Patent number: 7400881Abstract: The invention relates to a method a method for routing calls and messages in a communication system. In the method a mobile station registers to a call control node using a logical name. The logical name is mapped in a directory to an international mobile subscriber identity. The call control node performs a location update to a home location register using the international mobile subscriber identity. The mobile station is reached using a called party number. As a terminating call or message is received to a core network, a roaming number is allocated for the mobile station, and the call or message is routed to the call control entity currently serving the mobile station. The call control node translates the called party number to the logical name using the directory.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2005Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Juha Kallio

Publication number: 20080004007Abstract: A mechanism for controlling a call management for a call of a subscriber, in particular a service parameter adjustment, comprises a transmission of a request for adjusting settings of a service provided to a subscriber to a network control element, recognition of setting information for the service from the request, and processing of the setting information for the service. In the processing, a mapping of the recognized setting information for the service to a modification event of a data portion including parameters for the service in question is performed and a modification of the parameters for the service in question is performed by executing the modification event of the data portion obtained by the mapping. In case the data portion is not available, a search may be conducted in order to get access to the parameters for the service in question.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2006Publication date: January 3, 2008Inventor: Juha Kallio

Publication number: 20060258358Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing inter-system handovers in a communication system comprising at least a mobile station, a call state control function, a first and a second call control node, a first and a second media gateway and a radio network node. The handover is achieved by way of connecting a call control node to a call state control function. The call control node allocates a media gateway for the session established. The session media bearers are routed via the media gateway. The call control node acts as an anchor node for the handover. As the mobile station moves to a new cell a media bearer is established to the media gateway from the mobile station via the new cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2005Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventor: Juha Kallio

Publication number: 20060250955Abstract: Quality of a connection between a terminal and a gateway is monitored in the gateway. The gateway informs a core network element handling signaling relating to the connection about the quality of the connection. The core network element triggers an access network control element to inform the terminal about the quality of the connection. The gateway or the core network element may determine when to trigger the access network control element. Upon receiving triggering information from the core network element, the access network control element informs the terminal about the quality of the connection for indicating changes in the quality of connection between the terminal and the gateway.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Inventor: Juha Kallio

Publication number: 20060002327Abstract: A method, network element, and communication system relates to at least two network elements, each having at least one endpoint for transmitting or receiving traffic information to or from another network element. At least one of the network elements includes at least one storage which stores information on the traffic-information-receiving availability of at least one endpoint of at least one other network element. The at least one storage stores IP addresses of the endpoints of the other network elements, and, associated with each IP address, the information on the traffic-information-receiving availability thereof. Each endpoint has an individual storage which is updated on a regular or irregular basis. The endpoints can be signalling units such as SIP-T/I endpoints. The communication can be based on Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2004Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Juha Kallio, Esa Salo

Publication number: 20050243746Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for inspecting a session in a packet data network, wherein a set-up message is selectively routed to a predetermined server node (4001, 4002) and processed there. A media resource function (3021, 3022) is controlled based on the processing so as to bind incoming and outgoing data streams in order to relay the session via the media resource function. Thereby, a mechanism for providing charging, filtering and logging services for sessions, such as peer-to-peer chat sessions, is provided without requiring any new network entity or modification of existing network specifications.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Jari Mutikainen, Arto Leppisaari, Juha Kallio

Patent number: 6912384Abstract: A method and system for automatically switching cellular telephone calls, in which a cellular telephone monitors the level of its battery power, and when the battery power level dips below a predetermined threshold, the cellular telephone sends a signal to a mobile switching center, which will automatically transfer the call to an alternate phone to continue the call or leave a message. The same system could be used to transfer the call if the cellular telephone goes out of service, for example by leaving the service area, hitting a “dead zone” of service, or having a technical problem with the equipment, but in these circumstances, the signal for initiating the transfer will originate with the mobile switching center, since the cellular telephone will not be in position to send further instructions.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Miikka Huomo, Juha Kallio

Publication number: 20050058125Abstract: A mechanism for providing a connection from an IP-based network to a circuit-switched network, such as a GSM network is disclosed. A temporary routing number for the circuit-switched network, such as an E.164 number, is delivered to a user terminal, and a circuit-switched call leg is established from the user terminal to the IP-based network using the routing number. Thereby, IMS-services are provided for end users which are located in the radio access network not having sufficient QoS required for voice over IP. In the example of a conference call service, a request for a conference call may forwarded via a data channel or data path to an application server which provides that conference call service. The application server then selects a conference routing number and returns the routing number to the conference host terminal via the data channel. Using the received conference routing number, the conference host terminal can then set up a circuit-switched connection as a call leg of the conference call.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2004Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Jari Mutikainen, Juha Kallio, Lauri Lahtinen, Heikki Einola, Jarmo Kuusinen

Publication number: 20040190498Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Inventors: Juha Kallio, Markku Jylha-Ollila, Jari Mutikainen
