摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for directing/redirecting service data flows to Packet Data Networks (PDN). A subscriber database (e.g., HSS) stores direction/redirection criteria along with mapping data that includes information for directing/redirecting service data flows to PDNs. An element of a network may then query the subscriber database to direct or redirect service data flows to PDNs. The subscriber database receives a query from a network element, and identifies the direction/redirection criteria and mapping data for the data service. The subscriber database then transmits the direction/redirection criteria and mapping data to the network element in response to the query to allow the network element to direct/redirect a service data flow to a PDN for the data service.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for performing Policy and Charging Control (PCC) for packet core networks. One embodiment comprises a PCC architecture that includes an online charging system (OCS). The OCS receives a request for charging rules for an initial data service from a PCRF. The request from the PCRF includes a service indicator for the initial data service. The OCS selects a charging method for the initial data service based on the service indicator, and transmits a response to the PCRF that includes the selected charging method. The PCRF may then make a PCC decision based on the charging method selected by the OCS, and a PCEF may enforce PCC rules for the initial data service. If there is a service changing during a data session, the OCS selects a charging method for the new data service, and the PCRF updates the PCC rules accordingly.

摘要： In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, whenever an AS queries an HSS for a user's S-CSCF address, the AS stores the mobile user's S-CSCF address along with a time stamp, preferably within a database at the AS. When the AS then receives a service request requiring the use of the end user's S-CSCF address, the AS reuses the mobile user's S-CSCF address cached at the AS local database. The AS can also determine whether to reuse the user's cached S-CSCF address based on the policy of the service provider and the timestamp of the cached S-CSCF address. The AS can develop a time window for reusing the cached S-CSCF address based with policies.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling congestion in a Radio Access Network (RAN). One embodiment comprises a charging system of a network. The charging system receives a traffic report for a RAN indicating a congestion condition in an area of the RAN. The charging system then identifies a subscriber in the area of the RAN, identifies a service plan for the subscriber, and generates modified rules that deviate from predefined rules in the service plan of the subscriber in response to the congestion condition. The charging system then provides the modified rules to a network entity, such as a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), that performs policy and charging control for a service requested by the subscriber.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for providing service management across different technology networks. A centralized telecom serving system (TSS) includes a plurality of interface gateways, a central adapter, and a common interface. When in operation, a first interface gateway receives a first service request from a first network, and converts the first service request from a signaling interface used in the first network to the common interface. The central adapter receives the first service request over the common interface, and processes service management logic to identify multiple services that trigger on the first service request and determine a sequence for providing the multiple services. For each service, the central adapter generates a second service request in the common interface, and transmits the second service request to a second interface gateway that is coupled to a second network.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for interworking WAP text messages between 3GPP and 3GPP2 networks. One embodiment comprises a system that receives a WAP text message from a sending entity that supports 3GPP standards, where the WAP text message is in a 3GPP format. The system determines that a receiving entity for the WAP text message supports 3GPP2 standards, and converts the WAP text message from the 3GPP format to a 3GPP2 format. The system then transmits the WAP text message in the 3GPP2 format to the receiving entity.

摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatuses for selectively exposing subscriber data include maintaining subscriber data at a digital data storage, wherein the digital data storage is protected by a service provider firewall. A request to expose subscriber data from a third-party requestor is received. Selected subscriber data and a security condition associated with the request are determined, wherein the security condition is based on an identity of the third-party requestor. The selected subscriber data is retrieved if the security condition is satisfied, and the selected subscriber data is transmitted to the third-party requestor.

摘要： In a telecommunications network, method and apparatus for blocking unwanted messages (spam). Messages are first examined by a fast process which uses rules and data tables to determine whether a message can be passed or is potentially a spam message. If the message is potentially a spam message, the message content is analyzed by a deep process. Advantageously, most messages can be passed or blocked quickly and extensive data processing is required only for the few messages which cannot be categorized by the fast process.

摘要： Communication networks and associated methods and systems are disclosed that provide dynamically-configurable maximum durations for sessions over a communication network. For a session, the communication network determines the traditional static maximum duration and the calculated maximum duration (for prepaid sessions). In addition to these maximum durations, the communication network also determines a dynamic maximum duration for the session based on duration criteria. The communication network then selects one of the maximum durations based on the duration criteria, and monitors the session based on the selected maximum duration. By defining the duration criteria in a particular manner, a new dynamically-configured maximum duration for sessions may be used instead of relying only on the static maximum duration and the calculated maximum duration (for prepaid sessions).
