SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING RELIABLE DATA CONNECTIVITY WITH A NETWORK NODE BY A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) DEVICE

摘要

In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for effectuating remote control of a network node (408) by a user equipment (UE) device (102A). A message relating to a service feature is constructed and wrapped in a wrapper, which is then transmitted to the network node (408) via an out-of-band control channel over a network infrastructure including a dedicated network portion (405) and a trusted network portion (407) for invoking the requested service feature. In an exemplary implementation, the wrapper is comprised of a Short Message Service (SMS)-based message, an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)-based message, and a User-to-User Signaling (UUS)--based message.
