Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a method for supporting network monitoring of user equipment events. Some embodiments of the method include receiving, at a home subscriber server (HSS) in a public land mobile network (PLMN), a request to monitor one or more events associated with one or more users. The request is used to configure, activate, or deactivate delivery of reports from one or more entities in the PLMN to a monitor collection entity in response to the event(s). Some embodiments of the method also include configuring one or more profiles in the HSS associated with the user(s) based on the request and providing the request to monitor the event(s) associated with the user(s) to one or more serving nodes for user equipment associated with the user(s).

Abstract: Exemplary methods and apparatuses are provided for throttling wireless traffic during congestion in radio access networks. Embodiments are provided that may assist service providers to reduce new requests for network resources during congestion and allow existing lower priority traffic to be pre-empted with a backoff time to allow a new request with higher priority traffic to be served. In response to a request for an additional connection to a radio access network from a terminal device that has one or more existing connections in the radio access network, an access network controller will compare a priority level of a requested connection to a priority level of other existing connections in the radio access network. The access network controller may reject or grant the request based on the comparison and send the terminal device a backoff time value and a congestion indicator.

Abstract: An example method is executed on at least one of Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), an enhanced SGSN (eSGSN), a Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN), Serving Gateway (SG), or a computer network node and includes receiving a data message from a connectionless device, the data message comprising at least one of a device class identifier and an application class identifier. The method further includes forwarding the data message to an application wherein the data message is forwarded based on at least one of the device class identifier and application class identifier.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently integrating SMS (short message service) messages into distributed agent call center operation. A call center application server receives an SMS message from an SMS client, then identifies the sender of the received SMS message, determining whether an SMS session associated with the sender is currently open and, if so, identifying the current SMS session agent. If an SMS session associated with the SMS message sender is not currently open, the call center application server opens an SMS session and selects a current SMS session agent, thereafter routing the SMS call to the current SMS session agent. The SMS session will remain open until closed, for example upon receipt of an SMS session closure message from the current agent.

Abstract: Apparatus and method provide location information for a calling party to a called party and/or provide a location for called party to a calling party. The information may be provided to a customer on a subscription basis or a customer may query for location information for the party at the other end of a call on an ad hoc basis (413). The customer may select the granularity (303) of the location information as well as the format (309) in which the information is sent. A party may optionally disable (403) the location ID feature so that the other person is not able to receive the party's location.

The information may be provided to a customer on a subscription basis or a customer may query for location information for the party at the other end of a call on an ad hoc basis (413). The customer may select the granularity (303) of the location information as well as the format (309) in which the information is sent. A party may optionally disable (403) the location ID feature so that the other person is not able to receive the party's location.

Abstract: Coupling together two or more communication systems that use different signaling protocols requires a protocol converter. A protocol converter is provided that includes interfaces to communications systems to be coupled together mimics the operation of the communications systems each interface is coupled to providing a seamless coupling between the systems.
