Abstract: A Call State Control Function (CSCF) and method of processing a call to a called mobile station (MS). The method is performed in all of the CSCFs in a third generation Internet Protocol (3G.IP) network. When an incoming call setup message such as a Fast Setup or Location Request message is received in the CSCF, the CSCF first determines with a relationship function, whether the CSCF is the Home CSCF for the called MS. If so, a first set of call processing steps are performed. If the CSCF is not the Home CSCF, the CSCF determines if it is currently serving the called MS. If the CSCF is the Serving CSCF, a second set of call processing steps are performed. If the CSCF is neither the Home CSCF nor the Serving CSCF for the called MS, a third set of call processing steps are performed.

Abstract translation: 呼叫状态控制功能（CSCF）以及处理对被叫移动台（MS）的呼叫的方法。 该方法在第三代因特网协议（3G.IP）网络中的所有CSCF中执行。 当在CSCF中接收到诸如快速设置或位置请求消息之类的呼入建立消息时，CSCF首先用关系函数确定CSCF是否是被叫MS的归属CSCF。 如果是，则执行第一组呼叫处理步骤。 如果CSCF不是本地CSCF，则CSCF确定它当前是否正在为被叫MS提供服务。 如果CSCF是服务CSCF，则执行第二组呼叫处理步骤。 如果CSCF既不是归属CSCF也不是被叫MS的服务CSCF，则执行第三组呼叫处理步骤。

Abstract: Method and apparatus relating to a wireless device supporting 3GPP 4G and 5G radio interfaces and also supporting non-3GPP access, i.e., WiFi, for selecting a security gateway of a first type e.g., ePDG or a security gateway of a second type, e.g., N3IWF for accessing to the core network of first type, e.g., EPC or of a second type e.g., SGC. As the access methods via ePDG and N3IWF are not the same, the wireless device has to determine based on information obtained by a function in the network and its capabilities whether to use an ePDG or an N3IWF for untrusted non-3GPP access. The wireless device may take into account in the selection whether it is connected to the Core network over 3GPP 4G or 5G radio access network. A corresponding apparatus claim is provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for managing subscriptions to changes in resources in a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) system at a communications node. A method for such includes receiving, at an interface, a first subscription request from a first user to an application event; determining, by a processor, if other devices are subscribed to the application event; reading, by the communications node, the first subscription request including data, semantics and syntax; storing, in a memory, binding information for the first user and the application event; and transmitting, by the interface, if, based on said step of determining, no other devices are subscribed to the application event a second subscription message toward an M2M application server (AS).

Abstract: A Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services enablement architecture for a cellular Access Network (AN) that allows the cellular AN operator to not only deploy its M2M Services Capabilities (SC) as an M2M SC Server within its network domain, but to also use its M2M SC to work as an M2M SC Proxy when communicating with an M2M Service Provider (SP) network that also deploys an M2M SC Server. The M2M SC Proxy in the cellular AN relays all signaling plane communications between an M2M device's/gateway's SC and the SP's M2M SC Server. The M2M SC Proxy provides the cellular AN with an access to all of the Across-Layers (Transport and Service Layers) information needed for the M2M services enablement in the cellular AN. This proxy-based solution allows the cellular AN to serve all types of M2M SPs, and relieves the M2M SP from the need to support different cellular AN interworking interfaces.

Abstract: A Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Services Enablement Solution offering M2M services enablement to an M2M entity that supports a 3GPP or a non-3GPP access for connection and service by a 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The solution enables an Access Network (AN) to offer a transport connection for the M2M entity over its 3GPP EPC to M2M entity's per-choice M2M Service Provider (SP). The M2M entity's first attach to the AN is forced to be directed to the Access Point Name (APN) of an AN default M2M Network Services Capabilities (N-SC) application. The AN default M2M N-SC application facilitates M2M Service Layer (SL) initial registration of the M2M entity with its per-choice M2M SP. M2M entity's future Regular Attach to the SP network may be directed to the APN of an AN-based regular M2M N-SC application that serves the M2M SP.

Abstract: Embodiments include a geomessaging server and a geomessaging client for use in a cooperative intelligent transportation system. The server sends an event notification message, via an infrastructure-based wireless communication network, to a geomessaging client associated with a vehicle that is located within a targeted one of multiple defined geographical areas. This message indicates the occurrence of an event pertinent to travel conditions in the targeted area. The server also generates a message relay request that solicits the geomessaging client to relay the message to any other vehicles within the vehicle's vicinity via a vehicular ad-hoc wireless communication network. The sever then sends the generated request to the client via the infrastructure-based network. In at least some embodiments, the geomessaging client relays the message accordingly responsive to receiving the request. This way, the other vehicles will advantageously receive the event notification message even if they are not connected to the server.

Abstract: Quality of Service functionality is provided for Machine to machine device communications that allows a single IMS session to support a plurality of different data streams. In one embodiment a single IMS session is used to support a plurality of different data streams that arise from a single application type, while in another embodiment, a single IMS session is used to support a plurality of different data streams across a plurality of different devices and applications. Through the use of a single IMS session, signaling is reduced and QoS can be offered without impacting a large number of nodes. An IMS User Agent is deployed to aid in providing this functionality.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a solution for providing IMS services and in particular mid-call services to users having circuit-switched controlled terminals and being not adapted to provide IMS services to the users. In particular, it is proposed to introduce a new node type called Mobile Access Gateway Control Function (MAGCF). This new node combines the logical functionality of a cellular switching center and the logical functionality of packet-based logic. The invention discusses a concept of the MAGCF handling mid-calls, which comprises identification of the received mid-call request, generating in accordance to the identified mid-call a corresponding message, tracking the status of the performed mid-calls.
