Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of registering a communication client at a communication server, wherein the communication client is associated to a mobile terminal and wherein the communication server is associated to a mobile switching node of a circuit switched network, the method comprises the steps of: initiation a connection between the communication server and the communication client, sending identification information to the communication server by the communication client via the connection, interrogating an authentication module of the mobile switching node to perform a user authentication by the communication server, fetching subscriber information from a database by the communication server, and sending subscriber information to the communication client via the connection.
Abstract:
The invention proposes several methods for codec handling. In specific, methods involving providing a supported codec list of a Call Control Server are described. A node receives information, whether a terminal supports a wideband codec, wherein the information is received in call set up signaling from the terminal of the subscriber. Furthermore, configuration information is retrieved, whether a Radio Access Node supports the wideband codec. Additionally, information is retrieved, whether a media gateway supports the wideband codec, wherein the information is either provided by the operator or retrieved from the media gateway (MGW1, MGW2, MGWx). The information is analyzed and in response to the analysis a supported codec list is provided. Furthermore, alternative embodiments and devices adapted for the methods are disclosed.
Abstract:
A routing system transfers data packets of real time communication services of a call, and includes a converter receiving media gateway control protocol encoded first control data and processing the first control data to obtain second control data. The system, based on the first control data, allocates a first transport address for a first routing port for incoming data packets, and allocates a second transport address for a second routing port for outgoing data packets. A central control entity controls a central control entity controlled network of forwarding elements, and determines a static pathway through the network of forwarding elements based on the second control data. A first end of the static pathway corresponds to the first routing port and a second end corresponds to the second routing port. The central control entity controls a data plane flow of a stream of the data packets along the static pathway.
Abstract:
A call to a dual mode user equipment is handled by using a further access network from cellular telecommunications access network. An indication of an incoming call to the user equipment is received in a control node that the device can be reached via a device using session initiation protocol (SIP) via the cellular telecommunication access network. The device using SIP sends messages to a device that transforms messages sent according to call control signaling protocol used in the cellular telecommunications network into messages according to SIP. A route to the SIP device is linked to a device that transforms user plane according to protocol in the cellular telecommunications access network into user plane according to internet protocol and vice versa.
Abstract:
A method for configuring service settings for a mobile subscriber in a mobile communication network wherein the mobile subscriber is associated with a first instant communication client which is adapted to communicate via an instant messaging protocol with an instant communication server, and wherein the instant communication server is associated to a mobile switching center of the mobile communication network. The method includes: sending, by the first instant communication client, an instant service command via the instant communication server to a second instant communication client, associated with the mobile switching center; converting, by the mobile switching center, the instant service command into a service setting message; and sending the service setting message to a user database to modify service settings for the mobile subscriber.
Abstract:
The present invention proposes a solution for providing IMS services to users having circuit-switched controlled terminals. In particular, it is proposed, in order to allow IMS to take the full call and service control, to combine circuit-switched and packet-based multimedia functionality in a new node type called Mobile Access Gateway Control Function (MAGCF). In particular the present invention provides a method for ensuring that the MAGCF node acts as a roaming anchor point in order to enforce the handling of originating and terminating calls in the IMS.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling, by a central control entity (200), a topology change in a network having a ring topology with a plurality of ring nodes (110-150) via which data packets of various data transfers are transmitted to their corresponding destination nodes. The method comprising the steps of receiving information about a topology change of the ring topology of the network, determining which of the data transfers are affected by the topology change, determining, for each of the affected data transfers, a new path through the network, determining new switching instructions for ring nodes (110-150) that are affected by the new paths determined for the affected data transfers, and transmitting the new switching instructions to the affected ring nodes (110-150).
Abstract:
A Method for controlling an establishment or a modification of a connection according to a packet based transmission scheme in a communication network (100) comprising a plurality of nodes (102-112) is proposed. The connection (113) to be established or modified comprises or utilizes one or more entities potentially causing a transmission delay for a transmission over the connection. An indicator indicating an expected accumulated delay for the connection (124) is sent between nodes controlling the connection and one of the nodes controlling the connection checks the indicator when it performs a decision on the packetisation time to be applied for the connection.
Abstract:
A technique for controlling set up of a terminating call to a UE in a CSFB situation involving a first MSC paging the UE and a second MSC where the UE is performing a Location Update is described. A method implementation of this technique comprises receiving, from an HLR, a PRN message and forwarding information received in the PRN message to the second MSC.
Abstract:
A method of interworking CS (Circuit Switched) video calls with video calls using IP multimedia protocols is provided. According to the method, an interworking function receives signalling comprising an indication of the codec capability of a CS terminal involved in the CS video call, as part of a MONA (Media Oriented Negotiation Acceleration) negotiation. Thereafter IP codec negotiation is initiated. And thereafter the MONA negotiation is continued and/or completed. Thus the codec capabilities and/or preferences of the CS terminal can be taken into account during the IP codec negotiation with the IP endpoint.
