Definitions
- This invention relates to a method whereby information could be passed from S- CSCF to an AS, and how it could be done at registration, and generalisations thereof.
- the AS When the UE is registered, normally also one or more ASs need to know that the UE is registered. In order to be ready to offer certain services to the subscriber the AS normally needs to know information concerning the subscription associated with the UE. Normally that information is stored in HSS and needs to be fetched from there. For instance, an AS offering forwarding services needs to know whether the subscriber has ordered and paid for the forwarding services as well as the address(es) where to forward the sessions. Fetching information from HSS is problematic when the AS is a third party AS located in a third party network or the AS is an AS located in the visited network. In both cases a foreign AS should know the address of the HSS and be able to send and receive messages to/from the HSS in order to carry needed information from the HSS.
- A. AS has to subscribe in advance to get a notification of registration
- Proposals in group A have at least the following problems: a) Every AS has to know addresses of all the S-CSCFs.
- Proposals in group B have at least the following problem: d) AS knows the address of HSS.
- the information on whether subscriber specific information is allowed to be fetched from HSS, and in the event that it is not allowed the subscriber specific information, which a foreign or a third party AS needs in order to be able to offer appropriate services is passed from the S-CSCF to AS.
- the S- CSCF may tell an AS that it can or cannot fetch information from HSS. If the AS cannot fetch the information directly from HSS, S-CSCF passes the needed information to the AS.
- the information can suitably be passed from S-CSCF to AS in one or more headers of one or more messages and/or in the payload of one or more messages and/or in one or more special messages and/or the like.
- the information can be passed in the payload of the REGISTER message if it is sent to AS or in the payload of the NOTIFY message if it is sent to AS.
- the S-CSCF gives the AS information on whether the AS has the right to contact the HSS and fetch information from the HSS. If the AS is not allowed to fetch the needed information from HSS, the information is passed from the S-CSCF to the AS in order to avoid giving third party and visited ASs right to fetch that information directly from the HSS. It should be noted that implementations along these lines can fulfil requirements 1-5 listed above.
- the AS can reject registration. There may be two levels of rejections: one that only prevents usage of the AS in question, and another that cancels the whole registration process. In the latter case the S-CSCF can decide whether to cancel the registration or not.
- An example of the first type of ASs might be a video server, and an example of the second type might be an AS that controls subscriber's prepaid account.
- network topology hiding in accordance with existing methods is compatible with preferred implementations of the present invention. Because hiding is needed only between S-CSCFs and foreign ASs, it is analogous to the hiding between S-CSCFs and P-CSCFs. Thus THIG functionality can be utilized as it is.
- the AS In order that the AS receives the correct address it is preferred that the AS in the own and in a foreign network can be handled differently. As an option an own AS may receive service profile or part of it and/or other necessary information in the registration message similarly as a foreign AS does. If an AS doesn't need any additional information, no access from the AS to get additional information is needed.
- one embodiment of the present invention for the handling of IP multimedia registration can be specified as follows.
- the Figure 1 describes the main functionality of S-CSCF, HSS and AS at registration. Steps 1-4 indicated in the figure are part of the normal registration procedure. Note that in step 3 the service profile of the registered public user identity is downloaded containing the address list of ASs.
- Step 5 If there is at least one item in the address list of ASs, S-CSCF takes the first item from the list. If the AS is located in the same network, S-CSCF sends a third- party REGISTER request to the AS to register the UE. S-CSCF also includes an address in the request where subscriber related service information can be downloaded.
- Step 6. AS fetches the service profile and/or other necessary information of the public user identity to be registered.
- Step 7 In the case of successful third-party registration AS sends a 200 OK response to S-CSCF.
- Step 8 If there is at least one more item in the address list of ASs, S-CSCF takes the next item from the list. If the AS is located outside the S-CSCF's network, S-CSCF sends a third-party REGISTER request to the AS to register the UE. S-CSCF also includes the service profile and/or other necessary information of the registering pubiic user identity.
- Step 9 In the case of successful third-party registration AS sends a 200 OK response to S-CSCF.
- Steps 5-7 are repeated for every AS in the list that is located in the same network while steps 8-9 are repeated for every AS in the list located outside the current network.
- S-CSCF may send third-party REGISTER requests in parallel to different ASs, or in series, or a combination of the two.
- An AS can reject the third-party registration. Depending on the severity of the rejection, S-CSCF can decide to initiate a network-initiated deregistration or only block the AS until successful re-registration is done.
- NOTIFY request is used instead of REGISTER request
- the AS has to subscribe in advance, i.e. before step 5 at the S-CSF in order to receive such notifications.
