Definitions
- the present invention relates to providing Internet-based, conversational types of applications, e.g., a voice-over-IP application, and multimedia types of applications, e.g., streaming and multimedia message services, without the user having to lmow specific Internet addresses of remote devices or other entities with which a user may want to communicate using these types of applications.
- applications e.g., a voice-over-IP application
- multimedia types of applications e.g., streaming and multimedia message services
- the present invention draws upon two different areas of communication: data packet-based communication employing Internet addresses and circuit-based communication where telephone (or other identifier) number portability has evolved to enable a subscriber to "port" a subscriber telephone number or other communication identifier geographically and/or between service providers. Packet-based communications are addressed first.
- IP addresses When computers attached to a network communicate, Internet protocol (IP) addresses are used to identify those computers and typically correspond to 32 bit integers for IP version 4 or 128 bit integers IP version 6. Although such IP addresses provide a convenient, compact representation for specifying the source and destination for packets sent across an Internet, human users prefer to assign computers pronounceable, easily remembered names. As a result, the domain naming system (DNS) was developed to provide a scheme for assigning meaningful, high level names to a large set of computers, and to provide a mechanism that maps between high level computer names and IP addresses.
- DNS domain naming system
- the domain naming system can be viewed as a distributed, shared database of domain names and corresponding IP addresses.
- Domain servers more commonly called DNS servers, maintain these databases.
- An example of a common DNS server is a UNIX-type machine running a version of Berkeley Internet Naming Software (BIND).
- BIND Berkeley Internet Naming Software
- a domain name may consist of a sequence of subnames separated by a delimiter character - the period. Individual sections of the name might represent sites or groups, but the domain naming system simply refers to each section of a name as a label.
- An example of such a domain name is an Internet address such as http://www.ericsson.se or an e-mail address such as name@ericsson.com.
- the label after the period is the site name authorized by a central authority.
- the label(s) before the period is(are) the part of the name controlled by the specific site.
- the top level Internet domain corresponding to the site is the country code "se" for Sweden, and for
- Domain servers are conceptually arranged in a tree structure that corresponds to a naming hierarchy.
- the root of the tree is a server that recognizes the top level domains (or tiers) and knows which server resolves each domain. Given a name to resolve, the root can choose the correct server for that name.
- a set of name servers each provide resolution answers for one top level domain, e.g., se. A server at this domain knows which servers can resolve each of the subdomains under its domain.
- name servers provide answers for subdomains, e.g., erksson under se.
- the conceptual tree continues with one server at each level for which a subdomain has been defined.
- Links in the conceptual tree do not indicate physical network connections. Instead, they point to other name servers.
- domain name resolution proceeds top down, starting with the "root" name server and proceeding to servers located at the branches or leaves of the tree.
- client software forms a domain name query that contains the name to be resolved, a declaration of the class of the name, the type of answer desired, and a code that specifies whether the name server should translate the name completely. It sends the query to a DNS server for resolution.
- a DNS server receives a query, it checks to see if the name lies in the subdomain for which it is an authority.
- DHCP dynamic host configuration protocol
- IP addresses can be allocated to an entity either statically, i.e., a fixed IP address, or dynamically, i.e., only for as long as the entity is actively connected to the Internet.
- User devices like a computer entity or a mobile device in a global packet radio system (GPRS) system, are normally assigned temporary Internet addresses.
- GPRS global packet radio system
- the Internet and the domain naming system are designed to cany packet traffic for enabling computers to communicate.
- Other types of networks are designed to carry circuit-switched traffic.
- An example of a circuit-switched network is a legacy network, which employs the well-established Signaling System No. 7 (SS-7) as defined by various standards bodies.
- SS-7 Signaling System No. 7
- the routing of a telephone call through a legacy network employs a structured telephone numbering plan.
- Such structured rules are defined by the International Telecommunication Union (TTU) in the E-series Recommendation E.164.
