Patent number: 8195836Abstract: An adapter for passing messages in a telecommunications infrastructure from a first device to a second device. The adapter comprises a messaging interface, a processor, and a bus interface. The messaging interface is in communication with the first device and is operable to receive a received message in a first messaging format from the first device. The processor is coupled to the messaging interface and is operable to receive the received message from the messaging interface and translate the received message into a common message in a common format. The bus interface is coupled to the processor and is operable to receive the common message from the processor and transmit the common message to the second device through a bus.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: AT&T Mobility II, LLCInventors: Jessie T. Lee, Danh Tan Lai, Simon James Richardson, Richard Man-Keung Tam, Justin McNamara, Karl J. Schlieber, John Ervin Lewis

Patent number: 8175236Abstract: Providing for inter-working between SMS network architectures and IMS network architectures in a mobile environment is described herein. By way of example, a next generation (NG) short message service center (SMSC) is provided that can receive SMS messages in mobile application protocol (MAP) and convert such messages to IMS protocol. In addition, the NG SMSC can also receive IMS data and convert the IMS data to an SMS MAP message. The NG SMSC can reference an IMS or an SMS location registry to determine a location of the target device, and convert from IMS to SMS MAP, and vice versa, as suitable. Accordingly, the NG SMSC can provide an efficient interface between legacy SMS and NG IMS network components while preserving legacy protocols associated with such networks.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Vinod Kumar Pandey, Karl J. Schlieber, Matthew Wayne Stafford, Jianrong Wang

Publication number: 20030109271Abstract: A system for communicating a message between a first device and a second device in a telecommunications system. The system includes a first adapter, a second adapter, and a bus. The first adapter is in communication with the first device and is operable to receive a first formatted message in a first messaging format from the first device. The first adapter translates the first formatted message into a common format as a common formatted message and provides the common formatted message to a bus within the telecommunications system. The second adapter is in communication with the bus and the second device. The second adapter is operable to receive the common formatted message from the bus, translate the common formatted message into a second messaging format as a second formatted message, and provide the second formatted message to the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2002Publication date: June 12, 2003Inventors: John Ervin Lewis, Judith Catherine Espejo, Justin McNamara, Karl J. Schlieber, Richard Man-Keung Tam, Danh Tan Lai, Jessie T. Lee, Simon James Richardson, David Patron, Mark Steven Wuthnow