- a SUBSCRIBE request is sent from the AS to the S-CSCF, which technique is well known by a man skilled in the art.
- the S-CSCF may optionally be configured not to contact the AS before the subscriber actually requests a service provided by the AS.
- a system of this type can offer the following advantages: a) Network configuration hiding is not jeopardised because messages sent between AS and HSS. b) No need to apply and possibly invent new hiding techniques to hide one or more HSS and SLF. c) Foreign operators have no access to HSS. d) Makes it possible to easily handle differently own and foreign ASs (i.e. the own ASs are able to fetch information from HSS while the foreign AS are not). d) It offers a simple solution.
- the S-CSCF may tell an AS that it can or cannot fetch information from HSS e.g. by sending or not sending an address of HSS. If the AS cannot fetch the information directly from HSS, S-CSCF passes the needed information to the AS.
- the AS's name and/or address and/or FQDN and/or domain name and/or IP address and/or other identification and/or the like could be used to decide whether the AS is located inside or outside the operator's own network. The decision can be based on DNS lookup, lookup on a list, table, database or alike configured and/or updated during the configuration or after the configuration.
- the information transferred in relation to the access that the UE may have to services may vary widely. It could include service information (or service parameters) and could include part or all of a service profile and/or a service and/or user profile and/or other information that is necessary or important for the AS to offer service(s) to the subscriber.
- the list of ASs may be fetched from a subscriber's service profile and/or user profile and/or other subscriber specific database, list, table or the like; none, some or even all of the items in the list of ASs may be fetched from a database, list, table or alike which is not subscriber specific.
- An AS outside the operator's own network may receive an address (instead of or even in addition to the service profile).
- the address is an address of a network entity (network element, functionality in a network element, or alike) that functions as a proxy to hide the operator's own network. This way, the AS outside the operator's own network gets an address to a hiding entity and can contact only that address in order to request and receive the necessary data to offer service(s) to the subscriber.
- AS outside the operator's own network may get one or more addresses that can be address(es) to hiding entity(ies) and/or address(es) to database(s) . and/or address(es) to server(s) provided for accesses from outside the operator's own network.
- This kind of hiding entity and/or database and/or server and/or alike may be located and/or protected and/or isolated so that access to it don't jeopardize the network configuration hiding e.g. it can be located on the border or even outside of the operator's own network.
- AS outside the operator's network can also utilize all kind of local information and/or configuration information and/or alike and/or information copied to it from subscriber's home network.
- PS located in the visited network may get an address of P-CSCF (which handles the subscribers registration in the visited network) to retrieve subscriber specific information from the P-CSCF.
- P-CSCF which handles the subscribers registration in the visited network
- the own network is suitably the operator's own network.
- networks of the trusted operators may be deemed to be a part the own network.
- the message to an AS located in the operator's own network one or more addresses can be inserted. They can be used (e.g. to get more information/data/parameters and/or alike) to offer service(s) to the subscriber in question.
- the address(es) that AS in the operator's own network get can refer to HSS(s), SLF(s), and/or some other database(s) and/or server(s) and/or configuration information and/or data that can be used to request and/or get service profile and/or other necessary information.
- the addresses could be at least one of an address of the HSS, an address of another network entity where to get more subscriber specific information, an address of a SIP server, an address of another AS, an address of an HTTP server, and an address of the presence server where to get presence information concerning the subscriber.
- Corresponding information may be inserted into the message to an AS located outside the operator's own network.
- Address(es) sent to an AS in the operator's own network
- the information sent to an AS outside the operators' own network
- Address(es) as well as the information may be sent in one or more messages.
- Address(es) as well as the information may be sent in the payload or in one or more headers of the message(s).
- SIP is only one possible protocol that could be used, and REGISTER and NOTIFY are only two possible methods (i.e. message types) even if SIP is used. Other protocols and/or methods and/or message types could be used.
- the received address(es) or part of them will normally be utilized.
- the AS may fetch information from one or more parameters and/or lists and/or tables and/or databases and/or alike that may be common to several ASs or specific only to the AS in question.
- preconfigured address(es) may be used in the AS located in the operator's own network. It is also possible that they are mixed i.e. one or more addresses from the message are utilized as well as one or more preconfigured addresses are used.
- the S-CSCF can send (to an l-CSCF) the response for registration request after the registration to ASs is done.
- the same could be done before registration to ASs is done.
- S-CSCF may start deregistration process or do any other appropriate operation if errors occurs in the registration to ASs. So the difference centres on when the response is sent from S-CSCF (to i-CSCF): before or after registration to ASs. Both cases are valid implementations.
