Abstract

A method for performing initial registration is provided. The method includes receiving a server timeout message, the server timeout message including at least a field set to a value equal to a value received during a first registration. The method further includes initiating restoration procedures by performing an initial registration.

Claims (40)

1. A method in a user agent (UA) for identifying an originator of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) reject response, the method comprising:

sending a SIP request; and

receiving, from the originator, a SIP reject response to the SIP request, the SIP reject response including an indicator comprising a parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating an assignment of one of a plurality of types of network nodes to the parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating a type of network node for the originator.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise names for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise acronyms for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the originator is a server.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SIP reject response includes a SIP header, the SIP header including the indicator.

7. A method in a user agent (UA) for identifying an originator of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) reject response, the method comprising:

receiving a SIP request; and

sending a SIP reject response to the SIP request, the SIP reject response including an indicator comprising a parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating an assignment of one of a plurality of types of network nodes to the parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating a type of network node for the originator.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise names for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise acronyms for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the originator is a server.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the SIP reject response includes a SIP header, the SIP header including the indicator.

13. A user agent (UA) to identify an originator of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) reject response, the UA comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

receive a SIP request; and

send a SIP reject response to the SIP request, the SIP reject response including an indicator comprising a parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating an assignment of one of a plurality of types of network nodes to the parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating a type of network node for the originator.

14. The UA of claim 13 , wherein the indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

15. The UA of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise names for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

16. The UA of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise acronyms for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

17. The UA of claim 13 , wherein the originator is a server.

18. The UA of claim 13 , wherein the SIP reject response includes a SIP header, the SIP header including the indicator.

19. A user agent (UA) to identify an originator of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) reject response, the UA comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

send a SIP request; and

receive, from the originator, a SIP response to the SIP request, the SIP response including an indicator comprising a parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating an assignment of one of a plurality of types of network nodes to the parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating a type of network node for the originator.

20. The UA of claim 19 , wherein the indicator comprises a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

21. The UA of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise names for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

22. The UA of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of types of network nodes comprise acronyms for at least one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interconnect Border Control Function (IBCF), or an Application Server (AS).

23. The UA of claim 19 , wherein the originator is a server.

24. The UA of claim 19 , wherein the SIP reject response includes a SIP header, the SIP header including the indicator.

25. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor of a user agent (UA) configured to identify an originator of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) reject response, cause the processor to:

receive a SIP request; and

send a SIP reject response to the SIP request, the SIP reject response including an indicator comprising a parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating an assignment of one of a plurality of types of network nodes to the parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating a type of network node for the originator.

26. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor of a user agent (UA) configured to identify an originator of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) reject response, cause the processor to:

send a SIP request; and

receive, from the originator, a SIP reject response to the SIP request, the SIP resect response including an indicator comprising a parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating an assignment of one of a plurality of types of network nodes to the parameter “fe”, the indicator indicating a type of network node for the originator.
