Providing session initiation protocol request contents method and system
View Patent ↗An embodiment provides a user equipment that includes a processor configured to receive a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) NOTIFY message transmitted by a network component as a result of a registration event. The SIP NOTIFY message contains at least a portion of information included in a first SIP message sent between a first user equipment and the network component. Another embodiment provides method and apparatus for a network node to determine whether filter criteria include one or more indicators that specify the need for information, and including in a second SIP message the information specified by the one or more indicators.
1. A method for providing information to an Application Server (AS) by a network component, the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Register message;
determining whether filter criteria indicate a need for a new SIP message, and further determining whether the filter criteria indicate the new SIP message is to comprise at least one of the SIP Register message as a whole or a SIP response message, wherein the determinations are responsive to reception of the SIP Register message; and
including a Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) body in the body of the new SIP message, the MIME body including at least one of the SIP Register message as a whole or the SIP response message.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending the new SIP message to the AS.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the received SIP Register message comprises a first request uniform resource identifier (Request URI), the first Request URI comprising a SIP registrar address, and wherein the new SIP message comprises a second Request URI, the second Request URI comprising an address of the AS.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising downloading a user profile to the network component.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user profile comprises the filter criteria.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the included SIP response message is a copy of a SIP 200 OK message sent to the UE in response to the SIP Register message.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising including as a contact header field the request uniform resource identifier (R-URI) of the network entity.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the new SIP message is a SIP NOTIFY message containing a registration event package transmitted as a result of a registration event, and the new SIP message contains the SIP Register message as a whole.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the “To:” field of the new SIP message contains an identifier of the UE, and wherein the “From:” field of the new SIP message contains an identifier of the network entity.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network component is a serving call session control function.
11. A component in a telecommunications network, the component comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Register message from a user equipment (UE);
determine whether filter criteria indicate a need for a new SIP message, and further determine whether the filter criteria indicate the new SIP message is to comprise at least one of the SIP Register message as a whole or a SIP response message, wherein the determinations are responsive to reception of the SIP Register message; and
include a Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) body in the body of the new SIP message, the MIME body including at least one of the SIP Register message as a whole or the SIP response message.
12. The component of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to send the new SIP message to an Application Server (AS).
13. The component of claim 12 , wherein the received SIP Register message comprises a first request uniform resource identifier (Request URI), the first Request URI comprising a SIP registrar address, and wherein the new SIP message comprises a second Request URI, the second Request URI comprising an address of the AS.
14. The component of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to download a user profile to the network component.
15. The component of claim 14 , wherein the user profile comprises the filter criteria.
16. The component of claim 11 , wherein the included SIP response message is a copy of a SIP 200 OK message sent to the UE in response to the SIP Register message.
17. The component of claim 11 , wherein the new SIP message is a SIP NOTIFY message containing a registration event package transmitted as a result of a registration event, and the new SIP message contains the SIP Register message as a whole.
18. The component of claim 11 , wherein the component is a serving call session control function.
19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions adapted to be executed by a processor to implement a method for providing information to an Application Server (AS), the method comprising:
the processor receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Register message;
the processor determining whether filter criteria indicate a need for a new SIP message, and further determining whether the filter criteria indicate the new SIP message is to comprise at least one of the SIP Register message as a whole or a SIP response message, wherein the determinations are responsive to reception of the SIP Register message; and
the processor including a Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) body in the body of the new SIP message, the MIME body including at least one of the SIP Register message as a whole or a SIP response message,
wherein the received SIP Register message comprises a first Request Uniform Resource Identifier (Request URI), the first Request URI comprising a SIP registrar address, and wherein the new SIP message comprises a second Request URI, the second Request URI comprising an address of the AS.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the method further comprises the processor downloading a user profile, wherein the user profile comprises the filter criteria.
