Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate that enable notifications to be sent to multiple consumers for Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) architectures. In one example, a method is provided that may include obtaining, at a first network entity, a notification subscription message from a second network entity, the notification subscription message comprising a plurality of notification identifiers associated with the second network entity for notifications that are to be communicated to the second network entity, wherein the plurality of notification identifiers are indicated, at least in part, in a header of the notification subscription message; and communicating one or more notifications to the second network entity, wherein the one or more notifications are load-shared among the plurality of notification identifiers associated with the second network entity.

Abstract: A network node includes control plane functionality for managing a session of a user equipment (UE) which is anchored at a User Plane Function (UPF) anchor for communicating traffic between the UE and a data network. The node operates to obtain, from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a session context request responsive to a handover indication indicating a handover of the session from a Fifth Generation System (5GS) to an Evolved Packet System (EPS). The node identifies whether an uplink classifier (UL-CL) UPF is in use for local offloading to a local UPF anchor for delivery to a local area data network. Based on the identifying, the node obtains uplink tunnel information of the UL-CL UPF instead of the UPF anchor for establishing at least one bearer for the session and sends to the AMF a session context response including the uplink tunnel information of the UL-CL UPF.

Abstract: A method is provided for handling a voice call in a heterogeneous network environment by a wireless device. The method includes sending a registration request to a network node in a Next Generation (5G) network. The wireless device has an existing voice call on a different network in the heterogeneous network environment. The method further includes receiving a registration acceptance from the network node in the 5G network. The registration acceptance indicates that IMS voice services are supported, but existing voice calls are not supported. The method further includes determining to stop an attempt to move the existing voice call to the 5G network.

Abstract: Controlling establishment of a connection between an originating subscriber connected via an originating radio network to a communication network and a terminating subscriber connected via a terminating radio network to the communication network. The connection is established between originating payload node and terminating payload node employing a common coding scheme. Coding scheme negotiation comprises establishing, in originating control node (OCN), a list of supported coding schemes of originating subscriber, originating radio network and originating payload node. Determining, by the OCN, a radio channel property of the originating subscriber, oRCP, relaying the list and the radio channel property between the control nodes controlling the connection towards a terminating control node (TCN). Removing, by the control nodes, non-supported coding schemes from the list.

Abstract: A mobile subscriber registered with a private enterprise network and a public mobile network is provided with subscriber profile data triggering a serving switch associated with the public mobile network to forward an outgoing call connection request by that mobile subscriber over to the private enterprise network. Subscriber features and services available within the private enterprise network can then be utilized by the mobile subscriber currently roaming within the public mobile network while making outgoing call connections. Such subscriber profile data may be downloaded into the serving switch from a centralized database during its initial registration process.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for providing call transfer services within H.323 networks, in which the transferring end-point that invokes call transfer relays the media packets received from the transferred end-point to the transferred-to end-point, and likewise relays media packets received from the transferred-to end-point to the transferred end-point. However, the transferring end-point is taken out of the call after transferring the call so that it can make/receive new calls.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for providing for terminal mobility between H.323 networks belonging to the same H.323 system. When an H.323 mobile terminal moves to a new or visitor H.323 network and attempts to register with the visitor H.323 network, the visitor H.323 network informs the home H.323 network to which the H.323 mobile terminal belongs about the move, using an H.225 Registration and Admission Control Signaling (RAS) message. In order to send such a location update RAS message to the home H.323 network, the visitor Gatekeeper determines the home Gatekeeper of the visiting H.323 mobile terminal. Thereafter, the RAS message is sent by the Gatekeeper of the visitor H.323 network to the Gatekeeper of the home H.323 network through routers and the LAN backbones of the H.323 networks of the H.323 system.
