Abstract
A method and system for providing supplementary services for a wireless access network includes downloading supplementary service triggers from a call agent to a mobility control function (MCF) for a wireless access network. Wireless-specific signaling of the wireless access network is communicated to the MCF. The MCF detects events associated with a trigger based on the wireless-specific signaling. The call agent is informed of the events by the MCF through session initiating protocol (SIP) extensions.
Claims27
A method for processing a wireless-specific trigger, comprising:
- receiving a wireless-specific trigger for a call from a call agent at a mobility control function (MCF) for a wireless access network to provide a wireless-specific service;
- detecting an event associated with the wireless-specific trigger based on wireless-specific signaling of the wireless access network;
- and
- communicating the event to the call agent through a session initiation protocol (STP) extension.
A system for processing a wireless-specific trigger, comprising:
- means for receiving a wireless-specific trigger for a call from a call agent at a mobility control function (MCF) for a wireless access network to provide a wireless-specific service;
- means for detecting an event associated with the wireless-specific trigger based on wireless-specific signaling of the wireless access network;
- and
- means for communicating the event to the call agent through a session initiation protocol (SIP) extension.
Software for processing a wireless-specific trigger, the software embodied in a computer readable medium and operable to:
- receive a wireless-specific trigger for a call from a call agent at a mobility control function (MCF) for a wireless access network to provide a wireless-specific service;
- detect an event associated with the wireless-specific trigger based on wireless-specific signaling of the wireless access network;
- and
- communicate the event to the call agent through a session initiation protocol (SIP) extension.
A method for processing a wireless-specific trigger, comprising:
- receiving a wireless-specific trigger for a call from a call agent at a bearer traffic gateway to provide a wireless-specific service;
- detecting an event associated with the wireless-specific trigger at the bearer traffic gateway;
- notifying a mobility function control (MCF) of the event;
- and
- communicating the event from the bearer traffic gateway to the call agent through a session initiation protocol (SIP) extension.
