Abstract
Systems and methods for the management of communications related to telecommunications-based devices are provided. Telecommunications-based devices initiate requests to gateway computing devices corresponding to a radio communication network to establish data communications. The gateway computing device accepts the communication request and specifies an ordered preference of one or more communication protocols that will be used telecommunications-based devices accessing the wireless communication network. The telecommunications-based device processes the acceptance and selects a communication protocol from the ordered preference provided by the gateway computing device.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for managing communication in a radio network, comprising:
- obtaining, at a gateway computing device, a request to establish data communications from a mobile device via the radio network, wherein the request includes a requested addressing protocol specification;
- dynamically determining addressing protocol preferences for data communications with the mobile device, the addressing protocol preferences selected from at least an Internet Protocol version four addressing protocol and an Internet Protocol version six addressing protocol;
- and
- transmitting an acceptance of the communication request, independent of the requested addressing protocol specification, to form a data communication channel, the acceptance of the response including the addressing protocol preferences, wherein the mobile device initiates communication via the formed data communication channel in accordance with the addressing protocol preferences.
A computer-implemented method for managing communication in a communication network, comprising:
- transmitting a request to establish communications via the communication network, wherein communications via the communication network can utilize two or more available communication protocols and wherein the request to establish communications does not include a specification of a communication protocol from the two or more available communication protocols;
- obtaining an acceptance of the request to establish data communication, the acceptance of the communication request including an ordered preference of at least one communication protocol selected by a receiving gateway computing device, the at least one communication protocol dynamically selected from the two or more available communication protocols and wherein the acceptance is independent of an addressing protocol specification;
- processing the ordered preference of the at least one communication protocol to select a communication protocol;
- causing communications via the communication network in accordance with the selected communication protocol.
A computer-implemented method for managing communications via a communications network, comprising:
- obtaining, at a gateway computing device, a request to establish communications via the communication network, wherein the request does not include a specification of a communication protocol utilized in communications via the communication network;
- determining, by the gateway computing device, an ordered preference of addressing protocols selected from at least two applicable addressing protocols, wherein determining the ordered preference of addressing protocols include determining the ordered preference based, at least in part, on attributes associated with the request;
- and
- transmitting, by the gateway computing device, a confirmation of the communication request, the confirmation including the ordered preference of addressing protocols.
