delivery procedure, said method comprising, in an embodiment: informing an AN entity capable of detecting User Equipment UE activity over said AN, of unsuccessful SM delivery attempt due to not reachable UE, upon detection of UE activity over said AN for said UE, said AN entity informing an entity in charge of requesting new SM delivery attempt when said UE is again reachable.
Abstract:
A method, user equipment and a network entity are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: determining which of a plurality of packet bearers carry voice media components for handover between a packet-switched network and a circuit-switched network to ensure voice call continuity; and notifying an entity that will said enforce voice call continuity for which of said plurality of packet bearers carry said voice media components.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided a method for session transfer between Access Networks for a User Equipment UE, said method including insertion in a signaling path of a Service Continuity Application Server anchoring said session in IMS, said method including: insertion of a Service Continuity Application Server V-SCC-AS located in a Visited PLMN V-PLMN for a UE roaming in said V-PLMN.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, there is provided an architecture for the support of CS domain services over a Packet only mobile system such as the Evolved Packet System access, in a mobile communication system comprising an Evolved Packet System (EPS) and a CS domain in turn comprising at last one Mobile Switching Center MSC, said architecture comprising at least one Interworking Function IWF, such that IWF is perceived as a Radio Network Controller RNC or a Base Station Controller BTS by a MSC, and as an Application Server by the EPS.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for a handover of a UE (User Equipment) currently engaged in a voice call. More particularly, the invention relates to a handover from 1) a packet based radio where Voice Service is provided via VoIP over the radio and is controlled via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based signalling (e.g. LTE, E-UTRAN or WIMAX radio) to 2) a radio access network where Voice Service can be only provided via circuit switched (CS) domain (a visited mobile switching centre (VMSC) is needed) such as legacy 3GPP UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN)/GSM/Edge Radio Access Network (GERAN) coverage. A MSC-S entity acting as a Packet Core Control Node on a Packet Switched (PS) network and as an Anchor Visited Mobile Switching Centre (VMSC) for a handover to a Circuit Switched (CS) network on the CS domain side is proposed, the MSC-S preparing a new path with a remote UE-B and a CS domain handover towards a target legacy radio coverage before requesting a UE-A to execute the handover.
Abstract:
One object of the present invention is a method for for configuring a cellular mobile communication network with Tracking Areas, comprising: a step of configuring a Radio Access Network entity, with at least one Tracking Area it is to be associated with, a step of registering a thus configured Radio Access Network entity onto a Mobility Management function and/or Paging Coordination function, for said at least one Tracking Area.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for facilitating WLAN access, both trusted and un-trusted, to a mobile core network. A device identity attribute is created and incorporated into the authentication and response messaging to enable the device identity to be promulgated in the communication network.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a radio network controller (BSCI), for a radio access communication network, comprising processing means (MT), upon receiving from an alarm center (CA) a message of a first SMS-CB type associated with a selected class of alarm of a selected level, containing an alarm text message addressed to mobile terminals (T) located in at least one selected cell controlled thereby, for interrupting transmission to the mobile terminals, located in each selected cell, of any message of SMS-CB type associated with a class of level lower than that of the selected alarm class, and optionally all other communication of said terminals (for example, telephone calls thereof), so that the first message may be broadcast to the mobile terminals which are located in each selected cell controlled thereby and so that some at least of said mobile terminals should transmit an alarm signal (for example radio) and display the alarm text message contained in the first message.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is a method for the handling of user access-dependent information in a system comprising a core network subsystem accessed by an access network, said method comprising: a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem obtains user access-dependent information from said access network, a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem signals to another entity, in the context of a core network subsystem procedure relating to a user's terminal, user access-dependent information obtained from said access network, a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem uses user access-dependent information obtained from said access network, for control of service delivery to said user.
Abstract:
A method of managing a token in a telecommunications network to allocate an exclusive right to one user out of a group of users who can request simultaneously to benefit from the same service; the method consisting in: a requesting user (EUA) sending (1) a token request to an application server (AS); the application server (AS) then allocating (2) a single token to a requesting user; the requesting user who has received the token then sending (3) data to a media server (MS) suitable for transporting the data; said user (EUA) sending (4) a token-release request to the application server (AS); and finally said application server (AS) broadcasting (5) a message to all of the users (EUA, . . . , EUD) indicating that the token is available.
