Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus can be used to provide handover of on-hold sessions in converged networks. In various example implementations, an on-hold session between a mobile communication device and a fixed packet network-connected peer CPE can be handed over from a fixed packet domain to a cellular domain, and vice versa. In various example implementations, an on-hold session between a mobile communication device and a PSTN-connected peer CPE can be handed over from a fixed packet domain to a cellular domain, and vice versa.

Claims (33)

1. A method for handing over a session between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to a fixed packet network comprising:

initiating a session request from the mobile communication device through the fixed packet network to a mobility application server, wherein the session is between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to the fixed packet network;

accepting an on-hold command from a user of the mobile communication device;

the mobile communication device, in response to the on-hold command,

receiving media from the customer premises equipment;

discarding the media received from the customer premises equipment;

discontinuing sending to the customer premises equipment media originating from the mobile communication device;

initiating a request from the mobile communication device to hand over the session between the mobile communication device and the customer premises equipment through a second network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed packet network comprises a broadband network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed packet network comprises an IP network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication device is operable to communicate through a fixed packet network, and also through a cellular network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobility application server forwards the session request to the customer premises equipment.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the session request comprises a SIP Invite.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein handing over the session comprises an establishment of a connection point and a termination of a connection point.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the customer premises equipment comprises a modem.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed packet network comprises a data over cable network.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second network comprises a cellular network.

11. A system operable for handing over a session between a mobile communication device comprising a processor and a memory, and a customer premises equipment connected to a fixed packet network, the system comprising:

the processor and memory of the mobile communication device being operable to send a session request through the fixed packet network to a mobility application server, wherein the session is between a mobile communication device and a customer premises equipment connected to the fixed packet network;

the processor and memory of the mobile communication device being further operable to accept an on-hold command from a user of the mobile communication device, and in response to the on-hold command, the mobile communication device:

receives media from the customer premises equipment;

discards the media received from the customer premises equipment;

discontinues sending to the customer premises equipment media originating from the mobile communication device;

the processor and memory of the mobile communication device then being operable to send a request to hand over the session between the mobile communication device and the customer premises equipment through a second network.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the fixed packet network comprises a broadband network.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the fixed packet network comprises an IP network.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor and memory of the mobile communication device is operable to communicate through a fixed packet network, and also through a cellular network.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the mobility application server forwards the session request to the customer premises equipment.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the session request comprises a SIP Invite.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein handing over the session comprises an establishment of a connection point and a termination of a connection point.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the customer premises equipment comprises a modem.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the fixed packet network comprises a data over cable network.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second network comprises a cellular network.
