Abstract
A method for providing IP network information to a network service provider receives at a voice call continuity application server an indication that a call to a mobile device has been dropped by the IP network and transmits information relating to the dropped call from the voice call continuity application server to a monitoring system of the network service provider.
Claims16
A method for providing IP network information to a network service provider, comprising:
- receiving at a voice call continuity application server an SMS message including an indication that a call to a mobile device has been dropped by an IP network;
- accessing a most recently received PANI header of a plurality of previously received PANI headers, the PANI headers each including a geographic location of the mobile device;
- extracting the geographic locations of the mobile device from the most recently received PANI header responsive to the SMS message;
- and
- transmitting the geographic location relating to the dropped call from the voice call continuity application server to a monitoring server of the network service provider that tracks geographic locations at which IP network calls are dropped.

A method for providing IP network information to a network service provider, comprising:
- transmitting from the mobile device a plurality of PANI headers to the voice call continuity application server, each PANI header containing location information defining a geographic location for the mobile device;
- transmitting an SMS message to the voice call continuity application server from the mobile device indicating the call has been dropped by an IP network;
- extracting the location information defining the geographic location from a most recent PANI header received at the voice call continuity application server responsive to the SMS message;
- and
- transmitting location information defining the geographic location from the most recent PANI header relating to the dropped call from the voice call continuity application server to a monitoring server of the network service provider that tracks geographic locations at which IP network calls are dropped responsive to the SMS message and the location information defining the geographic location in the plurality of PANI headers.

A method for providing IP network information to a network service provider, comprising:
- transmitting from a mobile device a plurality of PANI headers to a voice call continuity application server, each PANI header containing location information defining a geographic location for the mobile device;
- transmitting an SMS message to the voice call continuity application server from the mobile device indicating the call has been dropped by an IP network;
- extracting the location information defining the geographic location from a most recent PANI header received at the voice call continuity application server responsive to the SMS message;
- transmitting the extracted location information defining the geographic location from the most recent PANI header relating to the dropped call from the voice call continuity application server to a monitoring server of the network service provider that tracks geographic locations at which IP network calls are dropped responsive to the SMS message;
- and
- altering the operation of the IP network responsive to the information relating the dropped call transmitted to the monitoring server.
3 more elements
A system for providing IP network information to a network service provider, comprising:
- a voice call continuity application server for receiving an SMS message that a call to a mobile device has been dropped by an IP network;
- wherein the voice call continuity application server further transmits information relating to the dropped call to a monitoring system of the network service provider responsive to the indication that the call has been dropped;
- wherein the voice call continuity application server accesses a most recently received PANI header of a plurality of previously received PANI headers, the PANI headers each including a geographic location of the mobile device;
- and
- the voice call continuity application server further extracts the geographic locations of the mobile device from the most recently received PANI header responsive to the SMS message.
