Abstract
A device receives a personal Mobile Directory Number (MDN) associated with an individual subscriber, where the individual subscriber is further associated with one or more subscriber devices. The device receives a corporate MDN assigned to the individual subscriber. The device links the corporate MDN, the personal MDN, and the one or more subscriber devices within an Implicit Registration Set (IRS) at a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for routing calls to the individual subscriber's corporate MDN or personal MDN at the one or more subscriber devices.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a device, a personal Mobile Directory Number (MDN) associated with an individual subscriber, wherein the individual subscriber is further associated with one or more subscriber devices;
- receiving, at the device, a corporate MDN assigned to the individual subscriber;
- and
- linking, by the device, the corporate MDN, the personal MDN, and the one or more subscriber devices within an Implicit Registration Set (IRS) at a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for routing calls to the individual subscriber's corporate MDN or personal MDN at the one or more subscriber devices.
A system, comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and
- a processing unit configured to:
- receive, via the communication interface, a personal Mobile Directory Number (MDN) associated with an individual subscriber, wherein the individual subscriber is further associated with one or more devices,
- receive, via the communication interface, a corporate MDN assigned to the individual subscriber;
- and
- link, via the communication interface, the corporate MDN, the personal MDN, and the one or more user devices, within an Implicit Registration Set (IRS) at a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network for routing calls to the individual subscriber's corporate MDN or personal MDN at the one or more devices.
A method, comprising:
- powering up a device;
- sending, upon power-up of the device, a first message from the device to a remote network device;
- receiving, at the device from the remote network device, a second message that includes an identification of multiple Mobile Directory Numbers (MDNs) linked to an individual subscriber associated with the device;
- and
- obtaining, at the device, a MDN-specific calling ID, an address book, and a voice mailbox for each of the multiple MDNs identified in the SIP reply message.
A device, comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute a phone client to:
- send, upon power-up of the device, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message from the phone client to a remote network device via the communication interface,
- receive, at the phone client from the remote network device via the communication interface, a SIP reply message that includes an identification of multiple Mobile Directory Numbers (MDNs) linked to an individual subscriber associated with the device, and
- obtain a MDN-specific calling ID, an address book, and a voice mailbox for each of the multiple MDNs identified in the SIP reply message.
