System for provisioning service data utilizing the IMS defined Sh interface's transparent data |
摘要 |
Embodiments of the method and apparatus utilizes a conventional provisioning interface to the IMS HSS and the Sh interface from the HSS to a generic application to provision service data on the application at the other end of the Sh interface. One embodiment may have the steps of: interfacing a provisioning system with an HSS with a Sh interface; and using the Sh interface as a provisioning interface. |

1. A method for provisioning application server data from a provisioning system for an IMS network to an IMS application server, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving the application server data, for the IMS application server, at the IMS HSS from the provisioning system over a common provisioning path for a plurality of IMS application servers, wherein the common provisioning path comprises a predetermined interface from the provisioning system to the IMS HSS, wherein the application server data comprises non-transparent data, which is understood syntactically and semantically by the IMS HSS and transparent data, which is understood syntactically but not semantically by the IMS HSS; storing the non-transparent data with known attributes thereof at the IMS HSS in a non-transitory computer-readable medium; storing the transparent data as a data block in the non-transitory computer-readable medium of the IMS HSS for service of the one IMS application server; receiving one or more subscription parameters at the IMS HSS from the provisioning system over the predetermined interface, wherein the one or more subscription parameters are for a subscribe/notify protocol between the IMS HSS and the IMS application server and comprise a subscription request type, a service indication, and an identity of the one IMS application server, wherein the subscribe/notify protocol is a Sh interface; subscribing, by the IMS HSS using the one or more subscription parameters for the subscribe/notify protocol received from the provisioning system, the one IMS application server to the transparent data of the application server data on the IMS HSS; pushing the transparent data to the one IMS application server by the IMS HSS via the subscribe/notify protocol; wherein a single service may be provisioned with transparent data with a single service-indication, multiple services for a same subscriber may be provisioned with transparent data with multiple service-indications. |