- TTU International Telecommunication Union
- E.164 numbering is applicable in all domains of telecommunications systems including wireline and wireless systems.
- Each physical node, referred to as a local exchange is allocated one or more unique exchange number groups.
- the telephone number of a subscriber typically includes both an exchange number group (typically allocated in ten thousand number blocks) for the exchange to which a subscriber is connected, and a number in that group which is specific to the subscriber. For example, a subscriber having a telephone number 881-1657 is connected to a local exchange having an exchange number group 881, within that group, the subscriber has a subscriber number of 1657.
- the telephone number is geographical in the sense that there is a defined relationship between the telephone number and a geographical area served by the exchange to which the subscriber is connected.
- SCP service control point
- SDF service data function
- number portability services permit a subscriber to "port" or transfer his telephone number to wherever the subscriber physically relocates or to a different service provider.
- a mobile subscriber E.164 identification number such as the MSISDN, is used to identify the mobile subscriber, the subscriber's subscription, and the subscriber's current location.
- a mobile subscriber number portability database is updated to reflect the change.
- E.164 number a telephony number
- IETF Internet Engineering Task Force
- This particular type of DNS query is referred to as an
- E.164 Number and DNS outlines the possible use of the domain naming system for the storage of E.164 telephony numbers.
- the DNS is used to identify available services connected to an E.164 number. While this idea is quite desirable in theory, there are a number of problems before it becomes practical. In particular, deploying an E.164 number-to-IP address mapping within the DNS infrastructure is quite cumbersome. For example, in order to accommodate portability of the E.164 number within the domain naming system for both different geographical locations and different service providers, it would be necessary to update the E.164 and IP-address relationship in the DNS databases whenever a portability process is executed for a specific user.
- the present invention provides a much simpler and secure way of permitting resolution of traditional telephone numbers and other entity/device identifiers into Internet addresses. It further accommodates portability of telephone numbers and other entity/device identifiers without having to substantially modify or rework the DNS infrastructure or various established number portability schemes. Self-contained, additional functionality is readily implemented on a DNS server to allow smooth LP address resolution of telephone numbers or other entity/device identifiers by taking advantage of existing portability databases without impacting the existing networks that create and maintain such portability databases.
- the present invention permits resolution of a telephone number or other identifier of an entity to be contacted into an Internet addressj i.e., an IP address, using a domain name system and a portability database.
- Portability database is often used in the context of a telephone number portability database. However, the invention is not limited thereto and encompasses any type of portability database.
- the telephone number or other identifier to be resolved is provided to a server which includes functionality for accessing a portability database.
- a telephone number portability database may be a mobile network number portability database, a fixed network number portability database, and/or an intelligent network number portability database.
- the server determines, among other things, the identity of the network operator currently serving the entity/device to be contacted.
- the number portability database provides a network identifier corresponding to the network operator associated with the entity. The network identifier is used in to make the process of resolving the telephone number into a corresponding Internet address faster and more efficient by sending the query directly to a DNS server in the identified network for resolution.
- the resolution extension handler consults a telephone number portability database using the telephone number and obtains therefrom the network identifier corresponding to the network operator currently associated with the entity.
- the DNS resolution processor uses that network identifier in the process of resolving the telephone number into the corresponding Internet address.
- the resolution extension handler is configured to use or emulate a protocol associated with the number portability database when it makes its consultation.
- the DNS server uses existing number portability databases rather than having to create DNS number portability databases for a myriad of telephone numbers or other entity addresses.
- the DNS resolution processor includes the network identifier returned from the number portability database in the ENUM query and sends the query on to a second DNS server corresponding to the network identifier.
- the DNS resolution processor receives from the second DNS a naming authority pointer (NAPTR) record with one or more resource records containing uniform resource identifiers (URIs) corresponding either to the actual telephone number, (e.g., an e-mail address), orto the network boundary servers where the E.164 subscription resides, (e.g., the address of a proxy server, a gateway switching center, or a multimedia messaging service center used for the delivery of messages to users).
