Media resource reservation request failure handling for voice over mobile wireless network
A method carried out by a telephony application server (TAS) is described that facilitates handling a digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification, issued by a call session control function, arising from a connection request from an originating mobile user equipment to a terminating mobile user equipment. The method includes the TAS receiving a connection request response message including the digital voice network connection request failure notification. The TAS detects a media resource reservation request failure error condition based on the connection request response message containing the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification. Thereafter, the TAS issues a configured error response message to initiate an alternative message connection between the originating mobile user equipment and a message file service, where the message file service comprises an interface facilitating receiving a message from the originating mobile user equipment to the terminating mobile user equipment.
1. A method for handling a digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification, issued by a call session control function, arising from a connection request from an originating mobile user equipment to a terminating mobile user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a connection request response message including the digital voice network connection request failure notification;
detecting a media resource reservation request failure error condition based on the connection request response message containing the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification;
issuing, by a call terminating side server in response to the detecting, a configured error response message to initiate an alternative message connection between the originating mobile user equipment and a message file service, where the message file service comprises an interface facilitating receiving a message from the originating mobile user equipment to the terminating mobile user equipment.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the message file service is a voicemail service.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the message file service is a text message service.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the message file service is an email message service.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request is a voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) media resource reservation request.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) error code.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message including an audio port field set to zero.
8. The method of claim 5 wherein, during the issuing, the configured error response message is directed to a serving call session control function (S-CSCF) to initiate establishing the alternative message connection.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein the media resource reservation request failure notification arises from a DIAMETER request.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for carrying out, on a network node including a processor for executing the computer-executable instructions, a method for handling a digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification, issued by a call session control function, arising from a connection request from an originating mobile user equipment to a terminating mobile user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a connection request response message including the digital voice network connection request failure notification;
detecting a media resource reservation request failure error condition based on the connection request response message containing the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification;
issuing, by a call terminating side server in response to the detecting, a configured error response message to initiate an alternative message connection between the originating mobile user equipment and a message file service, where the message file service comprises an interface facilitating receiving a message from the originating mobile user equipment to the terminating mobile user equipment.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the message file service is a voicemail service.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the message file service is a text message service.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the message file service is an email message service.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request is a voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) media resource reservation request.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) error code.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message including an audio port field set to zero.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 wherein, during the issuing, the configured error response message is directed to a serving call session control function (S-CSCF) to initiate establishing the alternative message connection.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the media resource reservation request failure notification arises from a DIAMETER request.
19. A mobile wireless data network telephony application server (TAS) node configured to operate in a mobile wireless network environment, the TAS comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium including computer-executable instructions, that when executed by on the processor, carry out a method for handling a digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification, issued by a call session control function, arising from a connection request from an originating mobile user equipment to a terminating mobile user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a connection request response message including the digital voice network connection request failure notification;
detecting a media resource reservation request failure error condition based on the connection request response message containing the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification;
issuing, by a call terminating side server in response to the detecting, a configured error response message to initiate an alternative message connection between the originating mobile user equipment and a message file service, where the message file service comprises an interface facilitating receiving a message from the originating mobile user equipment to the terminating mobile user equipment.
20. The TAS of claim 19 wherein the message file service is a voicemail service.
21. The TAS of claim 19 wherein the message file service is a text message service.
22. The TAS of claim 19 wherein the message file service is an email message service.
23. The TAS of claim 19 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request is a voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) media resource reservation request.
24. The TAS of claim 23 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) error code.
25. The TAS of claim 23 wherein the digital voice network media resource reservation request failure notification is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message including an audio port field set to zero.
26. The TAS of claim 23 wherein, during the issuing, the configured error response message is directed to a serving call session control function (S-CSCF) to initiate establishing the alternative message connection.
27. The TAS of claim 19 wherein the media resource reservation request failure notification arises from a DIAMETER request.
