Abstract

A first wireless device transmits to a second wireless device, a SIP REGISTER message comprising a first Contact header field comprising an internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) identifier identifying a mission critical video capability of the first wireless device. The second wireless device transmits to an IMS network entity, a second SIP REGISTER message comprising a second Contact header field comprising the IMS identifier. The IMS network entity identifies a mission critical application server (MC AS) and registers the first wireless device to the MC AS. The MC AS: receives a SIP request from the IMS network entity for the first wireless device; determines that a mission critical video service can be established employing the SIP request and the mission critical video capability; and transmits the SIP request to the first wireless device via the second wireless device.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

discovering, by a first wireless device, a second wireless device, employing at least one of Method A or Method B of proximity services (ProSe), wherein:

the second wireless device provides ProSe relay service codes identifying mission critical services; and

the ProSe relay service codes are pre-provisioned in the second wireless device;

transmitting, by the first wireless device to the second wireless device, a first session initiation protocol (SIP) REGISTER message comprising a first Contact header field, wherein:

the first Contact header field comprises an IMS identifier identifying a mission critical video capability of the first wireless device; and

the IMS identifier is one of the following:

an IMS communication service identifier (ICSI); or

an IMS application reference identifier (IARI);

transmitting, by the second wireless device to an internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network entity, a second SIP REGISTER message comprising a second Contact header field, the second Contact header field comprising the IMS identifier;

identifying, by the IMS network entity and employing a profile of the first wireless device, at least one mission critical application server (MC AS);

registering, by the IMS network entity, the first wireless device to the at least one MC AS;

receiving, by the at least one MC AS from the IMS network entity, a SIP request comprising the IMS identifier for the first wireless device;

determining, by the at least one MC AS and employing the SIP request and the mission critical video capability, that a mission critical video service can be established; and

transmitting, by the at least one MC AS, the SIP request, to the first wireless device via the second wireless device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device employs the second wireless device to access Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and IMS network.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device has mission critical data capability.

4. A method comprising:

discovering, by a first wireless device, a second wireless device, wherein:

the second wireless device provides ProSe relay service codes identifying mission critical services; or

the ProSe relay service codes are pre-provisioned in the second wireless device;

transmitting, by a first wireless device to a second wireless device, a first session initiation protocol (SIP) REGISTER message comprising a first Contact header field, wherein:

the first wireless device has at least one of full duplex, dispatching, and administering capabilities; and

the first Contact header field comprises an IMS identifier identifying a mission critical video capability of the first wireless device and registering one or more of the full duplex, dispatching, and administering capabilities, wherein the IMS identifier is one of the following:

an IMS communication service identifier (ICSI); or

an IMS application reference identifier (IARI);

transmitting, by the second wireless device to an internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network entity, a second SIP REGISTER message comprising a second Contact header field, the second Contact header field comprising the IMS identifier;

identifying, by the IMS network entity and employing a profile of the first wireless device, at least one mission critical application server (MC AS);

registering, by the IMS network entity, the first wireless device to the at least one MC AS;

receiving, by the at least one MC AS from the IMS network entity, a SIP request comprising the IMS identifier for the first wireless device;

determining, by the at least one MC AS and employing the SIP request and the mission critical video capability, that a mission critical video service can be established; and

transmitting, by the at least one MC AS, the SIP request, to the first wireless device via the second wireless device.

5. A method comprising:

discovering, by a first wireless device, a second wireless device, wherein:

the second wireless device provides ProSe relay service codes identifying mission critical services; or

the ProSe relay service codes are pre-provisioned in the second wireless device;

transmitting, by the first wireless device to the second wireless device, a first session initiation protocol (SIP) REGISTER message comprising a first Contact header field, wherein:

the second wireless device modifies at least one of a header of the SIP REGISTER message or a body of the SIP REGISTER message from the first wireless device;

the first Contact header field comprises an IMS identifier identifying a mission critical video capability of the first wireless device; and

the IMS identifier is one of the following:

an IMS communication service identifier (ICSI); or

an IMS application reference identifier (IARI);

identifying, by the IMS network entity and employing a profile of the first wireless device, at least one mission critical application server (MC AS);

registering, by the IMS network entity, the first wireless device to the at least one MC AS;

receiving, by the at least one MC AS from the IMS network entity, a SIP request comprising the IMS identifier for the first wireless device;

determining, by the at least one MC AS and employing the SIP request and the mission critical video capability, that a mission critical video service can be established; and

transmitting, by the at least one MC AS, the SIP request, to the first wireless device via the second wireless device.
