摘要:
A method and apparatus for managing ENUM records is disclosed. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a broker having a detection element that detects a Resource Record (RR) submission made by an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), and a comparison element that retrieves from an object-oriented data storage element a zone associated with the RR, identifies a Domain Name Server (DNS) responsible for processing said zone, compares the zone with a volatile memory of the DNS, and updates the volatile memory according to one or more differences detected. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing network origination calls in a hybrid network. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network management system (NMS) having a detection module to detect at a first terminal a network origination call directed to a second terminal, a search module to search a terminal type for each of the first and second terminals according to information supplied in the network origination call, and an enablement module to enable at least one media gateway to provide communication services to each of the first and second terminals identified as a circuit-switched terminal by its corresponding terminal type. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, one or more components for receiving a call request at a first server from a first end user device, transmitting the call request from a first server to an intermediate server for establishing a voice or video call over an IP multimedia subsystem between the first end user device and a second end user device via a second server, and routing the voice or video call request from the first server to the second server using a second IP address when an undesired condition is determined to be associated with the IP multimedia subsystem. The second IP address can be obtained from a group of IP addresses stored in a memory of the first server and the group of IP addresses can be associated with other servers. Other embodiments are disclosed.
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.
摘要:
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.
