Problems solved by technology

In particular, none of these systems can reach out beyond the limits of the particular network in which it is installed since it cannot influence the operation of such entities in other networks.
One deficiency of the state-of-the-art call reconnection systems described above pertains to their inability to reconnect inter-network dropped calls in which a reconnection system is installed in BNET (user B's network) but not in ANET (user A's network).
As noted above, state-of-the-art reconnection systems installed in BNET cannot reconnect a call dropped in ANET.
A second deficiency pertains generally to the implementation of these systems in existing networks.
Practically viewed, the large number of BSCs in a network and the vast variety of handset manufacturers and models in use present significant hurdles to any wide implementation of such systems on existing networks.

Embodiment Construction

1) General

[0035]a) Introduction and Overview

[0036]The present invention addresses these needs, in part, by providing a system for reconnecting dropped calls. The system, when installed in a network, supports reconnection of dropped calls in which at least one user is a user of the network. The system subject of the present invention is generally denoted as RCS—Reconnection System. It should be understood that that term is only a convenient abbreviation

[0037]In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a system and method for facilitating reconnection of dropped calls is provided. After a call is detected as having dropped user A, the RCS keeps user B online by reporting the drop event and announcing that call reconnection is feasible. If user B remains online, the RCS performs a sequence of repeated call attempts for a pre-determined period until user A's terminal rings and user A answers the call. If user A answers within the pre-determined time period, he / she is bridged to user...

Abstract

Reconnecting a dropped call between two parties by detecting an unintentional disconnection of one connection of the call using a system connected to a network associated with at least one of the parties to the call. A detection task receives the number identifications of the two parties; receives a release message associated with the call; and tests a cause-indicator in the received release message to determine a match to a prescribed criterion. In response to a match, a portion of the set of resources allocated to the call by the entities in a network of the party that was not unintentionally disconnected from the network are preserved while permitting release of all other resources allocated to the call. A reconnection task executes to ultimately reconnect the dropped party using at least the preserved portion of the set of resources allocated to the original call. A system is also described.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 315,076, filed on Mar. 18, 2010, entitled “Inter-Network Reconnection System,” which is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to communication systems and, more particularly, relates to dropped-call reconnection systems and methods configured to reconnect communications between a caller and a call destination, including among subscribers of potentially different networks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONTerminology[0003]Modern mobile communication systems include a vast variety of technologies and standards such as cellular systems, WiFi, WiMax, and more. Even within the cellular systems family different standards exist such as GSM, CDMA, TDMA, IDEN. These systems and technologies are generally used to transfer two types of content—voice and data. The introduction of technologies such as voice over i...
