A database is provided which stores a list of location information and associated identifiers. The network entity accesses this database, wherein, when detecting that the identifier represents a session of the specific type in an area represented by the location information, the session set-up is continued in a manner appropriate for a session of the specific type. | 03-04-2010 |
20100290456 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR REGISTERING USER IDENTITIES - An apparatus is provided that includes a processor configured to maintain a first implicit registration set for a first apparatus, where the first implicit registration set includes a first identity unique to the first apparatus and a shared identity. The processor is also configured to maintain a second implicit registration set for a second apparatus, where the second implicit registration set includes a second identity unique to the second apparatus and the shared identity. In this regard, the first and second implicit registration sets may be maintained to enable registration of the first and second apparatuses with a network such that each of the first and second apparatuses are configured to receive communication requests to the respective first and second identities, and such that both of the first and second apparatuses are configured to receive communication requests to the shared identity. | 11-18-2010 |
20110270995 | CORRELATING COMMUNICATION SESSIONS - The present invention relates to a session handling entity and an application server (AS) in a communication system, the session handling entity (S-CSCF) is obtaining, from a register entity, a correlation identity for a registering private user identity of a user, transmitting the correlation identity as part of a registration procedure to the application server, and the application server initiates, based on a received session request associated with the user, at least one session request towards corresponding number of devices of the user wherein the application server is configured to check the correlation identity to ensure that not more than one session request is initiated for each device of the user. | 11-03-2011 |
20140173010 | GROUP COMMUNICATION FOR A VARIETY OF MEDIA TYPES AND DEVICES - An apparatus includes at least one memory including computer program code and at least one processor. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to receive a message containing no media content, the message indicating one or more supported media types by a group, cross-check the indicated supported media types with usable media types in the group, based on the cross-check, determine whether at least one of the indicated supported media types is found in the usable media types in the group and, based on the determination, send the message without modifying the indicated supported media types if all of the indicated supported media types are determined to be usable media types. | 06-19-2014 |
20140328347 | Function Mode Routing - Methods and entities of routing messages to or from a network entity in an IP network is disclosed. A function mode is indicated in a message routed to or from the network entity. | 11-06-2014 |