- the NAPTR record includes available ways of contacting a specific node identified by the domain name, including E.164 telephone numbers.
- the NAPTR record includes an Internet address associated with the telephone number.

- Fig. 1 illustrates a general communications system 10 illustrating an example application of the invention.
- An entity "A” 12 receives an entity identifier corresponding to an entity "B" with which "A" desires to establish an Internet session.
- entity is used in a most general sense and includes (but is not limited to) any user device, any service application, or any processing unit whether user-specific, network-specific, or both.
- This entity identifier includes any type of identifier that must be resolved into an Internet protocol (IP) address to permit communication between entity "A" 12 and entity “B” 28 over the Internet 22.
- IP Internet protocol
- B's identifier is included in an Internet address resolution request and forwarded by an application 14 in A's entity 12 to a server 16 which assists in the process of resolving B's identifier into a corresponding IP address.
- server 16 queries an entity identifier portability database 20 preferably already created and maintained in an existing telecommunications network 18.
- entity identifier portability database 20 includes address and identification information corresponding to B.
- a database record corresponding to B's identifier contains information regarding the identity or address of B's current network. This information is extracted from B's database record.
- Server 16 preferably emulates the signaling system/protocol employed by the existing network 18 and portability database 20 to query the database 20.
- server 16 sends an IP address resolution request directly to a domain naming system server 26 in B's current network 24 via the Internet 22.
- the DNS server 26 recognizes B's identifier and provides a corresponding IP address for "B" back to A's user equipment via the Internet 22 and the server 16.
- A's entity 12 establishes the desired packet- based session with B.
- the server 16 does not need to store huge amounts of identification information relating to various numbers, names, and addresses associated with a particular entity.
- the present invention takes advantage of the fact that identifier portability databases are already created and maintained in existing circuit-based networks.
- the server 16 benefits from that existing information without having to create or maintain it.
- the server 16 streamlines the IP address resolution process by sending the IP address resolution queiy directly to the appropriate DNS server in B's current network.
- the database 20 is outside the domain of server 16, the database 20 content is protected because it cannot be accessed simply by browsing on the Internet.
- Fig. 2 illustrates in flowchart format an identifier resolution routine (block 30) illustrating procedures for implementing an example embodiment of the invention.
- An entity identifier for an entity "B" is received requesting resolution into a corresponding IP address (block 32).
- An entity identifier portability database is consulted using the received "B" identifier to determine a network operator currently serving "B" (block 34).
- a network identifier corresponding to B's network operator is used in the process of resolving B's identifier into a corresponding IP address (block 36).
- Fig. 3 illustrates a server 100 that may be employed to implement the present invention.
- Server 100 includes a resolution processor 102, a memory 104 including software code 106 and database information 108, and an identifier portability controller 110.
- Resolution processor 102 in conjunction with software code 106 and information in database 108, responds to a request that an identifier associated with the entity "B" be resolved into an Internet address corresponding to entity "B".
- the identifier portability controller 110 consults an entity identifier portability database with the identifier and obtains therefrom a network identifier corresponding to a network operator associated with the entity.
- the identifier portability controller 110 emulates the signaling protocol employed by the identity identifier number portability database when making this consultation.
- the resolution processor 102 uses the network operator information to facilitate a process of resolving the identifier into the corresponding Internet address.
- an entity identifier is a telephone number (either a mobile telephone number or a fixed telephone number). Another example is a telecommunications number, like fixed and mobile telephone numbers, as well as other telecommunications numbers like an International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI) number. Another example of an entity identifier might be a name or an address that is easily understood or recognized by a human.
- Fig. 4 illustrates in flowchart form a telephone number resolution routine (block 40) as an example of how the present invention may be applied to resolve a telephone number into a corresponding IP address. A telephone number for entity "B" is received by a server to be resolved into a corresponding IP address (block 42).
