Communication protocol preferences

摘要

Systems and methods for the management of communications related to telecommunications-based devices are provided. Telecommunications-based devices initiate requests to gateway computing devices corresponding to a radio communication network to establish data communications. The gateway computing device accepts the communication request and specifies an ordered preference of one or more communication protocols that will be used telecommunications-based devices accessing the wireless communication network. The telecommunications-based device processes the acceptance and selects a communication protocol from the ordered preference provided by the gateway computing device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for managing communication in a radio network, comprising:
obtaining, at a gateway computing device, a request to establish data communications with a mobile device over the radio network, wherein the request is transmitted from the mobile device to the gateway computing device via the radio network, wherein the request identifies an addressing protocol specification for the data communications over the radio network, and wherein the gateway computing device and the mobile device correspond to different physical computing devices interconnected via the radio network; in response to the communication request, dynamically determining, at the gateway computing device, addressing protocol preferences for data communications with the mobile device, the addressing protocol preferences specified in at least one of an Internet Protocol version four addressing protocol and an Internet Protocol version six addressing protocol; and transmitting, from the gateway computing device to the mobile device, an acceptance of the communication request, independent of the requested addressing protocol specification, to form a data communication channel, the acceptance of the response including the addressing protocol preferences, wherein the mobile device initiates communication via the formed data communication channel in accordance with the addressing protocol preferences.
