摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method at a residential gateway device that registers at least one mobile phone number with the residential gateway device via a femtocell integrated with the residential gateway device when a mobile device associated with the at least one mobile phone number is within range of the femtocell, registers at least one voice over internet protocol phone number with the residential gateway device, and selectively receives and makes calls using one of a set top box registered with the residential gateway device, the mobile device registered with the femtocell, a voice over internet protocol phone corresponding to the at least one voice over internet protocol phone number. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method and an apparatus for processing a session request in an Internet Protocol (IP) network are disclosed. For example, the method receives by a Proxy-Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) a session request from a calling party, and determines if a Session Description Protocol (SDP) value of the session request is for a service provided over the IP network. The method forwards the session request towards a Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) of the calling party, if the SDP value of the session request indicates a service that is provided over the IP network, and forwards the session request to a circuit switched network, if the SDP value of the session request indicates a service that is provided over the circuit switched network.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for completing a circuit switched service call in an Internet Protocol network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a session request from a calling party to a called party, wherein the session request includes a service tag. The method determines a value of the service tag in the session request, and queries an tElephone NUmbering Mapping (ENUM) server for one or more Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) resource records associated with the called party. The method selects one of the one or more NAPTR resource records in accordance with the service tag, if the one or more NAPTR resource records associated with the called party are returned, and processes the session request using the one of the one or more NAPTR resource records that is selected.
摘要:
A system for monitoring tElephone NUmber Mapping (ENUM) performance is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an ENUM system having a subsystem to monitor one or more operations of the ENUM system, and generate a fault notice responsive to detecting one or more faults in the operations monitored. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A system and method for reverse auctioning is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a system comprising a controller element to receive from a communication device a request for information associated with one or more commercial enterprises situated in a vicinity of a location fix of the communication device, identify information of one or more commercial enterprises that substantially match the desired commercial enterprise type and that are in the vicinity of the location fix, and transmit to the communication device information of at least one of the one or more commercial enterprises identified for purposes of engaging in a reverse auction. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing signal processing in an IMS network is disclosed. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an S-CSCF having a controller element that receives an incoming call initiated by a first terminal device directed to a second terminal device, identifies in a registration table a P-CSCF in response to detecting a match between the incoming call and an entry in the registration table, and forwards the incoming call to the P-CSCF to alert the second terminal device of said incoming call. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for providing call routing in a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signaling message for a call, and determines if the signaling message contains information for determining if routing of the call requires an ENUM (tElephone Numbering Mapping) query. The method then processes the call by bypassing the ENUM query if the signaling message contains the information.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for providing privacy for a telephone number in a network are disclosed. The method receives a call associated with a disposable telephone number, and determines a call processing feature for the disposable phone number in accordance with a filtering function. The method then processes the call in accordance with the call processing feature for the disposable phone number.
摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a Telephone Number Mapping system operating in a first IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) communication system having a controller adapted to receive first contact information of a communication device registered through a terminating Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) operating in a second IMS communication system and second contact information of at least one among an Interrogating CSCF (I-CSCF) of the second IMS communication system and the terminating S-CSCF. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a telephone Number Mapping (ENUM) system having a subsystem to monitor one or more operations of the ENUM system, determine if ENUM data packets that are received are one of provisioning packets or query packets, send the query packets to a Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address of an ENUM domain name system (DNS) server when the ENUM data packets are query packets, send the provisioning packets to a VIP address of an ENUM Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server when the ENUM data packets are provisioning packets, and cause the subsystem to wait and send traffic to one LDAP server at a time after determining if the ENUM data packets are one of provisioning packets or query packets. Other embodiments are disclosed.
