Patent number: 8782208Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: July 23, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Maria Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Germán Blanco, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes, Hubert Przybysz, Andreas Schumacher, Stephen Terrill

Patent number: 8559419Abstract: A single IMPI is determined, allowing the progress of a terminating call that addresses a given IMPU shared by more than one IMPI of an IMS subscription. A number of policies are applied per IMPI basis on how to progress the terminating call. A HSS is provided where the policies are configured and, a method is disclosed including IMPU with a number of policies. Additionally, the method may also include a step of configuring at the HSS the more than one IMPI with a priority indication usable to set the order in which the more than one IMPI are checked to determine at least one for which the policies allow to progress the terminating call.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Maria-Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Berta Isabel Escribano Bullon, Nuria Esteban Vares

Patent number: 8554882Abstract: The present invention faces the issue of exercising a parental control over children's activities in the IMS network, in terms of registering into the IMS network as well as in terms of call establishment, and provides for a new IMS subscription model supporting a hierarchy of IMPI's, so-called ‘primary’ IMPI's and so-called ‘secondary’ IMPI's, whereby only the primary IMPI's are allowed to register themselves, whereas the secondary IMPI's can only register themselves after having been previously registered by a primary IMPI. To this end, the present invention provides for a new method and an enhanced HSS to allow the implicit registration of one or more ‘secondary’ IMPI's upon the explicit registration of an IMS subscriber with a given IMPI/IMPU pair, wherein the given IMPI is a ‘primary’ IMPI and the given IMPU is associated with a registration set of IMPI's which includes said one or more ‘secondary’ IMPI's.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2008Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Maria-Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Berta Isabel Escribano Bullon

Patent number: 8510457Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Maria-Carmen Belinchón Vergara, Hubert Przybysz, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes
