Publication number: 20220417207Abstract: A mobile cellular network (MCN) communication system can provide an independent mobile cellular network to devices within a covered area. In addition, the MCN communication system can communicate with other MCN communication systems using a wireless standard that is similar to the wireless standard used to communicate with user equipment within the covered area. In some instances, the MCN communication system can be registered as a user equipment of another MCN communication system and/or have another MCN communication system registered with it as a user equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Vincent Graffagnino, Dennis Niermann

Patent number: 7054328Abstract: A signal transfer point (STP) within a Signaling System 7 (SS7) telecommunications network receives SS7 signals transmitted by a local switch. In response to a determination that the destination node specified by the received SS7 signal is connected to an Internet Protocol (IP) network, the serving STP encapsulates the received SS7 signal within an IP packet and transmits the IP packet over an IP network using an IP address identifying an application service provider (ASP) associated with a STP serving the specified destination local switch as the destination address. All other SS7 signals are transmitted over an existing SS7 telecommunications network.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2001Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Shyamal Prasad, Dennis Niermann

Patent number: 6920144Abstract: A system for routing Signaling System 7 (SS7) signaling traffic over an Internet Protocol (IP) network includes two or more signaling points, each signaling point capable of sending and receiving SS7 signaling traffic over an SS7 network and a first Signaling Gateway (SG) adapted for receiving SS7 signaling traffic from a first signaling point over the SS7 network. The first SG is configured to convert SS7 signaling traffic into an IP message stream and to route the IP message stream on the IP network to a second SG. The second SG is configured to receive the IP message stream via peer-to-peer IP communications over said IP network with said first SG and to recover the SS7 signaling traffic from the IP message stream. Peer-to-peer communications between the first and second SG is supported by conversion layers within the SG, in the form of an SCTP and M3UA protocols that allows peer IP signaling between the two SGs.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2001Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Dennis Niermann
