Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus can be used to provide handover of on-hold sessions in converged networks. In various example implementations, an on-hold session between a mobile communication device and a fixed packet network-connected peer CPE can be handed over from a fixed packet domain to a cellular domain, and vice versa. In various example implementations, an on-hold session between a mobile communication device and a PSTN-connected peer CPE can be handed over from a fixed packet domain to a cellular domain, and vice versa.
Claims20
A method for handing over a session between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to a fixed packet network comprising:
- sending a session request through the fixed packet network to a mobility application server, wherein the session is between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to the fixed packet network;
- accepting an on-hold command from a user of the mobile communication device;
- in response to the on-hold command,
- receiving media from the customer premises equipment;
- discarding the media received from the customer premises equipment;
- discontinuing sending to the customer premises equipment media originating from the mobile communication device;
- sending a request to hand over the session between the mobile communication device and the customer premises equipment through a second network.
A system operable for handing over a session between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to a fixed packet network, the system operable to:
- send a session request through the fixed packet network to a mobility application server, wherein the session is between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to the fixed packet network;
- accept an on-hold command from a user of the mobile communication device;
- in response to the on-hold command,
- receive media from the customer premises equipment;
- discard the media received from the customer premises equipment;
- discontinue sending to the customer premises equipment media originating from the mobile communication device;
- send a request to hand over the session between the mobile communication device and the customer premises equipment through a second network.
