Abstract:
An apparatus for enabling source identification for single radio voice call continuity (SR-VCC) in relation to a handover between different RATs may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least receiving an indication of handover between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, defining an identity value for source identification associated with the first radio access technology by utilizing a source identification format associated with a third radio access technology, and providing the defined identity value to a network device associated with a target of the handover. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium related to mobility management. The method, apparatus, and computer readable medium may include, at least, receiving, at a network node, a terminating request from a user equipment. The method, apparatus and computer readable medium may further include, in response to receiving the terminating request, performing a restore data procedure, receiving a mobility management entity (MME) name from another network element in response to the restore data procedure, and registering the MME name to the subscriber data associated with the user equipment. The method, apparatus and computer readable medium may then include sending a paging request to the MME indicated by the MME name received from the other network element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a service control device and method for controlling service execution in a communication network. A service script for a user is loaded in response to the receipt of an incoming message, and it is checked based on a comparison of the loaded service script and the incoming message whether a service is to be triggered. If a service triggering has been determined, a service is activated in an external service execution environment. Due to the fact that the service execution is not performed in the service control point but in an external service execution environment, the service logic does not have to be provided at the service control point. It provides a flexible way to define, execute, and control user-specific, operator, and third party services combining various service capabilities.

Abstract:
Communications systems, such as the evolved packet system, may benefit from configurations and methods for a mobile switching center. For example, a mobile switching center may be configured to act as a short message service gateway. A method can include communicating, by a mobility management entity, regarding a user equipment with a home subscriber server of the user equipment. The method can also include determining whether a mobility management entity communicates with a short message service gateway mobile switching center regarding the user equipment based on communication with the home subscriber server.
Abstract:
An apparatus for enabling user control of a fallback capability for circuit switched domain support may include a processor and a memory. The memory may store executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to receive a service indication for a service related to a radio access technology not supported by a current serving domain, determine, based on previously stored user defined input, a response to the service indication with respect to conducting a fallback procedure to a radio access technology that supports the service, and execute the response based on a result of the determining.
Abstract:
A Circuit Switched (CS) domain codec list for Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SR-VCC) is provided. An apparatus providing such a list can include preparing a list of include preparing a list of circuit switched capabilities of a terminal device, sending the list to a network device during attachment, receiving the list at the network device, storing the list in the network device, sending the list to a second network device, receiving the list at the second network device, and using the list in handing over the terminal device to the second network device.

Abstract:
A method and a system for reducing transmission of parameters between a-mobile switching center and a service control point in a telecommunication network such as the Wireless Intelligent Network. The mobile switching center transmits a first signaling message containing only a first set of parameters to the service control point during initial call processing. In response, the service control point transmits a second signaling message to the mobile switching center indicating to the service switching point a second set of parameters required by the service control point with respect to the first signaling message. The service switching point then transmits the second set of parameters in a third signaling message to the service control point in response to the second signaling message. During subsequent call processing, the mobile switching center transmits to the service control point the first signaling message containing both the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters without requiring the service control point to again indicate to the mobile switching center the second set of parameters required by the service control point with respect to the first signaling message.
