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.
Claims22
A method for providing IP network information to a network service provider, comprising:
- receiving at a voice call continuity application server a first message including an indication that a call to a mobile device has been dropped by an IP network;
- and
- accessing a most recently received second message containing geographic update information of a plurality of periodically received messages containing geographic update information, the second message including a geographic location of the mobile device;
- extracting the geographic location of the mobile device from the most recently received second message responsive to the first message;
- 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 a mobile device a plurality of headers to a voice call continuity application server each header containing location information defining a geographic location for the mobile device;
- transmitting a message to the voice call continuity application server from the mobile device indicating a call has been dropped by an IP network;
- and
- extracting location information defining the geographic location from a most recent header received at the voice call continuity application server responsive to the message;
- transmitting the location information defining the geographic location from the most recent 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 message and the location information defining the geographic location in the most recent header.

A method for providing IP network information to a network service provider, comprising:
- transmitting from a mobile device a plurality of first messages to a voice call continuity application server each first message containing location information defining a geographic location for the mobile device;
- transmitting a second message to the voice call continuity application server from the mobile device indicating a call has been dropped by an IP network;
- extracting the location information defining the geographic location from a most recent first message received at the voice call continuity application server responsive to the second message;
- transmitting the extracted location information defining the geographic location from the most recent first message 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 first message;
- and
- altering 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 a first 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 an the indication that the call has been dropped;
- wherein the voice call continuity application server accesses a most recently reviewed second message of a plurality of previously received second message, the second messages 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 second message responsive to the first message.
