| 20080285737 | Methods, systems, and computer program products for point code proxying between signaling points - The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for point code proxying. According to one method, a direct linkset interconnection between first and second signaling points is migrated to an interconnection including signaling message routing node. At the signaling message routing node, a point code of the second signaling point is proxied for link alignment with the first signaling point. Messages received from the first signaling point that are addressed to the point code of the second signaling point are routed to the second signaling point. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090041223 | Systems, methods, and computer readable media for triggerless call redirection with release - Systems, methods, and computer readable media for triggerless call redirection with release are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for providing triggerless call redirection with release. The method includes, at a communications node in a telecommunications network, intercepting a call setup signaling message that is associated with a call for which a first circuit-switched bearer path has been reserved and that contains information identifying a subscriber. The information identifying the subscriber is used to determine whether call redirection information (call offloading information, switching office cutover information, and/or advanced routing information) exists for the subscriber. If call redirection information exists for the subscriber, a release message for releasing the first circuit-switched bearer path and selecting a second bearer path based on the call redirection information associated with the subscriber is sent. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090041225 | Systems, methods, and computer program products for number translation with local directory number support - Methods, systems, and computer program products for number portability with local directory number support are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter herein includes a system for providing number translation with local directory number support. The system includes a communications node for receiving, from a message source, a first message that includes information identifying a subscriber. The system also includes a number translation module, operatively associated with the communications node, for determining a network address and a local directory number associated with the identified a subscriber, and for at least one of: including the network address and local directory number in the first message and forwarding the first message to a destination of the first message; and including the network address and local directory number in a second message and sending the second message to the source of the first message. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090196269 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO VOICE RESOURCES IN MOBILE NETWORKS USING MOBILITY MANAGEMENT SIGNALING MESSAGES - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for controlling access to voice resources using mobility management messages are disclosed. According to one method, a mobility management message associated with a mobile subscriber is received. A priority level of the mobile subscriber is determined based on the mobility management message and access to voice resources in controlled based on the priority level. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100136981 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING FIRST DELIVERY ATTEMPT SERVICE FOR SHORT MESSAGE PEER-TO-PEER (SMPP) MESSAGES - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a first delivery attempt (FDA) for short message peer-to-peer messages are disclosed. One method includes receiving, in a first network, a short message peer-to-peer protocol (SMPP) message from second communications network external to the first communications network. The SMPP message is converted into a mobile originated SMS message. The method also includes forwarding the mobile originated SMS message to a first delivery attempt (FDA) device, wherein the FDA device converts the mobile originated SMS message into a mobile terminated SMS message. The mobile terminated SMS message is delivered to a device in the local communications network. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100137002 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING GEO-LOCATION PROXIMITY UPDATES TO A PRESENCE SYSTEM - The subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing geo-location proximity updates to a presence system. One method includes intercepting a mobility management message associated with a mobile subscriber, wherein the mobility management message includes one or more network specific identifiers (NSIDs). A geo-location proximity descriptor is determined based on the one or more NSIDs. The geo-location proximity descriptor is communicated to a presence system. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100158201 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING TOLL-FREE SERVICE IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing toll-free service in a telecommunications network are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for providing toll-free service in a telecommunications network. The method includes, at a signaling node that includes at least one processor: receiving a first signaling message that includes a toll-free called party number, where the first signaling message is one of a non-TCAP call setup message, a mobility management query, a number portability (NP) query, and an E.164 number (ENUM) query; determining a directory number associated with the toll-free called party number; and sending the first signaling message or a second signaling message, the sent message including at least one of the directory number and routing information associated with the directory number. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100250662 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING HOME SUBSCRIBER SERVER (HSS) PROXY - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a home subscriber server (HSS) proxy are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for providing a home subscriber server proxy. The method includes, at a node separate from a home subscriber server in a telecommunications network, receiving, from a requesting network entity, a request for information maintained at a home subscriber server, the information being associated with a subscriber, and, in response to receiving the request for information maintained at a home subscriber server, providing the information associated with the subscriber to the requesting network entity on behalf of the home subscriber server. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110038287 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR CONTROLLING SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICE ORIGINATED MESSAGE TRAFFIC - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for controlling the delivery of a social networking service originated message directed to a mobile device are disclosed. According to one example, the method performed at a routing node includes intercepting a mobility management message that includes location information associated with a mobile device, storing the location information associated with the mobile device in a location database, and receiving a social networking service originated message directed to the mobile device, wherein the message includes media content. The method further includes extracting the location information associated with the mobile device from the location database and delivering the media content to the mobile device using the extracted location information from the location database. | 02-17-2011 |
