Publication number: 20100306397Abstract: A generic method is described for storing data in the HSS (2) by the S-CSCF (1) of an IMS. When a SIP message containing new information relating to an IMPI/IMPU pair is received by the S-CSCF (1), a data package is created for storage at the HSS (2), containing the new information. An SAR command is sent to the HSS (2) containing an AVP including an instruction to the HSS (2) and the new data package. In one aspect a unique data package is controlled by the S-CSCF (1). When new information relating to the IMPI/IMPU is received in a SIP message, this is added to any previously sent data package to create a new data package. In another aspect the HSS (2) controls a unique data package, returning the data package to the S-CSCF (1) to be amended if necessary. In another aspect separate data packages are used.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2007Publication date: December 2, 2010Inventors: Maria-Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Hubert Przybysz, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes

Publication number: 20100257272Abstract: A method is disclosed for use by an Interrogating Call/Session Control Function (I-CSCF) of an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). In the method, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message is received by the I-CSCF, which the I-CSCF attempts to forward to a Serving Call/Session Control Function (S-CSCF) of the IMS assigned to provide services to a user. If the attempt is determined to have failed, the I-CSCF sends a message to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of the IMS to request capabilities information for selecting a S-CSCF, the request message also providing first information relating to the status of the assigned S-CSCF. On receipt of the capabilities information at the I-CSCF from the HSS, the I-CSCF selects a replacement S-CSCF to provide services to the user. Related methods are also disclosed for use by the HSS and S-CSCF.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2007Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM EricssonInventors: Maria-Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Germán Blanco, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes, Hubert Przybysz, Andreas Schumacher, Stephen Terrill

Publication number: 20100229027Abstract: The present invention is aimed to provide means and methods for recovery of an IP Multimedia Subsystem ‘IMS’ where a Home Subscriber Server ‘HSS’ holding subscriber data for subscribers of the IMS has suffered a restart. A first method of recovery is applied after detecting a HSS restart, and as receiving a registration from a given subscriber or an invitation to communicate with a given subscriber from another subscriber. A second method of recovery is applied after detecting a HSS restart, and as receiving a request from a given subscriber at a S-CSCF previously assigned for serving the given subscriber in the IMS.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2007Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventors: Maria Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Juan Manuel Fernández Galmes, Germán Blanco, Santiago Muñoz muñoz

Publication number: 20100217875Abstract: A method is disclosed for use by an Interrogating Call/Session Control Function (I-CSCF) of an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The method comprises, in response to receipt of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message, requesting capabilities information relating to a user from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) of the IMS. On receipt of the capabilities information from the HSS, a primary and a secondary Serving Call/Session Control Function (S-CSCF) of the IMS are selected to provide services to the user. In one embodiment, the I-CSCF attempts to forward the SIP message to the primary S-CSCF with information relating to the secondary S-CSCF, such that the information can be provided subsequently to the HSS. If the attempt is determined to have failed, the SIP message can be forwarded to the secondary S-CSCF instead. Methods are also disclosed for use by the S-CSCF and the HSS.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2007Publication date: August 26, 2010Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (publ)Inventors: Maria-Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes, Santiago Munoz Munoz

Patent number: 6873154Abstract: A method for decreasing entropy of a quantum system, for example nuclear spins. The quantum system comprising at least two subsystems, a first subsystem of elements with a first relaxation time (hereinafter—computation elements) and a second subsystem of elements with a second relaxation time (hereinafter—reset elements), the second relaxation time being shorter than the first relaxation time. The method comprises adiabatically decreasing the entropy of the computation elements in the system (by entropy compression, entropy transfer, or both) and increasing the entropy of at least some reset elements, so that the entropy of the subgroup of reset elements is overall increased; and waiting for the total entropy of the subgroup of reset elements to decrease, wherein the above two steps are carried out at least once.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2003Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Inventors: Tal Mor, Vwani Roychowdhury, Seth Lloyd, Jose Manuel Fernandez, Yossi Weinstein
