METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING A CALL TO AN AGGREGATE ENDPOINT DEVICE

摘要

A method and an apparatus for processing a call to an aggregate endpoint device over a network are disclosed. For example, the method receives a session request by a Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), wherein a route header for the session request comprises an aggregate endpoint identifier, and interacts with an application server to receive a Public User Identity (PUID) of the aggregate endpoint device in accordance with the aggregate endpoint identifier. The method performs a termination processing for the session request using the PUID of the aggregate endpoint device, and forwards the session request towards the aggregate endpoint device.

1. A method for processing a call to an aggregate endpoint device over a network, comprising:
receiving, by a processor of a home subscriber server, a query pertaining to a session request to an aggregate endpoint device for termination processing, wherein the aggregate endpoint device comprises a multi-user endpoint device that supports a plurality of user endpoint devices; determining, by the processor, an aggregate endpoint identifier for the aggregate endpoint device, wherein the aggregate endpoint identifier is for use to obtain a public user identity of the aggregate endpoint device; and returning, by the processor, an answer to the query together with the aggregate endpoint identifier.
