Abstract:
A system configured to receive a request to identify a quality of service (QoS) policy to be used to process traffic that is received from a user device associated with another network; obtain an interoperable QoS policy, where the interoperable QoS policy identifies a first QoS level, associated with the other network, that corresponds to a type of traffic received from the user device; obtain, from the interoperable QoS policy, a second QoS level that corresponds to the first QoS level; and send, to a device, an instruction to process the traffic based on the second QoS level.
Abstract:
A device receives a call for a user device associated with an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network, where the call includes a mobile directory number (MDN) associated with the user device, and retrieves, from a home location register (HLR), an address of a wireless intelligent network (WIN) termination trigger service control point (SCP). The device sends, to the WIN termination trigger SCP, a first message that includes the MDN, receives, from the WIN termination trigger SCP, a second message that includes steering digits as a prefix to the MDN, and generates a third message that includes a called party number set to the MDN and omits the steering digits. The device also routes, based on the steering digits, the third message to a media gateway control function/media gateway (MGCF/MGW) of the IMS network, where the MGCF/MGW further processes the call.
Abstract:
Method and system for a domain name translation service. A plurality of application servers associated with at least one domain name corresponding to at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address are provided. A domain name system (DNS) server hierarchy is configured for providing, based on DNS translation information associated with the requested domain name stored therein, an IP address or a list of IP addresses of the associated application server(s) as a response to a DNS query for a domain name. In addition, a dynamic traffic controller is configured for monitoring the operational status of the application servers and requesting a DNS update to the DNS translation information stored in the DNS server hierarchy based on the operational status of the application servers.
Abstract:
Emergency call backs may be placed to a user device in a manner that bypasses certain features (e.g., call forwarding) that may be enabled by the device. A method may include receiving an emergency call from a user device; and creating, in response to the emergency call, an emergency session associated with the user device, where the creating includes forwarding the call to a public safety access point (PSAP) server that handles emergency calls. The method may further include receiving a call, such as an emergency call back call, destined for the user device; determining that the emergency session has not expired when an elapse time associated with the emergency session is less than a threshold; and forwarding, to the user device, the call, as a return call from the PSAP server, based on the determination that the emergency session has not expired.
Abstract:
Location-based calling may be provided for callers that connect to a wireless network using femtocells. A network device may receive a call initiation message including an identifier of a femtocell through which the call was placed. The network device may obtain an identifier of a macro cell base station that serves a geographical coverage area that includes the femtocell and replace the identifier of the femtocell, in the message, with the identifier of the macro cell base station, to obtain a modified message. The modified message may be forwarded through the network to be processed as if the caller placed the location-based call through the macro cell base station.
Abstract:
Exemplary inter-network profile repository interworking systems and methods are disclosed. An exemplary system includes an interface facility that interfaces with a home subscriber server (“HSS”) of a long term evolution (“LTE”) communications network and a home location register (“HLR”) of an alternate communications network, the HSS and the HLR maintaining separate profiles associated with a user device configured to access the LTE communications network and the alternate communications network. The exemplary system further includes a synchronization facility communicatively coupled to the interface facility and that synchronizes profile data associated with the user device across the separate profiles maintained by the HSS and the HLR. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, for various telemetry applications, such as meter reading, alarm applications or the like, utilize data communication service via a public mobile/wireless communication network, such as the short message service (SMS). However, such M2M communications may involve a large number of clients. To avoid the need to assign a telephone number, such as a mobile directory number (MDN) or the like, to each of the many remote M2M clients, routing through the network is based on another type of MSID (Mobile Station Identifier), such as the MIN (Mobile Identifier Number) or the IMSI (International Mobile Station Identifier) of the client. SMS messages transmissions originating at a client use a short code for the M2M application address, and SMS messages intended to terminate at a client use the MIN or IMSI as the routing address for the M2M device.
Abstract:
A system may include one or more network devices. The one or more network devices may receive a short message service (SMS) message intended for an access terminal, embed the SMS message into a data message, determine whether a data session exists with the access terminal, the data session occurring over a data network, transmit the data message to the access terminal via the data network when the data session exists, and transmit the SMS message via a voice network when the data session does not exist.
Abstract:
A method may include receiving, at a serving call session control function (S-CSCF) address database, key information associated with a user device from an S-CSCF. The key information includes a unique identifier associated with the user device, an assigned S-CSCF address serving the user device, and a validity period of session initiation protocol (SIP) registration for the user device with the assigned S-CSCF. The method may further include determining whether a data record based on the key information exists in the S-CSCF address database. Each data record in the S-CSCF address database is searchable based on each unique identifier to provide an S-CSCF address of a serving S-CSCF associated with a corresponding user device.
