Abstract
A method and a system is described for controlling a service in a service provisioning network. The method including the steps of: a serving network node associated with a user terminal receiving a registration message, the user terminal having one or more of services, preferably VoIP services; and, the serving network node retrieving in response to the registration message service routing information associated with the first user terminal, the service routing information being arranged to route service messages associated with the first user terminal via a stateless application server, the stateless application server being adapted to perform control actions on said service messages.
Claims17
A method of controlling a service in a service provisioning network, the method comprising:
- a serving network node associated with a user terminal receiving a registration message, said user terminal comprising one or more VoIP call services;
- the serving network node retrieving, in response to the registration message, service routing information associated with the first user terminal, the service routing information being arranged to route at least one service message associated with said first user terminal via a stateless application server, said stateless application server being adapted to perform at least one control action on said service message,
- wherein the stateless application server is triggered to perform a control action if a service message received by the stateless application server matches a service message listed in a pre-configured list of service messages, said list being stored in a memory of said stateless application server or in a database connected to said stateless application server.
A stateless application server for use in a service provisioning network, the stateless application server being configured to control service messages, the server comprising:
- means for receiving a service message from a serving network node associated with a user terminal, the user terminal comprising one or more VoIP services;
- means for initiating a session using a SIP Request message in response to a received SIP response message;
- a memory comprising one or more pre-configured service messages, one or more SIP response messages, one or more redirection messages and/or one or more error messages, and/or one or more SIP response messages from the SIP response code classes 3xx and 5xx;
- means for initiating a control action in response to a receipt of a service message at said stateless application server, if said service message, after being received at the stateless application server, matches a service message stored in said memory.
A system for controlling service messages in a service provisioning network comprising a stateless application server, wherein the stateless application server comprises:
- means for receiving a service message from a serving network node associated with a user terminal, the user terminal comprising one or more VoIP services;
- means for initiating a session using a SIP Request message in response to a received SIP response message;
- a memory comprising one or more pre-configured service messages, one or more SIP response messages, one or more redirection messages and/or one or more error messages, and/or one or more SIP response messages from the SIP response code classes 3xx and 5xx;
- means for initiating a control action in response to a receipt of a service message at said stateless application server, if said service message, after being received at the stateless application server, matches a service message stored in said memory;
- and
- wherein the service provisioning network is connected to at least one user terminal, wherein the user terminal comprises one or more VoIP services, and wherein said service provisioning network is further connected to the stateless application server.
A computer program product for controlling service messages in a service provisioning network, the computer program product comprising software code portions stored in a computer readable memory and configured to execute the method of:
- retrieving, in response to a registration message, service routing information associated with a first user terminal, the service routing information being arranged to route at least one service message associated with said first user terminal via a stateless application server, said stateless application server being adapted to perform at least one control action on said service message,
- wherein the stateless application server is triggered to perform a control action if a service message received by the stateless application server matches a service message listed in a pre-configured list of service messages, said list being stored in a memory of said stateless application server or in a database connected to said stateless application server.
A computer program product for controlling service messages in a service provisioning network, the computer program product comprising software code portions stored in a computer readable memory and configured to execute the method of:
- receiving a service message from a serving network node associated with a user terminal, the user terminal comprising one or more VoIP services;
- initiating a session using a SIP Request message in response to a received SIP response message;
- and
- initiating a control action in response to a receipt of a service message at a stateless application server, if said service message, after being received at the stateless application server, matches a service message stored in a memory, the memory comprising one or more pre-configured service messages, one or more SIP response messages, one or more redirection messages and/or one or more error messages, and/or one or more SIP response messages from the SIP response code classes 3xx and 5xx.
