Patent number: 11399315Abstract: A method of managing an Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback procedure in a 5GS network. The method comprises making available to the Access Mobility Function (AMF), a configuration parameter per Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) indicating if early or late PCRF/PCF interaction with the IMS is used. Then, upon receipt by the network of a 5GS network registration request from a UE, the home PLMN of the UE is identified as is the configuration parameter for that PLMN. The identified parameter is then used to determine for the UE whether or not EPS fallback is available to the UE, and an indication of the determination is sent to the UE.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Magnus Hallenstål, Ralf Keller

Patent number: 11323922Abstract: When a user equipment is roaming in a visited network, mid-call handover from VoWiFi to VoLTE is controlled by policies enforced in the user equipment and the home network. An inter-operator policy and a subscription policy are stored in the home network and a user equipment policy is stored in the user equipment. The roaming user equipment registers in a visited network. Later, when mid-call handover to VoLTE on the visited network is desired, and also permitted by its user equipment policy, the user equipment sends a request containing a call-specific identifier which the responsible network entity in the home network compares with the registered handover parameter having regard to the inter-operator and subscription policies. If compliance with the policies is found, then the mid-call handover is proceeded with.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2017Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Jerker Zetterlund, Afshin Abtin, Andreas Anulf, Jan Dahl, Magnus Hallenstål, Ralf Keller, Håkan Österlund

Patent number: 11277775Abstract: A Network Function service provider in a 5GC, for managing SRVCC handover for a UE having a voice session anchored in an IMS in a PS domain in the 5GC is provided. The SRVCC handover moves the voice session to a CS domain in a legacy network. The NF service provider receives an SRVCC handover required message from an NF service consumer, comprising information about a target ID of the legacy network and a target transparent RAN container. The NF service provider obtains, based on the information received in the handover required message, a legacy target transparent RAN container comprising information required for the target RAN node in the legacy radio access network to accept the handover, an identifier related to the voice session, an STN-SR and legacy CS domain security information. The NF service provider initiates handover by transmitting the obtained information to the legacy CN over Sv-interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Jari Vikberg, Ralf Keller
