Processing data

A system for processing data in a telecommunications network, the system comprising:

• at least one memory including computer program code;
• at least one processor in data communication with the memory, the processor being configured to:
• receive, at a first network node in a cluster of network nodes, a communication session setup request, wherein the communication session setup request includes a request for setup of a communication session with a subscriber device, wherein the subscriber device is one of a plurality of subscriber devices;
• retrieve, at the first network node, in response to receipt of the communication session setup request, registration data relating to the subscriber device from a shared registration data store, wherein the shared registration data store comprises registration data for the plurality of subscriber devices, and wherein the shared registration data store is separate from a subscriber configuration network node responsible for storing subscriber configuration data in the network;
• and
• route, at the first network node, the communication session setup request based on the retrieved registration data, wherein the retrieved registration data relates to the subscriber device, and wherein the retrieved registration data has been previously stored in the shared registration data store by a second, different network node in the cluster of network nodes, and wherein the previous storing of the retrieved registration data was related to a registration procedure conducted for the subscriber device by the second, different network node;
• wherein the first network node and the second, different network node are responsible for at least one of conducting registration procedures for a plurality of subscriber devices and processing routing data relating to communication sessions conducted in the network;
• and
• wherein the shared registration data store is accessible by each network node in the cluster of network nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause a computerized device to perform a method of processing data in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a first network node in a cluster of network nodes, a communication session setup request, wherein the communication session setup request includes a request for setup of a communication session with a subscriber device, wherein the subscriber device is one of a plurality of subscriber devices;
• in response to receiving the communication session setup request, retrieving, at the first network node, registration data relating to the subscriber device from a shared registration data store, wherein the shared registration data store includes registration data for the plurality of subscription devices, and wherein the shared registration data store is separate from a subscriber configuration network node responsible for storing subscriber configuration data in the network;
• and
• routing, at the first network node, the communication session setup request based on the retrieved registration data, wherein the retrieved registration data relates to the subscriber device, and wherein the retrieved registration data has been previously stored in the shared registration data store by a second, different network node in the cluster of network nodes, and wherein the previous storing of the retrieved registration data was related to a registration procedure conducted for the subscriber device by the second, different network node;
• wherein the first network node and the second, different network node are responsible for at least one of conducting registration procedures for a plurality of subscriber devices and processing routing data relating to communication sessions conducted in the network;
• and
• wherein the shared registration data store is accessible by each network node in the cluster of network nodes.

A system for processing data in a telecommunications network, the system comprising:

• a first network node in a cluster of network nodes responsible for at least one of conducting registration procedures for subscriber devices and processing routing data relating to communication sessions conducted in the network, the first network node comprising at least a first memory including computer program code and at least a first processor in data communication with the first memory, wherein the first processor is configured to:
• receive, at the first network node in the cluster of network nodes, a registration request, wherein the registration request includes a request for registration of a subscriber device, wherein the subscriber device is one of a plurality of subscriber devices;
• and
• store, in response to receipt of the registration request, registration data relating to the subscriber device in a shared registration data store, wherein the shared registration data store comprises registration data for the plurality of subscriber devices, and wherein the shared registration data store is separate from a subscriber configuration network node responsible for storing subscriber configuration data in the network;
• and
• a second, different network node in the cluster of network nodes, the second network node comprising at least a second memory including computer program code and at least a second processor in data communication with the second memory, wherein the second processor is configured to:
• receive a communication session setup request, wherein the communication session setup request includes a request for setup of a communication session with the subscriber device in the plurality of subscriber devices;
• retrieve, in response to receiving the communication session setup request, the registration data relating to the subscriber device from the shared registration data store;
• and
• route the communication session setup request based on the retrieved registration data;
• wherein the shared registration data store is accessible by each network node in the cluster of network nodes.

A method of processing data in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a first network node in a cluster of network nodes, a registration request, wherein the registration request includes a request for registration of a subscriber device, wherein the subscriber devices is one of a plurality of subscriber devices within the network;
• in response to receiving of the registration request, determining, at the first network node, that registration data relating to the subscriber device already exists in a shared registration data store, wherein the shared registration data store included registration data for the plurality of subscriber devices, and wherein the existing registration data relating to the subscriber device has been previously stored in the shared registration data store by a second, different network node in the cluster of network nodes, wherein the previous storing of the existing registration data was related to a registration procedure conducted for the subscriber device by the second, different network node, and wherein the shared registration data store is separate from a subscriber configuration network node responsible for storing subscriber configuration data in the network;
• and
• in response to the determination, updating the existing registration data relating to the subscriber device in the shared registration data store;
• wherein the first network node and the second, different network node are responsible for at least one of conducting registration procedures for a plurality of subscriber devices and processing routing data relating to communication sessions conducted in the network;
• and
• wherein the shared registration data store is accessible by each network node in the cluster of network nodes.
