    摘要: A policy server and a charging server authorize and authenticate data traffic bypassing a mobile network. The policy server stores subscriber records, each containing one a mobile subscriber identifier corresponding to a communication device. The policy server receives a control session request from a gateway server in a fixed broadband network, including a broadband subscriber identifier and a first network address. Responsive to receiving the request, the policy server creates and stores a control session record including the broadband subscriber identifier and the first network address. The policy server receives an access session request from an application server in a multimedia network, including a mobile subscriber identifier and a second network address. The policy server determines whether the first network address matches the second network address; and when the determination is affirmative, updates the control session record to insert the mobile subscriber identifier.

    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for monitoring error correction data are provided. The method comprises receiving an authorization request defining a media session between an AF server and a mobile device from the AF server. The authorization request contains a media packet flow identifier and a corresponding forward error correction (FEC) packet flow identifier. The method includes deploying policy rules for the media session to a gateway server, the policy rules including the media packet flow identifier and the FEC packet flow identifier; receiving periodic reports from the gateway server, the reports including packet counts for each of the media packet flow and the FEC packet flow; determining whether bandwidth consumed by the FEC packet flow exceeds a predetermined threshold; and when the determination is affirmative, sending an action request to the AF server.

    摘要: A charging server stores records corresponding to each of multiple subscriber identifiers associated with respective mobile devices. At least one record contains a counter value corresponding to one of multiple counter identifiers. The charging server receives a request from a policy server via a network, containing one of the subscriber identifirs and a session identifier. Responsive to receiving the request, the charging server determines whether the request includes any counter identifiers. When the request does not include any counter identifiers, the charging server determines whether the record corresponding to the received subscriber identifier contains any counter values. When the record includes at least one counter value, the charging server establishes a communications session with the policy server and transmits the at least one counter value to the policy server. When the record does not include any counter values, the charging server establishes a communications session with the policy server.

    摘要: A method of adapting quotas for a shared resource in a network includes: retrieving, at a charging server, a usage level and a time period for each of a plurality of communication sessions associated with the shared resource, the communication sessions corresponding to respective client devices connected to the network; determining, at the charging server, whether the shared resource can support each of the communication sessions for the corresponding retrieved usage level and time period; when the determination is negative, determining a common reduced time period for each of the communication sessions at the charging server; and at the charging server, when the reduced time period exceeds a predefined threshold, allocating quotas to each of the communication sessions from the shared resource based on the usage levels and the reduced time period.

    摘要: Disclosed is an enhanced system and method for bridging calls across telecommunications networks, including an illustrative application of the invention as it relates to international roaming among prepaid wireless subscribers. For instance, whenever wireless subscribers roam internationally they may invoke the system by keying in an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) short code followed by the number to be dialed. Said subscriber's prepaid account is then decremented in real-time (until such account is fully depleted). A key feature of the disclosure generally is the bridging of the call legs between the wireless subscriber initiating the telephone communication and that of the receiving party through a series of general purpose databases and computers without requiring modifications to existing core network or handset infrastructure.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for providing a complete architectural and procedural solution to wireless subscriber loyalty issues. A flexible promotion creation environment allows mobile phone operators to rapidly create and deploy various incentive programs and other such loyalty schemes; together with a data mining and profiling method for tracking, monitoring and analysing subscriber (or aggregate) usage information associated with given promotions. The proposed data mining and profiling method purposely incents specific subscriber behaviors by triggering a point-based reward scheme based on the dynamic screening of event records which are correlated with incented behaviors. Wherein a threshold is assigned based on usage information for a particular promotion; upon realization of which, the subscriber is, immediately notified of the reward through a plurality of means including e-mail, voice notification and by way of Short Message Service (SMS) at their wireless handset.