- a telephone number portability database is consulted by the server using the received telephone number to determine a network operator currently serving "B" (block 44).
- the server consults with a telephone number portability database created and maintained by an existing telecom network using signaling/protocols already established for that telecom network.
- the server uses the network identifier in the process of resolving B's telephone number into a corresponding IP address (block 46).
- the circuit technology portion includes one or more mobile networks 50 and/or one or more fixed networks 60.
- the mobile network 50 in this example is a GSM network which typically includes a home location register (HLR) database 52 for storing various mobile subscriber subscription and location information.
- HLR home location register
- MSCs mobile switching centers
- the fixed network 60 may be, for example, an intelligent network including one or more local exchanges (LE) 62 and one or more transit exchanges (TE) 64.
- a service control point (SCP) 66 provides intelligent network control services triggered at one of the exchanges by a call and may access an intelligent network number portability database (NPDB) 68 in rendering a requested service, e.g., virtual private network, call forwarding, etc..
- NPDB network number portability database
- the packet technology portion includes domain naming system (DNS) network 70 including several DNS servers 72. Coupled to the DNS network 70 is a general packet radio service (GPRS) mobile data network 80 including one or more serving GPRS support nodes (SGSNs) and one or more gateway GPRS support nodes (GGSNs) 84.
- GPRS general packet radio service
- a wireline packet network offering access to Internet services includes a variety of supported technologies such as an asynchronous digital subscriber link (ADSL) node 92, a cable node 94, and a typical V.90 dial-up modem node 96.
- the fixed and mobile packet networks 80 and 90 are coupled to an IP backbone 100 otherwise known as the Internet.
- one or more of the DNS servers 72 "bridges" the packet and circuit technology networks to access one or more number portability databases in the circuit technology network(s) using appropriate circuit technology network signaling protocols.
- the DNS server can access either of these number portability databases created and maintained by their respective mobile or fixed network.
- the portability database bridge provided by the present invention between circuit technology and packet technology is particularly advantageous in providing multimedia type services including, for example, voice-over-IP, telephony + video, messaging, telephony + on-line gaming, gambling, etc.
- E.164 numbers are used in circuit-based technology networks
- E.164 numbers are used in a global and public environment to address remote entities
- other identifier schemes may be used to identify a user subscription location, a user's equipment, and a user's service applications in both public and private environments.
- new, Internet-based addressing applications there is a desire to also use new, Internet-based addressing applications.
- the present invention enables the domain naming system network 70 to employ either and to translate between the two addressing methods (SS7 and IP) efficiently.
- a DNS server 72 makes an inquiry of an existing mobile number portability database 58 or an existing intelligent network number portability database 68 to determine what type of address information is stored corresponding to that E.164 telephone number.
- the database may return a list of associated addresses in addition to an E.164 telephone number corresponding to the remote entity, e.g., a corresponding LP address, a service application server IP address, or a gateway IP address to the packet network, that permits an initiating entity to establish both circuit technology and packet technology sessions with the remote entity.
- the present invention permits reuse of existing investments and infrastructure in circuit technology networks to allow the domain naming system to perform (without substantial modification) the same packet technology address resolution functions it has always performed.
- Fig. 6 shows an example where a user A in an originating network establishes a multimedia type session with a remote entity B in a recipient network using both packet and circuit technologies simply by "A" entering B's E.164 telephone number.
- "A” employs one or more user equipment units (Fig. 6 shows 4 UE's) that include both circuit technology and packet technology. It is very likely that users will want to use E.164 numbers even in a multimedia packet mode environment.
- user A enters B's E.164 telephone number into A's packet-based user equipment, e.g., a lap-top or desktop PC.
- a software application running on A's user equipment converts the E.164 telephone number into an IP address resolution query, i.e., an ENUM query.
- ENUM queries are explained in the Internet Engineering Taskforce Request for Comments (RFC) 2916 which describes a method of sending E.164 numbers in the DNS infrastructure.
