摘要:
A method of dynamically allocating a user to one of a pool of Application Servers within an IP Multimedia Subsystem network. The pool of Application Servers is configured to provision an IP Multimedia Subsystem service. The method comprises determining a level of historical use of said service by said user. The user is then allocated to an Application Server based upon said use and the current load distribution across the Application Servers.

A method and apparatus for handling a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) OPTIONS capability query message in a communication network. A SIP proxy node receives a SIP OPTIONS message from a querying node. It sends the message to a plurality of devices, and receives a response from at least two of the plurality of devices. Each response includes an identity of the responding device and an indication of the capabilities of the responding device. Each received response is stored in a memory, and a reply message is generated. The reply message includes the identities and capabilities of all of the responding devices. This reply message is then sent to the querying node. This allows the querying node to receive capability information relating to all of the callee's devices rather than just the one that responds first.

A method and apparatus at an apparatus for handling an incoming call (2:7, 3:7, 4:7) originating from an anonymous calling party(100) where the anonymous calling party calling party(100) can be identified on the basis of a personal identity assigned to the anonymous calling party(100), wherein the personal identity is assignable to the anonymous calling party(100) after a personal identity has been assigned to the anonymous calling party in response to a manually or automatically initiated assignment instruction, but without requiring any interaction from the anonymous calling party(100). The suggested method and apparatus are applicable in any type of wireless or fixed communications network which enables a calling party to register as an anonymous calling party.

摘要:
A method of initiating the provisioning of subscriber data in at least a Home Subscriber Server of an IP Multimedia Subsystem network. The method comprises receiving an authentication request or Session Initiation Protocol message in respect of a given subscriber who is making use of a user terminal to access the IP Multimedia Subsystem network. If it is determined that subscriber data is not currently provisioned for the subscriber in a Home Subscriber Server function or receiving such a determination, the following steps are performed: 1) causing a first notification to be sent to the user terminal indicating that the registration attempt is rejected, and 2) sending a second notification to a subscriber provisioning system informing the provisioning system of the registration attempt.
