Abstract
Aspects of the invention enhance the capabilities of the MaaP by adding interfaces thereto so that the platform directly interfaces with the OCS, the PCRF, the EIR, the CDB and the HSS without middle layer or without using RCS as an intermediary. Moreover, embodiments of the invention may create a user interface of the MaaP so that users may configure parameters to interact with the network nodes right from the user interface.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured for executing computer-executable instructions for establishing a messaging platform having a direct communication, while bypassing a Rich Communication Services (RCS), with at least one of the following:
- a Home Subscriber Server (HSS),
- an Online Charging System (OCS),
- a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF),
- an Equipment Identity Register (EIR), and
- a Cloud Database (CDB);
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to execute one or more interfaces for the direct communication to communicate with network nodes,
- wherein the direct communication comprises corresponding values, settings and parameters for the network nodes.
A tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium stored thereon computer-executable instructions for configuring a messaging platform, wherein the computer-executable instructions comprising:
- establishing a messaging platform having a direct communication, via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), with at least one of the following:
- a Home Subscriber Server (HSS),
- an Online Charging System (OCS),
- a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF),
- an Equipment Identity Register (EIR), and
- a Cloud Database (CDB);
- and
- configuring one or more interfaces for the direct communication;
- executing one or more interfaces for the direct communication to communicate with network nodes;
- and
- communicating, via the direct communication, corresponding values, settings and parameters for the network nodes.
A computer-implemented method for an enhanced messaging platform comprising:
- establishing a direct communication with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) via a first application programming interface (API);
- establishing a direct communication with an Online Charging System (OCS) via a second API;
- establishing a direct communication with a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) via a third API;
- establishing a direct communication with an Equipment Identity Register (EIR) via a fourth API;
- establishing a direct communication with a Cloud Database (CDB) with a fifth API;
- and
- providing a user interface for a user to configure one or more values from the first API, the second API, the third API, the fourth API, and the fifth API;
- wherein corresponding values, settings and parameters for the network nodes are transmitted via the first API without passing via a Rich Communication Services (RCS).
