Publication number: 20230412473Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for instantiation of network service (NS) or virtualized network function (VNF) are disclosed. A virtualized network function manager (VNFM) receives, from a first network management entity, a first request for instantiating or changing a VNF instance. The first request comprises scaling information for at least one scalable VNF deployment unit (VDU) included in the VNF instance. The VNFM instantiates or changes the VNF instance based on the scaling information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ping ZHOU, Magnus BJÖRKQVIST, Oktávián Klaudiusz PAPP, Arturo MARTIN DE NICOLAS, Rajavarma BHYRRAJU, Cristina BADULESCU

Patent number: 10862842Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that enable a client device to efficiently identify mailboxes containing objects of interest in a server-based message store. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a client device comprises sending a single request to a server for a list of mailboxes maintained by the server for a user that contain objects flagged with any of one or more flags specified in the single request. The method of operation of the client device further comprises, in response to the single request, receiving, from the server, the list of mailboxes maintained by the server for the user that contain objects flagged with any of the one or more flags specified in the single request. The method also comprises processing the list of mailboxes. In this manner, the client device is enabled to quickly and efficiently identify which mailboxes of the user contain objects of interest.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Dave Kell, Cristina Badulescu, Nancy M.

Publication number: 20200187000Abstract: This specification presents methods and apparatus in a device and a network node implementing a Bootstrapping Server Function, BSF, for enabling multiple service functions/clients in the device sharing a common public identity and each performing its own registration to one or more (IMS) core network, to use a common bootstrapping of application security based on the Generic Bootstrapping Architecture, GBA/Generic Authentication Architecture, GAA, infrastructure. Therefore, when using Extensible Markup Language, XML, Configuration Access Protocol, XCAP, or the likes, the multiple service functions in the device use the same authentication method for all XCAP traffic or the likes, such as GBA/GAA but enabling it to use the same key sets (e.g., same B-TID).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Cristina BADULESCU, Sorin SURDILA, Ralf KELLER

Patent number: 10498791Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relates to methods, and apparatuses for exchanging the preferred MSRP chunk sizes between an end-point and a remote end-point, directly or via a server using SDP offer/answer mechanism. The preferred MSRP chunk size may be the maximum allowed MSRP chunk size for the end-point and may be determined in accordance with network/link conditions and/or internal configuration. The end-point uses its preferred MSRP chunk size and the received preferred MSRP chunk size of the remote end-point to determine the MSRP chunk size that will be used to segment the messages from the end-point to the remote-end-point over the MSRP session. The preferred MSRP chunk size can be renegotiated during an ongoing MSRP session.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Cristina Badulescu, Nancy M.

Publication number: 20110022580Abstract: Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for optimizing network resource usage and facilitating exchange of user capabilities information. This can occur by creating a view which shows all of the methods or services which are available for contacting a particular user, which information is viewable by other users of the network. This then improves communications by reducing the potential for one user to attempt to communicate with another user via a method which a user does not support.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2009Publication date: January 27, 2011Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Cristina Badulescu, Guillermo Saavedra
