Abstract: A method of notifying a first User Equipment, UE, of a subscriber in a telecommunication network on a dialog status of a second UE of said same subscriber, said method comprising the steps of receiving, by an Application Server, AS, in said telecommunication network a register message for indicating to said AS that said first UE has registered in said telecommunication network, wherein said register message comprises an indication that said first UE is capable to receive Dialog Event notifications regarding dialog status events of UEs associated with said same subscriber, retrieving, by said AS, and triggered by said receiving of said register message, said dialog status of said second UE of said same subscriber, and sending, by said AS, to said first UE, a notify message for notifying said first UE on said retrieved dialog status of said second UE.

Abstract: A method of controlling a communication control entity in a mobile communication network and a corresponding communication control entity are described. The communication control entity is a part of a pool of communication control entities. In accordance of the invention, when acting as a primary communication control entity and receiving a request for adding a new secondary communication control entity to the overall control procedure, the communication control entity of the invention is arranged to determine whether the requested new secondary communication control entity is a part of the pool or not. If it is a part of the pool, then the primary communication control entity established a direct connection to the access part. The requested communication control entity is not added to the control procedure as a relay.

Abstract: According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of operating an Application Server (AS) that implements an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) supplementary service for a user. The method comprises configuring a rule for the user, the rule having a condition that defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) header field and defines a value of the SIP header field that must be matched by a SIP message in order to meet the condition. The method further comprises determining if the condition is met by a SIP message relating to the user and thereby determining if an action associated with the rule should be performed in relation to the SIP message.

Abstract: A user terminal may include an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, client to enable the terminal to communicate with an IMS network. The IMS client may include a conference creation and control unit configured to create and control an IMS conference involving one or more participants, participants being identified within a conference INVITE or REFER message by respective Uniform Resource Identifiers, URIs, within a URI list. The conference creation and control unit may include a response handling unit configured to receive from the IMS network, in response to the sending of an INVITE or REFER, a SIP response message including an XML body specifying an Outgoing Communication Barring, OCB, service invocation result and configured to present the specified result to a terminal user. Related methods and application servers are also discussed.

Abstract: A lamp includes a light transmissive envelope comprising two spaced apart elliptical portions that together form a hollow interior. The envelope has sealed end portions. Leads are in electrical contact with the filament near the end portions of the envelope for providing power to the lamp. There is a central portion of the envelope that spaces apart the elliptical portions. An electrically conductive filament is disposed in the interior of the envelope. The filament includes coiled-coil portions disposed in the elliptical portions in a coiled-coil shape and a single coil interval portion disposed between the coiled-coil portions at the central portion of the envelope. At least one filament support positions the filament near a center of the envelope. Gas is contained in the interior of the envelope.

Abstract: A new telecommunication service provides users with the ability to specify and receive spoken-language services in a preferred language that differs from a preferred written or text language. One or more user (e.g., a subscribing entity) preferences for spoken language as well as written language is specified and stored, e.g., in a subscriber database. An application server uses the configured spoken language preference(s) to select the language used for voice announcements, voice prompts, and other voice applications provided in one or more telecommunication services. For example, the server populates the existing SIP Accept-Language header and/or a new SIP P-Media-Language field with the spoken language preference(s) to allow the other servers, e.g., in a home and destination domain, to provide spoken/voice service as well as text-based service to the user according to the user's language preference(s).