- the ENUM can be viewed as a format for a DNS query carrying number information, like E.164 telephony numbers.
- the relation between ENUM and E.164 is depicted in the assigned tier 0/1 top level domain "el64.arpa" that resolves ENUM queries.
- the original E.164 telephone number is converted into an ENUM message format.
- the ENUM query is 4.3.2.1.6.7.9.8.6.4.el64.arpa.
- the digit order of telephone number is reversed, and the highest level domain el64.arpa is appended at the end.
- the ENUM query is then provided to a local DNS server (reference numeral 1).
- DNS levels or tiers 1, 2, 3 and subsequent levels/tiers refer to different portions of the E.164 number and the configuration of DNS system.
- a dot in a DNS query typically represents a possible "tier,” referred as a DNS "zone cut,” expressing a transition between two tiers or DNS zones.
- a specific DNS hierarchy might handle two or more dots within one DNS zone.
- tier 0 may correspond to the root DNS server and the top level domain "el64.arpa.”
- Tier 1 corresponds to a country code and is resolved by a secondary DNS server associated with that tier 1.
- Tier 2 may include, for example, an area code and/or local exchange code within a particular country and is resolved by a secondary DNS server associated with that tier 2.
- Tier 3 corresponds to a subscriber number, typically four digits following the local exchange, and is resolved by a secondary or a local DNS server in that tier 3 layer.
- a primary server in most DNS configurations acts as a back-up server to the underlying secondary DNSs as well as manages and updates all secondary servers during operation.
- the originating and recipient networks are in the same country, i.e., both in the same tier 1.
- the present invention can be employed at any tier level of the DNS system.
- the domain naming system uses the ENUM query to retrieve a naming authority pointer (NAPTR) record associated with the E.164 number of entity B.
- NAPTR naming authority pointer
- the DNS response to the ENUM query contains one or more NAPTR records corresponding to the E.164 number, and each NAPTR record contains one or more uniform resource identifiers (URIs) corresponding to the entity. From a URL a service and/or address corresponding to the entity B, e.g., an IP address, may be derived.
- URIs uniform resource identifiers
- This NAPTR record indicates that the subscriber prefers to be contacted first via session-over-IP (SIP) and second via simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP), similar to other protocols over IP such as file transfer protocol (FTP).
- SIP session-over-IP
- SMTP simple mail transfer protocol
- FTP file transfer protocol
- the origin application serving user A may select any of the received URIs and convert the URI into a physical IP- address by requesting the address record translation from the DNS system, referred to as an "A-record query.”
- An illustrative example of an A-record query or request is the translation of the received SMTP URI $!mailto:info@tele2.se! into a physical IP version 4 address, e.g., "192.222.345.234".
- More information regarding NAPTR/DNS resource records may be found at RFC 2915, for URIs, at RFC 2936, and for A-record queries at RFCs 1034 and 1035.
- the initial receiving DNS server does not recognize the E.164 number for entity B in its subdomain level, it forwards the ENUM query to the next, secondary level or tier DNS server (reference numeral 2).
- the secondary DNS server consults one or more telephone number portability databases, such as a mobile number portability database (NMPDB) and an intelligent network number portability database (F PDB), using the E.164 telephone number extracted from the ENUM query (reference numeral 3).
- NMPDB mobile number portability database
- F PDB intelligent network number portability database
- the queried number portability database in the circuit-switched network retrieves a portability or a subscription related information record corresponding to that E.164 number and returns that information to the secondary DNS server (reference numeral 4).
- the communications indicated at reference numerals 3 and 4 are preferably performed using the signaling protocol of the accessed number portability database.
- a signaling protocol corresponds to signaling system 7 (SS-7) with the mobile application protocol (MAP) for the mobile number portability database or signaling system 7 (SS-7) with the intelligent network application protocol (ENTAP) for the intelligent network number portability database.
