Abstract

A method comprises receiving information for handover of a user equipment from a first connection to a second connection. The information for handover comprises information of a real-time text component of a call in progress in the first connection. The first connection comprises one of a packet switched connection and a circuit switched connection, and the second connection comprises the other of a packet switched connection and a circuit switched connection. The method further comprises using the information for handover to enable continuity of the real-time text component in the second connection.

Claims (16)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, from a node, a request for continuity of a call during or after handover of a user equipment from a packet-switched connection to a circuit-switched connection;

determining whether said call comprises a T.140 real-time text component; and

informing said node when it is determined that said call comprises said T.140 real-time text component,

wherein said node comprises a mobile switching centre.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said T.140 real-time text component comprises a cellular text telephony modem codec component.

3. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;

and at least one memory including computer program code;

the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

receive, from a node, a request for continuity of a call during or after handover of a user equipment from a packet-switched connection to a circuit-switched connection;

determine whether said call comprises a T.140 real-time text component; and

inform said node when it is determined that said call comprises said T.140 real-time text component,

wherein said node comprises a mobile switching centre.

4. The apparatus as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said T.140 real-time text component comprises a cellular text telephony modem codec component.

5. A computer program embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, said program comprising computer executable instructions which, when run on one or more processors, perform the method of claim 1 .
