20090221310 | MESSAGE INTERWORKING METHOD, SYSTEM, ENTITY AND MESSAGE DELIVERY REPORT PROCESSING METHOD, SYSTEM, THE ENTITY, TERMINAL FOR MESSAGE INTERWORKING - The message interworking method and system of SIP message and conventional short message, using an entity SMI AS for message interworking to execute the authorization of the interworking service of SIP message and conventional network message, to transform the message format and to store and forward the message. Herein, SMI AS can be a new added network entity, or a new added function module in the exiting network entity, and it provides service for users by the third registration of users. Applying present invention enables the IMS-only terminal, which does not support the conventional short message service, to achieve the interworking of the message service with the conventional terminal, enriching the variety of the service. The entity for message interworking is also provided. Additionally, a message delivery report processing method and system are also provided. | 09-03-2009 |
20100142483 | GENERIC ACCESS NETWORK AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING SERVICES BY USING GENERIC ACCESS NETWORK - A Generic Access Network (GAN) and a method for implementing services by using the GAN are disclosed. The GAN is configured to connect a generic IP network with a target network, and includes a Generic Access Network Controller (GANC) configured to enable a User Equipment (UE) to access the target network via the generic IP network. The GANC includes: a user interface, configured to connect the UE; and a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) interface, configured to trigger a process of establishing bearers of the generic IP network. | 06-10-2010 |
20100142488 | METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM OF HANDOVER - A handover method includes an evolved mobile switching centre (eMSC) that receives a relocation request from a first network and forwards the relocation request to a second network requesting the second network to establish its own media plane association. The eMSC establishes a media plane association with the second network. The eMSC instructs a user equipment (UE) to access the second network. With the handover method, the UE may be handed over between different networks by using the eMSC. A method for reattaching a UE to the eMSC is also provided so that the UE can be reattached to a target eMSC when the eMSC to which the UE is attached is changed. A handover apparatus and a handover system are also provided. | 06-10-2010 |
20110103261 | METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING DIAMETER SESSION FOR PACKET FLOW BASED CHARGING - A method and system for establishing a Diameter session between a TPF and a CRF is disclosed. The Diameter session between the TPF and CRF can be established for each bearer of each subscriber. The Diameter session can also be established for the bearers with a same APN of each subscriber. The Diameter session can also be established with respect for all the bearers of a subscriber. The method and system improves the mechanism for establishing Diameter sessions and makes the implementation of the charging flow more integrated. Moreover, the multiple ways for establishing Diameter sessions between the TPF and the CRF provided in the present invention can be flexibly selected according to the practical charging applications. | 05-05-2011 |
20110217991 | Handling Method after Updating of Privacy Profile of Target User Equiptment - An embodiment handling method after the update of privacy profile of a target UE is disclosed. When LCS system is aware that the privacy profile of a target UE was updated, for every outstanding Location Request against the target UE, the LCS system performs a new privacy check based on the updated privacy profile. If the location request passes the privacy check, the LCS continues to handle the location request; if the location request fails in the privacy check, the LCS initiates a cancellation procedure to the location request. The LCS system can perform a new privacy check for the location request based on the updated privacy profile of the target UE, and implement corresponding processing depending on the result of the privacy check, e.g., for a location request that fails in the privacy check, the LCS system initiates a cancellation procedure. | 09-08-2011 |