- MAP mobile application protocol
- ENTAP intelligent network application protocol
- the portability record returned from the number portability database includes a network prefix (NPR) or other network identifier that identifies that the E.164 telephone number belongs to the network operator in the recipient network.
- NPR network prefix
- the secondary DNS server uses its own resolution process to locate the remote secondary DNS server corresponding to this network prefix to send the ENUM query specifically to a secondary level DNS server in the recipient network (reference numeral 5).
- Reference numerals 6 and 7 illustrate optional number portability or other type of location database lookup, which might be necessary to perform in certain applications to locate user B's subscription server, e.g., an HLR lookup in a mobile network application.
- the recipient network secondary DNS server recognizes the E.164 number as belonging to remote entity B in its network and therefore can report the relevant NAPTR resource record corresponding to or serving that E.164 telephone number.
- the NAPTR URI content may then be translated within the DNS secondary server into an IP address using the DNS "A-record request" functionality.
- the IP address is returned to the secondary DNS server in the originating network (reference numeral 8). That corresponding IP address is forwarded from the secondary DNS server to the local DNS server (reference numeral 9), and from the local DNS to the application user A's equipment (reference numeral 10). With that IP address, A's user equipment can then establish a multimedia session with remote entity B using both B's E.164 telephone number and B's IP address.
- the DNS server 200 includes a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) controller 202 to permit server 200 to communicate with and broadcast messages to other DNS servers and to exchange IP addresses between the DNS servers thereby allowing addition of new DNS servers on the fly.
- DHCP dynamic host configuration protocol
- a lightweight data application protocol (LDAP) controller 204 may be used to enter and retrieve information from an operator management database or to define entries in the DNS server memory.
- LDAP lightweight data application protocol
- a simplified database (SDB) 205 enables the DNS server to use the assistance of external resources in the resolution process of a DNS query.
- a Berkeley Internet Naming Software (BIND) controller 206 executes the DNS code that allows the DNS server 200 to resolve names into IP addresses and runs on a UNLX (SOLARIS) or WINDOWS (NT) operating system/platform 208.
- An extension resolution handler (ERH) 216 used in this example embodiment employs the SDB 205 to assist the DNS in the resolution process of E.164 numbers and to query one or more telephone number portability databases maintained in circuit technology-based networks.
- the ERH 216 can help resolve an E.164 query by consulting the mobile number portability database 58 in the mobile network 50 or an intelligent network telephone number portability database 68 in the fixed network 60 to obtain address information, and in particular, network operator address information corresponding to the E.164 telephone number.
- This network address information is used by the involved service application in the server 200 in the process of resolving the E.164 number into an IP address.
- the secondary DNS server of the identified country in the DNS server 200 checks whether the received number is international or national by viewing the country code. If an international country code is detected, the DNS server 200 acts in accordance with the established DNS resolution process (1) for recursive resolution to the higher identified tier or (2) for retrieval from the DNS internally stored information of the address of the remote international DNS server corresponding to the international country code. A new DNS/ENUM query is then sent by the forwarding DNS server toward the IP address of the secondary DNS server of the identified country.
- the DNS/ENUM resolution process in the secondary DNS server 200 is temporarily halted, and the ERH 216 queries a number portability database from an existing network.
- the ERH 216 extracts the E.164 telephone number from the original ENUM query and constructs either an MAP SRI message to query the mobile number portability database 58 or an INAP IDP message to query the intelligent network number portability database 68.
- the ERH may construct an emulated Signaling System 7 (SS7) database query using the E.164 telephone number as an SCCP GT called party number parameter.
- the number portability database responds to the query with a NAPTR record including a specific network routing prefix (NPR) pointing to another network in the same country that corresponds to the E.164 number.
- NPR network routing prefix
- the ERH 216 may directly locate the remote secondary DNS server corresponding to the received NPR, or it may simply initiate a recursive query in the DNS indicating the logical address of the remote network, e.g., the received NPR, which will be identified by the normal DNS resolution process for continuous processing.
