Intelligent Network Protocol Capability Detection for Call Anchoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication disruptions occur when moving between different serving systems due to protocol differences and lack of knowledge about network device protocols, leading to unstable call anchoring in cellular and packet domains.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detect movement between serving systems, access a stored list mapping unique IDs with intelligent network protocol capabilities, and determine if the new system supports anchoring calls using these protocols, directing the system to use appropriate protocols for seamless call continuity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the communication device moves between different serving systems, then the communication coverage is improved, but the communication stability deteriorates due to protocol differences
Solution Approach 1:
The communication device pre-stores a mapping list containing unique IDs and intelligent network protocol capabilities of multiple serving systems before movement occurs. When moving between serving systems, the device can immediately query this pre-stored information to determine protocol compatibility, avoiding communication disruptions caused by protocol differences and ensuring stable handover while expanding communication coverage
2Adaptability or versatility
If the communication device uses multiple protocols for anchoring calls in different domains, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an application server as an intermediary that stores and manages the mapping information between serving system unique IDs and their intelligent network protocol capabilities. The communication device queries this intermediary to obtain protocol capability information, eliminating the need for the device to store and manage multiple protocol specifications locally, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining high protocol adaptability across different domains

AI summary
A method (200) for determining capability of a serving system for anchoring a call using an intelligent network protocol is provided. A communication network (100) includes a plurality of serving systems. Each serving system of the plurality of serving systems is associated with a unique identifier (ID). The method at a communication device (124) includes detecting (204) a movement of the communication device from a first serving system (102) to a second serving system (104) based on the unique ID of the first serving system and the unique ID of the second serving system. Further, the method includes accessing (206) a list that includes a mapping of the unique ID of each serving system with the intelligent network protocol capability of the serving system. Furthermore, the method includes determining (208), based on the list, whether the second serving system supports the intelligent network protocol for anchoring a call.
