Publication number: 20220337635Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) is used in IMS in order to provide a mechanism to forward (Internet Protocol) IP packets and provide a simplified solution to the complex signaling path of IMS according to directives from an SDN Controller. SDN is used in at least three particular scenarios. In the first scenario, communications are simplified using SDN directed signaling disaggregation. In the second scenario, SDN is used to direct media function chaining. In the third scenario, the system can be used as an SDN based media relay.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Reuben Klein, Brian Dean Freeman, Larry B.

Patent number: 5740234Abstract: To provide a complete picture of the calling pattern of calls placed to a destination entity which permits the destination entity's routing plan to be adequately administered, a) information is collected about all call attempts to particular, specified dialed numbers even before they are switch routed, including even calls terminated before a network control point (NCP) returns instructions as to where to route the call and, if applicable, after they are rerouted and b) the collected information is periodically delivering as it becomes available, for use by the destination entity, without requiring the calls being monitored to have been terminated. Thus, for example, information is collected about calls being held by the NCP in a queue even before the calls are NCP routed. The collected information also includes information for calls that were never routed, because they were terminated before routing, independent of whether they were placed in a queue.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1992Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: AT&T Corp.Inventors: James Edward Black, Bret Allen Cooper, Brian Dean Freeman, Donald M.
