Patent number: 8665823Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and entities involved in enabling and improving inter-domain handover. A PS based RAN such as eUTRAN can identify which potential handover to prepare and which handover to initiate, PS-PS or SR-VCC based on: (1) the UE's SR-VCC capabilities, (2) “SR-VCC indication” from the MME, (3) active VoIP bearer, and (4) target cell capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Woonhee Hwang, Frank Mademann, Jari Mutikainen, Curt Wong

Publication number: 20130310088Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for SMS delivery between user equipment without MSISDN is provided. One method includes sending a SIP message, which may include an SMS payload, to the IMS network where the destination UE is homed, and determining whether the destination UE is IMS registered. If the destination UE is not IMS registered, then the SIP message may be routed to a default gateway which will attempt to deliver the SIP message by querying the serving MSC/SGSN information from the HSS. The method may include receiving an indication that the destination UE is unavailable and receiving the IMSI or correlation ID of the destination UE. The method may further include submitting the SMS to SMSC-A with the IMSI (or correlation ID) of the destination UE. If, however, it is determined that the destination UE is IMS registered and the SIP message was delivered to the destination UE, then the method may include receiving an acknowledgement that delivery was successful.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: NOKIA SIEMENS NETWORKS OYInventors: Curt WONG, Jari MUTIKAINEN

Patent number: 8543060Abstract: A system for transferring active communication sessions between apparatuses. In at least one example implementation, a first apparatus may receive information including at least identity information corresponding to a second apparatus via close-proximity wireless communication. The receipt of the identity information may then trigger the first apparatus to determine whether it is already in a communication session. If it is determined that the first apparatus is in a communication session, it may be further determined, based on the identity information, whether automatic transfer of the communication session is permitted. If the first apparatus determines that the automatic transfer is permitted, the first apparatus may then initiate a transfer of the communication session to the second apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jari Mutikainen, Andrea Bacioccola

Patent number: 8203982Abstract: The present application discloses a system of at least a network element and at least a terminal. The system constituents are configured to provide assistance by the terminal to the network element in terms of access domain selection for at least one of the media channel and the session control channel of an incoming call to the terminal. In this regard, the terminal acquires information about the capabilities of an access network in which the terminal is camping. Upon receiving, at the terminal, an invitation to participate in a call, the terminal analyzes the acquired information about the capabilities of the access network, and optionally or additionally of the IMS network. The terminal responds to the invitation, based on the result of the analyzing, with an indication that indicates a respective access domain to be used for at least one of the media channel and the session control channel of the incoming call.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Jari Mutikainen, Mari Melander, Matti Saarenpää, Martin Öttl, Curt Wong

Patent number: 8102839Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for establishing circuit-switched (CS) communications in packet-switched (PS) multimedia networks such as IMS, and providing services via the PS networks to CS domain users. A dialog is established between terminals through the PS multimedia network. A service is provided to at least one of the terminals by way of the dialog. CS bearer information, including an indication that a communication flow is requested via a CS network, is communicated between the terminals by way of the dialog. A communication flow via the CS network is effected between the terminals as directed by the CS bearer information. IMS or other PS multimedia network services can thus be provided to users otherwise communicating via the CS-domain.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2008Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jarmo Kuusinen, Matti Turunen, Jari Mutikainen

Publication number: 20110296034Abstract: There is proposed a method and corresponding apparatuses allowing a change from a packet switched communication domain to a circuit switched communication domain. When a user equipment as a connection terminating point receives a connection initialization message with a media flow, such as audio, which cannot be delivered by the packet switched access, it sends a specific response rejecting the connection via the packet switched access to an application server for service centralization and continuity. In the application server, it is checked whether several conditions are met in order to determine whether the communication connection comprising the media flow is allowed to be changed to the circuit switched domain. If yes, the communication connection is changed from the packet switched communication domain to the circuit switched communication domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2009Publication date: December 1, 2011Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Georg Mayer, Jari Mutikainen, Peter Leis

Publication number: 20110264747Abstract: In a service level interworking unit, a service center (SC) address or a set of SC addresses dedicated for the service level interworking is used whenever an instant message (IM) is interworked to a short message (SM). In other words, if a message is initially sent as an instant message (IM) by user equipment (UE) and is interworked to a short message (SM) by the interworking function, the interworked short message (SM) is sent to a dedicated service center (SC) address. For originating messages that are not interworked, different service center address or addresses are used. A terminating short message (SM) received at the interworking unit is interworked to an instant message (IM) and the interworked instant message (IM) is delivered to the user equipment (UE), if a service center address in the terminating short message (SM) is one of the dedicated service center addresses.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2009Publication date: October 27, 2011Applicant: NOKIA SIEMENS NETWORKS OYInventors: Jari Mutikainen, Jozsef Varga

Patent number: 7898990Abstract: A method, system and gateway device enables interworking between an IP-based network and a circuit-switched network. A first address information of a first connection end located in the circuit-switched network is routed in a trigger message from the IP-based network to a gateway control function. The first and second call legs are established in parallel towards the first connection end based on the first address information, and towards a second connection end located in the IP-based network based on a second address information obtained from the trigger message. A single connection between the two connection ends is then established by connecting the first and second call legs. Thereby, IP-based signaling functionality can be used to add capability for subscribers located in the CS domain to be invited into conferences or calls with subscribers located in an IP-based domain, e.g. the IMS domain.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2003Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Spyder Navigations L.L.C.Inventors: Juha Kallio, Markku Jylhä-Ollila, Jari Mutikainen
