SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES SETTING SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

A synch server comprises a first interface configured to transmit and receive MAP messages, and communicate with a Home Location Register (HLR) in a Circuit-Switched (CS) network, a second interface configured to communicate with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in an IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, and a third interface configured to transmit and receive Extensible Markup Language (XML) Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP) messages. A synch function module 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 an IMS network, and communicate the change to the supplementary service setting to both 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 synch server comprising:
a Mobile Applications Part (MAP) interface configured to transmit and receive MAP messages, and communicate with a Home Location Register (HLR) in a Circuit-Switched (CS) network; an Sh interface configured to communicate with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in an IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network; a Ut interface configured to transmit and receive Extensible Markup Language (XML) Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP) messages; a synch function module configured to:
receive a MAP message, via the MAP interface, related to a change to a supplementary service setting associated with a subscriber;forward the received MAP message to the HLR;receive a response from the HLR indicative of successful supplementary service setting update in the HLR;generate an Sh command related to the change to the supplementary service setting related to the subscriber in the received MAP message;forward the Sh command to the HSS; andreceive a response from the HSS indicative of successful supplementary service setting update in the HSS; and the synch function module further configured to:
receive an XCAP message, via the Ut interface, related to a change to a supplementary service setting associated with a subscriber;generate an Sh command related to the change to the supplementary service setting related to the subscriber in the received XCAP message;forward the Sh command to the HSS;receive a response from the HSS indicative of successful supplementary service setting update in the HSS;generate a MAP message related to the change to the supplementary service setting related to the subscriber in the received XCAP message;forward the MAP message to the HLR; andreceive a response from the HLR indicative of successful supplementary service setting update in the HLR.
