Management of syntax errors in signaling messages
View Patent ↗A signaling error management system handles a syntax error in a signaling message received by a wireless communication network from a wireless communication device. The signaling error management system comprises a processing system and a communication transceiver. The processing system is configured to process text of the signaling message to detect the syntax error, correlate the syntax error to an error code, and correlate the error code to a uniform resource identifier (URI). The communication transceiver is configured to transfer the error code and the URI for delivery to the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device uses the URI to retrieve correction data for the syntax error.
1. A method of operating a wireless communication network to handle a syntax error in a signaling message received from a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
responsive to receiving the signaling message transferred by the wireless communication device, processing text of the signaling message to detect the syntax error in the signaling message;
correlating the syntax error to an error code by at least correlating the syntax error to a type of previously logged errors;
correlating the error code to a uniform resource identifier (URI) that corresponds to correction data for the syntax error and is generated after a threshold number of occurrences of the type of the previously logged errors; and
transferring the error code and the URI for delivery to the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device uses the URI to retrieve the correction data for the syntax error.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the correction data comprises information for a user of the wireless communication device.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the correction data comprises program instructions that direct the wireless communication device to correct the syntax error.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the correction data comprises program instructions that direct the wireless communication device to update a protocol associated with the syntax error.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein correlating the syntax error to the error code comprises searching a database correlating the syntax error to the type of previously logged errors.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the signaling message comprises a session description protocol (SDP) message.
7. A signaling error management system to handle a syntax error in a signaling message received by a wireless communication network from a wireless communication device, the system comprising:
responsive to receiving the signaling message, a processing system comprising circuitry configured to process text of the signaling message to detect the syntax error in the signaling message, correlate the syntax error to an error code by at least correlating the syntax error to a type of previously logged errors, and correlate the error code to a uniform resource identifier (URI) that corresponds to correction data for the syntax error and is generated after a threshold number of occurrences of the type of the previously logged errors; and
a communication transceiver configured to transfer the error code and the URI for delivery to the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device uses the URI to retrieve the correction data for the syntax error.
8. The system of claim 7 wherein the correction data comprises information for a user of the wireless communication device.
9. The system of claim 7 wherein the correction data comprises program instructions that direct the wireless communication device to correct the syntax error.
10. The system of claim 7 wherein the correction data comprises program instructions that direct the wireless communication device to update a protocol associated with the syntax error.
11. The system of claim 7 wherein the processing system configured to correlate the syntax error to the error code comprises the processing system configured to search a database that correlates the syntax error to the type of previously logged errors.
12. The system of claim 7 wherein the signaling message comprises a session description protocol (SDP) message.
13. A computer apparatus to handle a syntax error in a signaling message received by a wireless communication network from a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising:
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing software instructions;
the software instructions configured, when executed by a computer system, to direct the computer system to process text of the signaling message to detect the syntax error responsive to receiving the signaling message, correlate the syntax error to an error code by at least correlating the syntax error to a type of previously logged errors, correlate the error code to a uniform resource identifier (URI) that corresponds to correction data for the syntax error and is generated after a threshold number of occurrences of the type of the previously logged errors, and transfer the error code and the URI for delivery to the wireless communication device, wherein the wireless communication device uses the URI to retrieve the correction data for the syntax error.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the correction data comprises information for a user of the wireless communication device.
15. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the correction data comprises program instructions that direct the wireless communication device to correct the syntax error.
16. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the correction data comprises program instructions that direct the wireless communication device to update a protocol associated with the syntax error.
17. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the software instructions configured to direct the computer system to correlate the syntax error to the error code comprises the software instructions configured to direct the computer system to search a database that correlates the syntax error to the type of previously logged errors.
