Abstract
A method, apparatus and system are provided for acquiring an access point name for an application employing a local Internet protocol breakout service. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a user management subsystem (820) configured to initiate an Internet protocol application. The apparatus also includes a local breakout service monitoring subsystem (810) configured to monitor availability of a local Internet protocol local breakout service and to obtain an access point name from the local Internet protocol local breakout service when the local Internet protocol local breakout service is available. The apparatus also includes an access point name selection control subsystem (830) configured to bind the access point name to the Internet protocol application.
Claims30
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
- initiate an Internet protocol application;
- monitor availability of a local Internet protocol local breakout service and to obtain an access point name from said local Internet protocol local breakout service when said local Internet protocol local breakout service is available;
- and
- bind said access point name to said Internet protocol application.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for initiating an Internet protocol application;
- means for monitoring availability of a local Internet protocol local breakout service;
- means for obtaining an access point name from said local Internet protocol local breakout service when said local Internet protocol local breakout service is available;
- and
- means for binding said access point name to said Internet protocol application.
A computer program product comprising program code stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to initiate an Internet protocol application, monitor availability of a local Internet protocol local breakout service, obtain an access point name from said local Internet protocol local breakout service when said local Internet protocol local breakout service is available, and bind said access point name to said Internet protocol application.
A method, comprising:
- initiating an Internet protocol application;
- monitoring availability of a local Internet protocol local breakout service;
- obtaining an access point name from said local Internet protocol local breakout service when said local Internet protocol local breakout service is available;
- and
- binding said access point name to said Internet protocol application.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
- initiate a network-originated application;
- determine a radio bearer through which said network-originated application is invited;
- and
- obtain an access point name from a network-originated service inviting said network-originated application and bind said access point name to said network-originated application system.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for initiating a network-originated application;
- means for determining a radio bearer through which said network-originated application is invited;
- means for obtaining an access point name from a network-originated service inviting said network-originated application;
- and
- means for binding said access point name to said network-originated application system.
A computer program product comprising program code stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to initiate a network-originated application, determine a radio bearer through which said network-originated application is invited, obtain an access point name from a network-originated service inviting said network-originated application, and bind said access point name to said network-originated application system.
A method, comprising:
- initiating a network-originated application;
- determining a radio bearer through which said network-originated application is invited;
- obtaining an access point name from a network-originated service inviting said network-originated application;
- and
- binding said access point name to said network-originated application system.
