Network service access control

1. A telecommunications network, comprising:

a home subscriber server (HSS);

an authorization server that is different from the HSS; and

an anchoring network device communicatively connectable with user equipment, wherein the anchoring network device is configured to:

receive from the user equipment a first service message associated with a communication session, the first service message including information of a first session attribute;

determine identification information of the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is associated with a first party of one or more parties of the communication session and the identification information identifies a visited network in which the user equipment is roaming;

retrieve authorization information corresponding to the identification information from the authorization server;

in response to the authorization information indicating the first session attribute is not permitted, determine a second session attribute different from the first session attribute based at least in part on the first session attribute;

determine a second service message including information of the second session attribute; and

transmit the second service message to one or more parties of the telecommunication session via a communications interface of the anchoring network device.

2. The telecommunications network of claim 1 , wherein the first session attribute and the second session attribute comprise respective capabilities.

3. The telecommunications network of claim 2 , wherein the first session attribute is a video capability and the second session attribute is an audio capability.

4. The telecommunications network of claim 1 , wherein the first session attribute comprises a first set of one or more parties, and the second session attribute comprises a second set of one or more parties including fewer than all of the parties in the first set of one or more parties.

5. The telecommunications network of claim 1 , wherein the first session attribute and the second session attribute comprise respective protocols.

6. The telecommunications network of claim 1 , wherein the user equipment is associated with the first party of the telecommunication session and the one or more parties includes a second party different from the first party.

7. The telecommunications network of claim 1 , wherein the anchoring network device comprises a Rich Communication Suite (RCS) anchoring network device.

8. The telecommunications network of claim 5 , wherein the first session attribute comprises a Rich Communication Suite (RCS) protocol and the second session attribute comprises at least one of a Short Message Service (SMS) protocol or a Multimedia Message Service (MIMS) protocol.

9. The telecommunications network of claim 1 , wherein the anchoring network device is further configured to extract or derive the identification information from a P-Visited-Network-ID header of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request.

10. The telecommunications network according to claim 9 , wherein the anchoring network device is further configured to receive the identification information via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

11. The telecommunications network according to claim 1 , wherein the anchoring network device is further configured to, before retrieving the authorization information:

receive, from the HSS, service-access information associated with the first party; and

determine that the first service attribute is permitted in the communication session.

12. The telecommunications network according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information further identifies a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) associated with the user equipment.

13. The telecommunications network according to claim 1 , wherein the authorization server comprises a computer-readable memory and is configured to:

receive a modification instruction via a communications interface of the authorization server; and

in response, modify a mapping between identification information and authorization information stored in the computer-readable memory.

14. A method comprising, by a processor of an anchoring network device of a telecommunications network:

receiving, from user equipment of a telecommunications network, a first service message associated with a communication session, the first service message including information of a first session attribute;

determining identification information of the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is associated with a first party of one or more parties of the communication session and the identification information identifies a visited network in which the user equipment is roaming;

retrieving authorization information corresponding to the identification information from the authorization server;

in response to the authorization information indicating the first session attribute is not permitted, determining a second session attribute different from the first session attribute based at least in part on the first session attribute;

determining a second service message including information of the second session attribute; and

transmitting the second service message to one or more parties of the telecommunication session via a communications interface of the anchoring network device.
