Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method for establishing circuit-switched (CS) communications in packet-switched (PS) multimedia networks such as IMS, and providing services via the PS networks to CS domain users. A dialog is established between terminals through the PS multimedia network. A service is provided to at least one of the terminals by way of the dialog. CS bearer information, including an indication that a communication flow is requested via a CS network, is communicated between the terminals by way of the dialog. A communication flow via the CS network is effected between the terminals as directed by the CS bearer information. IMS or other PS multimedia network services can thus be provided to users otherwise communicating via the CS-domain.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, system, client device, conference server device and computer program product of controlling media composition in a multi-party conversation involving a central control point (50). At a participant (10) of said multi-party conversation, a scope information (SoM) which specifies members of said multi-party conversation is selected and added to a session modifying request. The session modifying request is transmitted to the central control point (50) which initiates a media modification at the specified members in response to the scope information (SoM). Thereby, a client can control whether media modification is applied to the whole conference, selected participants or only between the client itself and the conference server.
Abstract:
A group detail indicator is provided that relates to group communication in a communication system. The group detail indicator provides information on at least an identity of a group and a type of the group. The group detail indicator also is attached to one of a request to initiate a group communication session and an instant messaging request.
Abstract:
A method provides information on a resource in a communication system. The method includes receiving a request from a first entity in a second entity, the request being addressed to a second resource. The method also includes providing a response to the request comprising a group indication when the second resource defines a group comprising a number of individual resources. Furthermore, user terminals and entities in a communication system are provided configured to implement the method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and system for inspecting a session in a packet data network, wherein a set-up message is selectively routed to a predetermined server node (4001, 4002) and processed there. A media resource function (3021, 3022) is controlled based on the processing so as to bind incoming and outgoing data streams in order to relay the session via the media resource function. Thereby, a mechanism for providing charging, filtering and logging services for sessions, such as peer-to-peer chat sessions, is provided without requiring any new network entity or modification of existing network specifications.
