摘要:
Communication devices capable of at least two communication modes (e.g. WLAN, WMAN and WWAN and/or wired modes) can be configured to optimize communications using a policy-based mechanism to configure connections and routes. A rules engine evaluates its policies on a state change (e.g. network availability, time of day, etc.) to configure a routing table and, together with communication APIs, provides an appropriate connection to an application for its respective communications. Policies may be responsive to various factors such as Radio Access Technology (high/low bandwidth), cost, presence, time of day, location, application type and quality of service (QoS) requirements among others to optimize communications.

A system comprising an inter-RAT/inter-network redundancy controller (IRC) is provided. The IRC is configured to communicate with a source gateway in communication with a source radio access network (RAN) using a first radio access technology (RAT). The IRC is further configured to communicate with a target gateway in communication with a target RAN using a second RAT. The IRC is further configured to promote a handover of a user equipment from the source RAN connected to the source gateway to the target RAN connected to the target gateway when the source gateway fails.

Methods and apparatus for use in processing Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) calls in a network environment which includes a circuit-switched (CS) network and an Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) network. In one illustrative technique, a SIP Register message is sent from a mobile communication device to the IMS network for registration of the mobile device. A SIP 200 OK message is received by the mobile device from the IMS network in response to sending the SIP Register message. The SIP 200 OK message has one or more variable call parameters or a network address at which to obtain the variable call parameters. The variable call parameters may include an E.164 number which may be dynamically assigned to the mobile device by the IMS network, and/or a time or timer value which defines a time period for which the E.164 number remains assigned to the mobile device. Other information may be included such as preferred access network/technology information. The variable call parameters are stored in memory of the mobile device and utilized for processing each one of a plurality of SIP calls involving the mobile device. After registration, the mobile device may initialize a timer with the timer value, run the timer and, when processing a SIP call, cause a CS call setup message which includes the E.164 number to be sent to the IMS network for routing of the call if the timer has not yet expired. If the timer has expired, the mobile device may refrain from utilizing the deassigned E.164 number in the CS call setup message and alternatively obtain and utilize a new E.164 number or an altogether different technique for processing of the SIP call. Alternative techniques for obtaining parameters and formatting the data are also described.

A method for conveying information related to a transport addressing scheme is provided. A user agent (UA) is also provided that is configured to convey information related to a transport addressing scheme. The UA includes a processor configured to include in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message an indicator related to the transport addressing scheme.

An embodiment provides a user equipment that includes a processor configured to receive a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) NOTIFY message transmitted by a network component as a result of a registration event. The SIP NOTIFY message contains at least a portion of information included in a first SIP message sent between a first user equipment and the network component. Another embodiment provides method and apparatus for a network node to determine whether filter criteria include one or more indicators that specify the need for information, and including in a second SIP message the information specified by the one or more indicators.
