  • Patent number: 9036627
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling customer premise Public Branch eXchange (PBX) service feature processing to be performed in a service provider network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signaling message associated with a user, and accesses a customer premise Internet Protocol (IP) Public Branch eXchange (PBX) to retrieve customer premise IP PBX based service logic and data associated with the user by a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) network element. The method then completes a service feature associated with the service logic and data in the communication network.

  • Patent number: 8625579
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling customer premise Public Branch eXchange (PBX) service feature processing to be performed in a service provider network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signaling message associated with a user by an application server deployed in a communication network, and accesses a customer premise Internet Protocol (IP) Public Branch eXchange (PBX) to retrieve customer premise IP PBX based service logic and data associated with the user by the application server. The method forwards an updated signaling message by the application server to a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) network element for completing a service feature associated with the service logic and data in the communication network.

  • Patent number: 8570884
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling customer premise Public Branch eXchange (PBX) service feature processing to be performed in a service provider network using an intermediary device are disclosed. For example, the method receives a signaling message by an intermediary device managed by a service provider of a communication network, where the signaling message requires processing by a customer premise Public Branch eXchange (PBX), wherein the signaling message is in accordance with a network signaling format. The method interworks the signaling message into a signaling message in accordance with a PBX signaling format, and sends the interworked signaling message to the customer premise PBX to retrieve service logic and data associated with the signaling message.

  • Publication number: 20110161519
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for providing a transit service in a communications network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a session request by a routing device, where the session request is directed towards a user endpoint device that accesses one or more services via the aggregate endpoint device, and interrogates a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) for domain information of the aggregate endpoint device. The method determines if the domain information of the aggregate endpoint device is associated with a transit function, and routes the session request to the transit function for completion, if the domain information of the aggregate endpoint device is associated with the transit function.
