  • Patent number: 10862842
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10498791
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9276964
    Abstract: A method in a first user terminal (300, 500) for supporting provision of capabilities of the first user terminal to a second user terminal (302) is provided. The method comprises receipt (402) of a capability request from the second user terminal. Upon receipt of the capability request, filtering rules are used (406) on the capabilities of the first user terminal, wherein the filtering rules have been pre-configured for the first user terminal to control exposure of said capabilities. Thereafter a capability message is transmitted (408) to the second user terminal, wherein at least one of the capabilities of the first user terminal have been omitted from the capability message based on the filtering rules.

  • Patent number: 7286488
    Abstract: A communications network configuration for delivery of multimedia services comprises a packet network to which a plurality of terminal devices are connected, a service provider network for providing multimedia services to the terminal devices, a virtual circuit switched network intermediate the packet and service provider networks, and a gateway distributed over the circuit switched network. The distributed gateway comprises a client application unit interfacing the circuit switched network to said packet network and a virtual channel interface unit interfacing the circuit switched network to the service provider network. The client application unit binds logical channels for a multimedia call to association tags for respective virtual channels of the circuit switched network and forwards said association tags to the virtual interfacing unit.

  • Publication number: 20030214958
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for linking control and bearer for a multimedia session in an ALL-IP network, and to an Access Gateway (AGW) and an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server therefore. For doing so, a Mobile IP Request message is received at the AGW from a terminal. The AGW requests authentication of the terminal at the AAA server. The AAA server allocates a Proxy Session Control Manager (P-SCM) for the terminal. Then, the AAA sends an identity of the P-SCM to the AGW, and stores the identity of the allocated P-SCM for the terminal.
