  • Publication number: 20240008103
    Abstract: A UE is assigned a first server for session control of the session. The first IMS node sends a request to a subscriber server associated with the UE. The request requests assistance data for selecting a second server to be assigned to the UE for the session control. The first IMS node selects a second server to be assigned to the UE for session control, based on the requested assistance data. The first IMS node sends an invitation to the selected second server. The invitation includes an indication indicating that the selected second server is selected to replace the first server. The indication triggers the selected second server, to indicate to the subscriber server to register the address of the selected second server in the subscriber server, to replace the first server in being assigned to the UE for the session control.

  • Publication number: 20230156453
    Abstract: A method performed by performed by an exposure node having a first identity in a first network domain in a telecommunications network is provided. The method includes initiating a request towards a first network node for a subscription to an event of a communication device. The request includes subscription information for a common network exposure in at least two network domains. The method further includes receiving a response from the first network node. The response includes at least one of: a first confirmation that the event will be reported to the exposure node for a second network domain for the common network exposure and a second confirmation that the event will be reported to the exposure node for the first network domain. The second confirmation omits an indication of the common network exposure. Methods performed by a first network node are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7215753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a PCS-server of a personal communication system providing personal telephone numbers for PCS subscribers. A PCS subscriber can send a handling message to the PCS-server and can form a specific handling of one or more destination profiles stored in a destination profile memory. The specific handling relates to the specific selection and activation/deactivation or switching between specific destination profiles or to the setting of specific call distribution criteria in the destination profiles. The call distribution criteria relate to origin parameter teleservice-type parameters, busy option parameters and number of call parameters. The PCS subscriber can therefore flexibly configure and use the destination profiles allocated to his personal telephone number. Based on the selected call distribution criteria a flexible delivery of the calls by using the so-set destination profiles is possible.
