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 (26)

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

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

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter “fe” identifies the one of the plurality of types of network nodes by name, wherein the name is one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function, a Serving Call Session Control Function, an Interconnect Border Control Function, or an Application Server.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter “fe” identifies the one of the plurality of types of network nodes by acronym, wherein the acronym is one of P-CSCF, S-CSCF, IBCF, or 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 user agent (UA) comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the UA to:

send a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request; and

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

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

9. The UA of claim 7 , wherein the parameter “fe” identifies the one of the plurality of types of network nodes by name, wherein the name is one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function, a Serving Call Session Control Function, an Interconnect Border Control Function, or an Application Server.

10. The UA of claim 7 , wherein the parameter “fe” identifies the one of the plurality of types of network nodes by acronym, wherein the acronym is one of P-CSCF, S-CSCF, IBCF, or AS.

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

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

13. A computer program product comprising instructions embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions, when executed by a processor of a user agent (UA), cause the UA to:

send a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request; and

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

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the indicator further comprises a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the parameter “fe” identifies the one of the plurality of types of network nodes by name, wherein the name is one of a Proxy Call Session Control Function, a Serving Call Session Control Function, an Interconnect Border Control Function, or an Application Server.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the parameter “fe” identifies the one of the plurality of types of network nodes by acronym, wherein the acronym is one of P-CSCF, S-CSCF, IBCF, or AS.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the originator is a server.

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