- the ERH 216 or the DNS 200 may include the network prefix NPR in the ENUM message sent to the secondary DNS server in the recipient network.
- the present invention may be used to establish a multimedia or other communications session that includes one or more of the following example applications: voice-over-IP, web surfing, e-mail, videoconferencing, video-on- demand, audio-on-demand, intranetwork access, gaming, and gambling, either with or without a circuit-switched voice communication.
- voice-over-IP web surfing
- e-mail web surfing
- videoconferencing video-on- demand
- audio-on-demand audio-on-demand
- intranetwork access gaming, and gambling, either with or without a circuit-switched voice communication.
- A's user equipment enters an E.164 telephone number 070552233 corresponding to "B" into A's user equipment (UE).
- A's user equipment generates an ENUM query using the E.164 telephone number as follows: 3.3.2.2.5.5.0.7.6.4.el64.arpa.
- the ENUM query is sent through the mobile packet network, i.e., the GPRS network 80 shown in Fig. 4, to an SGSN node which forwards the ENUM message to a domain name server, i.e., DNS server 72 in Fig. 4.
- the extension resolution handler 216 in the DNS server 200 extracts the E.164 telephone number from the ENUM query and constructs and emulated SS-7 database query with that telephone number to the mobile network number portability database (NMPDB) 58.
- NMPDB mobile network number portability database
- the mobile number portability database 58 returns to the extension resolution handler 216 a network prefix 845 corresponding to the network of user B using that network prefix, the extension resolution handler 216 adds the network prefix 845 to the ENUM query and forwards it directly to a secondary DNS server in the recipient mobile network of user B corresponding to the network prefix 845.
- That DNS server accesses its own mobile number portability database which includes a record for user B, e.g., an NAPTR record, and forwards a corresponding IP address 445.334.332.220 along with user B's telephone number 4684570552233 back to A's user equipment via the secondary DNS server in B's network, the DNS server and SGSN in A's network.
- the IP session needed to play the game between "A" and "B" can now established.
- user A establishes a voice communication via traditional MSC and GMSC nodes in the mobile networks of users A and B using B's mobile telephone number 4684570552233.
- A's user equipment can run a game by establishing an IP data link with B's user equipment using the IP address 445.334.332.220 via the GPRS nodes SGSN and GGSN in "A" and B's GPRS networks.
- Fig. 9 illustrates a signaling diagram for another example way of implementing the same game and telephony service application between user A and user B.
- "A" first establishes a voice connection with "B" before setting up the game.
- User A enters B's mobile telephone number 070552233 in A's mobile phone which forwards the number to the MSC in A's network.
- the MSC determines the current network where "B" is located using the mobile number portability database and forwards the telephone number 4684570552233 to the GMSC and MSC in B's network to establish the voice call.
- A After estabHshing a voice call, "A" enters B's telephone number 070552233 into A's packet-based user equipment which formulates an ENUM request 3.3.2.2.5.5.7.6.4.el64.arpa.
- the ENUM message is forwarded by the SGSN to the DNS server in A's network.
- the DNS server consults the mobile number portability database 58 in the circuit-switched mobile network 50 using the E.164 telephone number 4670552233.
- the database 58 provides the network prefix of B's network, 845, and the DNS server reformulates the ENUM query to include that prefix.
- the modified ENUM query is sent directly to the appropriate DNS server in B's network, which extracts the E.164 telephone number corresponding now to 84570552233.
- This E.164 telephone number is used to consult the mobile network portability database in B's network to determine B's IP address 445.334.332.220. That corresponding IP address is returned from the database to A's user equipment through the DNS servers in the SGSN in A's network. Thereafter, A's user equipment uses the IP address corresponding to B's user equipment to establish a data session to run the electronic game.
- MMSC multimedia messaging service center
- An MMSC server is likely IP-based, and uses the DNS and IP backbone for communication. Therefore, DNS/ENUM can be used to resolve the E.164 number using a number portability check via a DNS/ENUM query.
