Patent number: 9832234Abstract: Network nodes for an access network and a home network of a first UE are described for use when routing an originating call from the first UE in the access network including an IMS network. A network node receives a SIP INVITE message associated with the originating call from the first UE, and including a called party number associated with the call. The network node determines whether the first UE is visiting the access network and whether the called party number is associated with the access network. The network node determines whether the called party number is allowable in the access network. The network node modifies and transmits the received SIP INVITE message towards a home network of the first UE to cause the home network to route the originating call to the access network.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Afshin Abtin, David Castellanos Zamora, Gert Öster, Sorin Surdila

Patent number: 9712425Abstract: A method of managing a media path for a media session established between users across a plurality of interconnected Internet Protocol (IP) networks which utilize Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP) signaling. The method comprises, at session establishment via a signaling path over the IP networks, making a determination that a shortcut media path is available, wherein the shortcut media path deviates from the signaling path. The method further comprises making a further determination that nodes in the signaling path will subsequently be able to maintain the shortcut media path in the event of a subsequent session update or re-invite and, at a subsequent session update or re-invite, including within update or re-invite signaling an indication that the shortcut media path is to be maintained.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Jan Holm, Gert Öster, Christer Holmberg

Patent number: 9596270Abstract: Requests between first and second IMS network domains are communicated by receiving an XDM request in the first domain. The XDM request relates to an XML document that can be accessed via the XDM request from a location in the second domain. A SIP request is created that includes information identifying it as a request that relates to an XDM request. The SIP request is sent to the second domain so that the SIP request can be routed to the location in the second domain based on the identifying information in the SIP request. A connection for XDM requests between the first and second domains is established.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Mikael Klein, Christer Boberg, Anders Lindgren, Ingemar Lindgren, Gert Oster

Patent number: 9596640Abstract: A method of routing a session from a calling party in a serving communication network of the calling party to a called party is described. The serving communication network of the calling party is distinct from a home communication network of the calling party. The method is executed by a session routing node in the serving communication network of the calling party. In order to optimize a session routing path of signaling data of the session, the method comprises receiving from the home communication network of the calling party a session routing request requesting routing the signaling data of the session to the called party via the serving communication network of the calling party, and routing the signaling data of the session to the called party via the serving communication network of the calling party based on the received session routing request.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Ralf Keller, Fredrik Lindholm, Gert Öster, Mats Stille

Patent number: 9544756Abstract: System, methods, nodes, and computer program for determining a home network of a UE roaming in a visited network are described. The UE sends a session invitation to a further UE. The method comprises receiving, by a control node in the home network, the session invitation. The method further comprises adding, by a control node in the home network, an indication of the home network identity and an indication for session invitation loopback routing, to the session invitation. The method further comprises sending, by a control node in the home network, the session invitation towards the visited network. The method further comprises receiving, by a control node in the visited network, a session invitation from the home network. The method further comprises determining, by the control node in the visited network, the home network based on the indication of the home network identity.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Cormac Hegarty, Jan Holm, Gert Oster

Patent number: 9124597Abstract: During a registration procedure by a User Equipment (UE) via a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) node and a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) node, the S-CSCF node provides a policy indicator in a response message to a register request message. The policy indicator enables subsequent operation of the node to be controlled according to whether or not a registered UE has an associated policy. As such, delays (such as delays associated with retrieving an associated policy) are only experienced by UEs that have previously been determined as having such an associated policy, rather than all UEs being affected in the same way.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Ivo Sedlacek, Martien Huijsmans, Gert Öster

A network node receives a SIP INVITE message associated with the originating call from the first UE, and including a called party number associated with the call. It determines whether the first UE is visiting the access network and whether the called party number is associated with the access network. A query to a database is performed, the database comprising a plurality of called party numbers, as to whether the called party number is allowable for use in the access network when the UE is visiting and when the called party number is associated with the access network. Instructing the home network to route the originating call to the access network when a response from the query indicates the called party number is allowable for use in the access network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2012Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (PUBL)Inventors: Afshin Abtin, David Castellanos Zamora, Gert Öster, Sorin Surdila

Publication number: 20140254491Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for use in handling session establishment in a home network or visited network. IMS roaming is described for a UE of the home network that is roaming in the visited network. On receipt of a session establishment request associated with an originating call from the UE the home network determines whether to perform home routing and/or direct home routing of the originating call to the called party. When home routing, execution of service invocation is suspended and the home network sends a session establishment request including a routing number of an application server in the home network back to the visited network, which performs visiting service invocation of the call and routes the signaling and media to the home network-based on the routing number. The network node in the home network resumes execution of service invocation and routing of the originating call to the called party.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2012Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Fredrik Lindholm, Gert Oster
