Method and devices of notifying a first user equipment, UE, of a subscriber in a telecommunication network on a dialog status of a second UE of said same subscriber
A method of notifying a first User Equipment, UE, of a subscriber in a telecommunication network on a dialog status of a second UE of said same subscriber, said method comprising the steps of receiving, by an Application Server, AS, in said telecommunication network a register message for indicating to said AS that said first UE has registered in said telecommunication network, wherein said register message comprises an indication that said first UE is capable to receive Dialog Event notifications regarding dialog status events of UEs associated with said same subscriber, retrieving, by said AS, and triggered by said receiving of said register message, said dialog status of said second UE of said same subscriber, and sending, by said AS, to said first UE, a notify message for notifying said first UE on said retrieved dialog status of said second UE.
1. A method performed by an Application Server (AS) in a telecommunication network, said method comprising:
receiving a register message from a Call State Control Function (CSCF) in the telecommunication network, the register message sent by the CSCF responsive to a registration request message sent by a first User Equipment (UE) associated with a subscriber and requesting registration in the telecommunication network, the register message indicating that standalone notification messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving other UEs that are registered in the telecommunication network and associated with the same subscriber; and
sending a standalone notification message for the first UE, responsive to occurrence of a Dialog Event of the one or more types indicated in the register message and involving one of the other UEs.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising detecting the occurrence of the Dialog Event.
3. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the register message includes header information that indicates the one or more types of Dialog Events for which standalone notification messages should be sent.
4. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises refraining, by said AS, from starting a Finite State Machine associated with the first UE.
5. A method performed by a Call State Control Function (CSCF) in a telecommunication network, the method comprising:
receiving a registration request message, requesting registration of a first User Equipment (UE) in the telecommunication network, wherein the first UE is associated with a subscriber and the registration request message indicates that standalone notification messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving other UEs that are registered in the telecommunication network and associated with the same subscriber; and
sending a register message towards an Application Server (AS) in the telecommunication network, where the register message indicates that the first UE has registered in said telecommunication network and that standalone messages should be sent towards the first UE for the one or more types of Dialog Events involving the other UEs.
6. A method of requesting registration in a telecommunication network, by a first user equipment (UE) of a subscriber in said telecommunication network, wherein said method comprises:
sending, by said first UE, a registration request message, requesting registration of said first UE in said telecommunication network, wherein said registration request message indicates that standalone notification messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving other UEs that are registered in the telecommunication network and associated with the same subscriber; and
receiving, by said first UE, from an Application Server (AS) in said telecommunication network, one or more standalone notification messages indicating respective occurrences of Dialog Events of the one or more types and involving one or more of the other UEs.
7. An application server (AS) configured for operation in a telecommunication network and comprising:
receive equipment arranged for receiving a register message from a Call State Control Function (CSCF) in the telecommunication network, the register message sent by the CSCF responsive to a registration request message sent by a first User Equipment (UE) associated with a subscriber and requesting registration in a telecommunication network, the register message indicating that standalone notification messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving other UEs that are registered in the telecommunication network and associated with the same subscriber;
and
transmit equipment arranged for sending a standalone notification message for the first UE, responsive to occurrence of a Dialog Event of the one or more types indicated in the register message and involving one of the other UEs.
8. The application server in accordance with claim 7 , wherein said application server further comprises
detect equipment arranged for detecting the occurrence of the Dialog Event.
9. The AS in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the register message includes header information that indicates the one or more types of Dialog Events for which standalone notification messages should be sent.
10. The AS in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the AS is configured to refrain from starting a Finite State Machine associated with the first UE.
11. A Call State Control Function (CSCF) configured for operation in a telecommunication network, the CSCF comprising:
receive equipment arranged for receiving a registration request message, requesting registration of a first User Equipment (UE) in the telecommunication network, the registration request message indicating that standalone notification messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving other UEs that are registered in the telecommunication network and associated with the same subscriber;
and
transmit equipment arranged for transmitting a register message towards an Application Server (AS) in the telecommunication network, where the register message indicates that the first UE has registered in said telecommunication network and that standalone messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving the other UEs.
12. A first User Equipment (UE) configured for operation in a telecommunication network, the first UE comprising:
transmit equipment arranged for sending a registration request message, requesting registration of said first UE in said telecommunication network, the registration request message indicating that standalone notification messages should be sent towards the first UE for one or more types of Dialog Events involving other UEs that are registered in the telecommunication network and associated with the same subscriber; and
receive equipment arranged for receiving, from an Application Server (AS) in said telecommunication network, one or more standalone notification messages indicating respective occurrences of Dialog Events of the one or more types and involving one or more of the other UEs.
13. The first UE, in accordance with claim 12 , wherein said first UE further comprises establish equipment arranged for establishing an updated connection to said telecommunication network by sending a register message towards said AS.
