METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES SYNCHRONIZATION ACROSS NETWORKS

摘要

A system, method, and network node for synchronizing supplementary services settings between a database in a circuit-switched network and a database in a packet-switched network are disclosed. An exemplary communication system synchronization node is configured to receive a message containing a change to a supplementary service setting associated with a user equipment (UE) connected to a circuit-switched (CS) network or a packet-switched (PS) network, and communicate the change to the supplementary service setting to one or both of the HLR and the HSS, so that the supplementary service settings in both the HLR and the HSS are updated to reflect the change to the supplementary service setting.

1. A communication system synchronization node for synchronizing supplementary services settings between a circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network, the communication system synchronization node comprising:
a first interface configured to transmit and receive messages to and from a home location register (HLR) in the circuit-switched network; a second interface configured to send and receive messages to and from a home subscriber server (HSS) in the packet-switched network; a third interface configured to communicate with an operator provisioning database; and a synchronization function module configured to: receive a message, indicating a change to a supplementary service settings associated with a user, from the HLR, via the first interface; send a message, indicating the change to a supplementary service settings associated with the user to the HSS, via the second interface; and receive a message, indicating a change to a supplementary service settings associated with a user, from the operator provisioning database, via the third interface.
