  • Patent number: 9794831
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for shortening signaling delay of ISC session transfer procedure, a network element for controlling ISC session transfer, a network element for anchoring a media path in ISC session transfer and a communication system including at least two terminals and the above two network elements. In the present invention, the SCC AS decides if a media path needs to be anchored in a media anchor point MRF, and if yes, then instructs a MRF to assign respective media endpoints for a local UE and a remote UE and connect the two media endpoints together, so as to divide the session between the local UE and the remote UE into two independent sub-sessions: a session between the local UE and the MRF, and a session between the remote UE and the MRF. For these two sub-sessions, the SIP signaling is terminated and sent out in the SCC AS. Thus, when a local UE or a remote UE triggers handover, only one sub-session needs to be updated/influenced.

  • Patent number: 9391864
    Abstract: An Internet service control method, and a relevant device and system are disclosed. An Internet service control method is applied to a terminal device deployed with an Internet service client, where the method includes: monitoring a type of a message which the Internet service client is ready to send to an application server through an air interface; and when monitoring that the sent message is a heartbeat message or polling message, intercepting the heartbeat message or polling message, where the application server is configured to process a service corresponding to the Internet service client, the application server further communicates with a second service proxy function entity through a second communication channel, the second communication channel includes no air interface channel, and the second service proxy function entity proxies the Internet service client to send the heartbeat message or polling message to the application server.

  • Patent number: 9332000
    Abstract: A one-pass authentication mechanism and system for heterogeneous networks are provided. The mechanism comprises authenticating a user based on an authentication key and an authentication algorithm in response to a request of the user to register a first network, wherein the authentication key and the authentication algorithm are associated with a first user identity for the first network and a second user identity for a second network; and if the authentication is successful, then comparing the first user identity retrieved from an authentication database through the second user identity provided by the user to the first user identity provided by the user in the authentication, in response to a request of the user to register the second network, and setting up security associations between the user and the second network if the retrieved first user identity matches the first user identity provided by the user.

  • Patent number: 8957938
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method and corresponding apparatuses for handing over a video conversation from a PS domain to a CS domain in a radio network. When signals of a network covered by the packet switch domain where the video conversation currently locates in are not good or become unavailable, as long as source MME and eNodeB detect the presence of video conversation, a procedure of handover to circuit switch domain for video bearer will be initiated, and a handover request will be transmitted to MSC server. After receiving the handover request, a control equipment in the circuit switch domain will request for resources to a target radio network requesting for the allocation of necessary communication link to the video bearer.

  • Patent number: 8644258
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method and an apparatus for reducing break duration in handover of a VoIP conversation from a packet switch domain to a circuit switch domain. The main idea is that a synchronization mechanism is introduced between the session handover procedure at IP multimedia subsystem IMS layer and a cell handover procedure at layer 2, so that enable the two handover procedures to start at or almost at the same time. When a Mobile Switching Center MSC server receives a request of handover from the source Mobility Management Entity MME, the time required from the time the MSC server transmitting a message to this message arriving at a remote end user equipment UE is computed first, and then is compared with a predetermined time required from the time the MSC server transmitting a message to this message arriving at the local UE.
