Abstract:
A server device may receive a call setup request from a first user device; provide the call setup request towards a second user device; receive a provisional response message based on providing the call setup request; and provide the provisional response message towards the first user device. The first or second user device may be connected to a network device to provide or receive the call setup request, the provisional, a response to the call setup request, or an acknowledgement. The server device may provide, based on receiving the call setup request or the provisional response, one or more messages towards the first user device or towards the second user device to prevent the first or second user device from disconnecting from the network device, to reduce a delay in receiving by the first user device, the provisional response and the response to the call setup request.
Abstract:
A system includes a network device receives a request for media content from a plurality of user devices and transmits the media content in accordance with at least one of a unicast mode and a broadcast mode. A content monitoring device counts a number of requests for the media content received at the network device and selects the mode of the network device based on the number of requests received. A method includes receiving a request for media content from a plurality of user devices, counting a number of requests for media content received at the network device, selecting at least one of a unicast mode and a broadcast mode of the network device based on the number of requests received at the network device, and transmitting the media content in accordance with the selected mode.
Abstract:
Capability information, relating to hardware and/or software capabilities of different types of mobile devices, may be used to tailor services provided to the mobile device based on the particular type of mobile device. In one implementation, a device, such as an application server that provide services to mobile devices, may: receive a request from a mobile device, for services; obtaining information indicating a type of the mobile device; obtain, based on the type of mobile device, information indicating capabilities of the mobile device; and provide the services to the mobile device, in which the provided services are tailored for the mobile device based on the capabilities of mobile device.
Abstract:
An access control device may include logic configured to receive a request from a user device to set up a packet connection for an emergency session to a packet data network via an access network. The logic may be further configured to determine a location associated with the user device; identify a public safety answering point associated with the determined location; determine whether a connection capacity associated with the identified public safety answering point has been reached; and reject the request to set up the packet connection for the emergency session, in response to determining that the connection capacity associated with the identified public safety answering point has been reached.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide an emergency call support service in which a network device of a visited network obtains user profile data of a wireless device from a home network of the wireless device, and provides the user profile data to a location server of the visited network. The emergency call support service allows an emergency call, when initiated by a roaming subscriber of the wireless device via the visited network, to include the user profile data and be provided to a public safety access point.
Abstract:
A server device may receive a message from a first user device, the message being destined for a second user device; determine a call session control function (CSCF) server device associated with the second user device; and output, based on the determining, the message to the CSCF server device.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to store packet data network (PDN) connection data pertaining to a user equipment connected to a network; store locale-to-packet data network gateway (PGW) data, wherein the locale-to-PGW data includes mappings between locales and PGWs to be used when the user equipment is located in the locales; receive a locale update pertaining to the user equipment; query the locale-to-PGW data in response to the locale update; determine, based on a result of the query, whether the user equipment is to be re-anchored to a different PGW than a PGW to which the user equipment is currently anchored; invoke a re-anchoring procedure, in response to a determination that the user equipment is to be re-anchored to the different PGW; and omit to invoke the re-anchoring procedure, in response to a determination that the user equipment is not to be re-anchored.
Abstract:
A device may determine a first baseline measurement. The device may determine a first location associated with the device. The device may store information identifying the first baseline measurement and the first location associated with the device. The device may determine a second baseline measurement. The device may determine that the second baseline measurement differs from the first baseline measurement by a threshold quantity. The device may determine a second location associated with the device based on determining that the second baseline measurement differs from the first baseline measurement by the threshold quantity. The second location may be different from the first location. The device may provide information associated with the second baseline measurement and/or the second location.

Abstract:
Distinct user devices may sometimes share a telephone number. Techniques described herein may provide for the assigning of a temporary telephone number for a user device, which shares a telephone number with other user devices, in certain situations, such as when the user device places a call to an emergency call center. The temporary telephone number may allow the user device to be reached and/or located by the emergency call center.
