Abstract
It is provided a method, comprising monitoring if an invitation to an emergency session of an anonymous user is received from an internet protocol address; checking, if the invitation is received, if an identity of a user is correlated to the internet protocol address; replacing, if the internet protocol address is correlated to the identity of the user, the identification of the anonymous user in the invitation by the identity of the user; forwarding the invitation comprising the identity of the user.
Claims16
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- monitor if information about an emergency procedure is received, wherein the information comprises an internet protocol address from where at least one of a registration and an invitation originated, wherein the information is associated with at least one session initiation protocol invite request associated with general packet radio service-internet protocol multimedia subsystem-bundled authentication;
- identify an identity of a user correlated to the internet protocol address, wherein the identity of the user comprises a mobile station integrated services digital network number;
- and
- provide the identity of the user in response to the information.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- monitor if an invitation to an emergency session of an anonymous user is received from an internet protocol address, wherein the invitation is associated with at least one session initiation protocol invite request associated with general packet radio service-internet protocol multimedia subsystem-bundled authentication;
- if the invitation is received, check if an identity of a user is correlated to the internet protocol address, wherein the identity of the user comprises a mobile station integrated services digital network number;
- replace, if the internet protocol address is correlated to the identity of the user, the identification of the anonymous user in the invitation with the identity of the user;
- and
- forward the invitation comprising the identity of the user.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring if information about an emergency procedure is received, wherein the information comprises an internet protocol address from where at least one of a registration and an invitation originated, wherein the information is associated with at least one session initiation protocol invite request associated with general packet radio service-internet protocol multimedia subsystem-bundled authentication;
- identifying an identity of a user correlated to the internet protocol address, wherein the identity of the user comprises a mobile station integrated services digital network number;
- and
- providing the identity of the user in response to the information.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring if an invitation to an emergency session of an anonymous user is received from an internet protocol address, wherein the invitation is associated with at least one session initiation protocol invite request associated with general packet radio service-internet protocol multimedia subsystem-bundled authentication;
- checking, if the invitation is received, if an identity of a user is correlated to the internet protocol address, wherein the identity of the user comprises a mobile station integrated services digital network number;
- replacing, if the internet protocol address is correlated to the identity of the user, the identification of the anonymous user in the invitation with the identity of the user;
- and
- forwarding the invitation comprising the identity of the user.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring if an attempt to register an emergency session of a user is received, wherein the attempt comprises a first internet address as an origin, and the attempt does not comprise an authorization header, wherein the attempt is associated with at least one session initiation protocol invite request associated with general packet radio service-internet protocol multimedia subsystem-bundled authentication;
- requesting an identity of the user if the attempt is received, wherein the request comprises the first internet protocol address and the identity of the user comprises a mobile station integrated services digital network number;
- extracting the identity of the user from a message received in response to the request;
- and
- providing, if the message comprises the identity of the user, the identity of the user in response to the attempt.
