Patent number: 10015292Abstract: System, methods, entities, and computer program for handling timers in a communication network are described. The communication network comprises a plurality of entities (100-108). The method in a first entity (100) comprises determining (301) whether a supervision condition for supervising a communication procedure is fulfilled. The method further comprises adding (308), based on a result of the step of determining the supervision condition (301), a timer validity information to a signaling message related to the communication procedure, and sending (308) the signaling message to a second entity (102). The method in a second entity (102-108) comprises receiving (400) a signaling message associated with a communication procedure, the signaling message containing a timer validity information.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2013Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Anders Baer, Tobias Austrell, Timo Forsman, Jan Anders Tellinger

Patent number: 9578068Abstract: There is provided a method of processing an IMS session originated by a UE after restart of a S-CSCF that was previously assigned to a user of the UE during registration with the IMS, when a further S-CSCF is currently assigned to the user. The method comprises, at a HSS, receiving a request to register a user identity of the user from the previously assigned S-CSCF, determining that the previously assigned S-CSCF is not the same as a S-CSCF currently assigned to the user, determining if IMS restoration procedures are supported for the UE, and, if IMS restoration procedures are not supported for the UE, sending a response to the previously assigned S-CSCF, the response identifying the further S-CSCF currently assigned to the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Emiliano Merino Vazquez, Tobias Austrell, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes, Bernardo Perez De Villar Caamaño

Patent number: 9509811Abstract: A Serving Call Session Control Function, S-CSCF, within an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, core network. Notifications are sent to a Home Subscriber Server, HSS, of the IMS core network, indicating IMS registration state changes of users. Delivery failure of a notification of an IMS registration state change sent to a HSS and relating to a given user is detected. An association between an identifier of the given user and an indication of said delivery failure is stored in order to indicate a loss of IMS registration state synchronization for the given user between the S-CSCF and the HSS. An event requiring an IMS registration state change for the user is detected. A determination is made that a delivery failure indication associated with the user's identifier is stored. The HSS is notified indicating the required IMS registration state change and of a previous loss of the IMS registration state synchronization.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Emiliano Merino Vazquez, Tobias Austrell, Francisca Bejarano Garcia, David Heras Cano

Patent number: 9426711Abstract: A method of handling traffic within an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, network. The method comprises registering an IMS user with a first Serving Call Session Control Function, S-CSCF, of the IMS network. Subsequently, at the first S-CSCF, a decision is made or instruction received to transfer said user to an alternative, second S-CSCF within the IMS network. A notification is sent from said first S-CSCF to a further IMS node, the notification including an explicit instruction to select a second S-CSCF and, upon receipt of said notification at the further IMS node, an S-CSCF reselection initiated for the user in order to select a second S-CSCF.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Tobias Austrell, Timo Forsman, Annika Jonsson, Jan Anders Tellinger, Marlene Yared

Patent number: 9398054Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a network entity of an IMS network, in which a registered user is being served by an assigned Serving-Call Session Control Function, S-CSCF. The network entity includes a memory storing data that includes an identity of at least one better-matching S-CSCF in the IMS network having capabilities better suited for serving the registered user than the assigned S-CSCF. The network entity is configured to obtain an indication of the availability of the better-matching S-CSCF, and when the better-matching S-CSCF entity is available to initiate a transfer so that the registered user is served by the better-matching S-CSCF. The network entity may be the assigned S-CSCF, or may be an I-CSCF. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of transferring a registered user to a better-matching S-CSCF.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSONInventors: Jan Anders Tellinger, Annika Jonsson, Timo Forsman, Tobias Austrell

Publication number: 20150282242Abstract: According to a first aspect there is provided a method of processing an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session originated by a User Equipment (UE) after failure of a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) that was previously assigned to a user of the UE during registration with the IMS. The method comprises, at a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), upon determining that the P-CSCF is unable to forward a session establishment request for the session to the previously assigned S-CSCF, selecting an alternative S-CSCF from a S-CSCF pool, and sending the session establishment request for the session to the alternative S-CSCF.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2012Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Emiliano Merino Vazquez, Tobias Austrell, Juan Manuel Fernandez Galmes, Bernardo Perez De Villar Caamaño

Patent number: 8788678Abstract: A method of handling IP Multimedia Public Identity registration within an IP Multimedia Subsystem network. The method comprises receiving at a Call Session Control Function a SIP REGISTER message including a completed IP Multimedia Public Identity Attribute-Value-Pair and no IP Multimedia Private Identity. The method further comprises deriving at the Call Session Control Function an IP Multimedia Private Identity using the IP Multimedia Public Identity and sending a Cx query from the Call Session Control Function to a Home Subscriber Server, the query including the IP Multimedia Public Identity and the derived IP Multimedia Private Identity.
