Abstract: Various embodiments comprise a wireless communication network to support Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice calling. In some examples, the wireless communication network comprises Call Session Control Function (CSCF) circuitry and E.164 Number Mapping (ENUM) circuitry. The CSCF circuitry receives a Mobile Originating Session Initiation Protocol (MO IMS) invite message from an originating User Equipment (UE). The CSCF circuitry performs an ENUM query for the destination number to route the invite to the terminating UE network. The ENUM circuitry responds with routing information and realm information for the terminating UE. The CSCF circuitry stores the realm type in association with the MO SIP invite and transfers the MO SIP invite. The CSCF circuitry receives an error response from the peer network for the SIP invite. The CSCF circuitry determines if retry is allowed based on the realm type. If retry is allowed, the CSCF circuitry transfers a retry request.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for processing intra- and inter-messaging platform communications, including by receiving and analyzing messages originating from one sender for distribution to a recipient, where the sender and recipient may be on a same or separate messaging platform. Clusters of such messages with similar contents or other similar characteristics are identified and categorized, such as in accordance with configuration information regarding one or both of the originating and destination messaging platforms. Based on a determination of one or more categories associated with such an identified message cluster, as well as an analysis of metadata associated with the profile of the sender of the messages, various actions may be taken with respect to such message clusters or with parties associated with such message clusters, including actions based at least in part on the configuration information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing multiple channels in an access network, where the multiple channels are neighboring channels such that a guard band between them or use of a diplexer to prevent inter-channel interference is not required. Synchronization is achieved by defining channel MAP (media access plan) cycle structures such that all channels work in the same direction (upstream US or downstream DS) at any given time. Moreover, the network controller of channel may send out a beacon to allow new nodes to join. A long MAP cycle (402) may be followed by three consecutive regular MAP cycles (404, 406), and (408). These MAP cycles are repeated between beacon transmissions. Synchronization allows multiple channels to be configured contiguous (without a guard band between neighbouring channels) and without utilizing diplexers. A plurality of customer premises equipment may operate on each of the communications channels.
