To address the need to have new techniques that are able to improve handoff decision-making, the network may employ a method such as that depicted in diagram 200 or 300. In one method, the network receives (201) a user handoff approval indication from a UE regarding handoff of the UE to a target cell and then determines (202) whether to allow the handoff based on this user handoff approval indication. In another method, the network compares (301) attributes of a target cell to stored user handoff policies associated with a UE to determine a user policy approval indication regarding handoff to the target cell and then determines (302) whether to allow the handoff based on this policy approval indication. These methods afford users greater control in managing handoffs in the more varied and less uniform networking landscapes that technologies such as femto cell technology are creating.

Systems and methods are described for multiple leg call processing, in which the timing of a plurality of outgoing call legs is determined according to a plurality of parameters in order to achieve near simultaneous notification of a group of member directory numbers. The parameters can include static information obtained from a network database such as end user device technology type, call forwarding disposition, answering machine or voicemail service, geographic distance to the member directory number, and/or signaling type and carrier or other local information. Actual setup times may be measured for use in determining the timing of the outgoing call leg processing, which may be used alone or in combination with the local and static information parameters to determine the outgoing call schedule for routing the call to multiple member directory numbers.

An apparatus for obtaining a zip code of where a user is at the moment is provided. The apparatus comprises: a core network; an access server operatively connected to the core network providing network access for the communication device; and a zip code location database server operatively connected to the core network, wherein the zip code location database server is adapted to store zip code location information for one or more IDs in the core network.

A method of synchronizing ported number data within a telecommunications network in which a number portability administration center has received a request from a subscriber having a directory number (DN) to port is provided. The method comprises the steps of: a Number Portability data manager sending a subscription request to the NPDB to receive future notifications about subscriber ports to/from specific Location Routing Number(s); the NPDB honoring these subscriptions when a user ports their DN. If this is the initial LRN assigned to the DN, then the NPDB derives the LRN of the code holder. If the LRN from which the subscriber ported has a subscription, then the NPDB sends a notification message to the NP data manager with which the LRN is associated indicating that the DN ported out. If the LRN to which the subscriber ported has a subscription, then the NPDB sends a notification message to the NP data manager with which the LRN is associated indicating that the DN ported in. The method further comprises receiving a notification message for the LRN at a number portability data manager, wherein: if the notification message indicates that a DN has ported in, then the number portability data manager sends a request to an ENUM (telephone number mapping) server to turn the entry for that DN on; and if the notification message indicates that a DN has ported out, then the number portability data manager sends requests to the ENUM server and to a subscriber database to turn the entry for that DN off.

A system and method of call delivery from an Originating End to a Terminating End in a telecommunications network is provided in which the Calling Party can direct the call to be forwarded directly to the Called Party's Call Forwarding Destination. An Originator Initiated Direct To Call Forwarding Destination indicator is associated with the call and sent from the Originating End of the telecommunications network to the Terminating End for notifying the Terminating End that the call is to be sent directly to the Called Party's Call Forwarding Destination.

A method of processing a call by proxy in a network is provided. The method comprises: receiving a request from a first party for a proxy call on behalf of a second party at a first call control entity, whether or not an active call exists between the first and second parties; signaling the proxy call through the network; and establishing the proxy call to an appropriate destination, such as an emergency call center near the second party.

Systems are presented in which a network database is populated and updated with delay values representing measured network delays in routing calls between call control entities of a communications network. The network entities can query the database to make informed decisions regarding call routing based on the delay values, and the database entries are provided by the network elements, which measure actual or pseudo calls routed in the network.
