1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to wireless telecommunications. More particularly, it relates to wireless telecommunication protocol conversion to Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) protocol and vice versa. Specifically, ANSI-41 J-STD-036 E3 interface to VoIP NENA 08-001 V2 interface and vice versa. As well as, GSM J-STD-036 Lg/Lg+ interface to VoIP NENA 08-001 V2 interface and vice versa.
2. Background of the Related Art
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that has been developed as an alternative packet-based telephony technology to the conventional switched telephony service (e.g. PSTN). VoIP takes advantage of high speed Internet data networks, and is able to provide low cost telephony services to end users. VoIP technology emulates a phone call, but instead of using a circuit based switched system such as the telephone network, utilizes packetized data transmission techniques most notably implemented in the Internet.
VoIP phone calls are routed to a VoIP voice gateway, from which they are passed on to their destination VoIP device. Conventional VoIP voice gateways (i.e., soft switches) are typically located in only a few places across the country. A soft switch is a programmable network switch that can process the signaling for all types of packet protocols. Also known as a ‘media gateway controller,’ ‘call agent,’ or ‘call server,’ such devices are used by carriers that support converged communications services by integrating signaling system No. 7 (SS7) type switched telephone signaling with packet networks. Softswitches can support, e.g., IP, DSL, ATM and frame relay.
Because VoIP is Internet Protocol (IP) based, call related information such as CallerID type services may not be available or accurate. A location of a given VoIP device may be statically provisioned to be at a given geographic location, or queried from a home location register (HLR) in a mobile system.
911 is a phone number widely recognized as an emergency phone number that is routed to emergency dispatch personnel and used to determine a location of a caller. Enhanced 911 (E911) is defined by the transmission of callback number and location information to the relevant public safety answering point (PSAP). A PSAP is the endpoint of an emergency services call. PSAPs are responsible for answering emergency services calls. E911 may be implemented for landline and/or mobile devices. Some Public Safety Access Points (PSAPs) are not enhanced, and thus do not receive the callback or location information from any phone, landline or mobile.
The problem is not necessarily solved with the use of a centralized emergency call center. In such case, when a VoIP customer places an emergency call such as an E911 call, the call may be routed to an emergency call center that is very far away, and in some instances half-way across the world to reach the centralized emergency call center. The VoIP E911 call must then be transferred to the relevant 911 center (public safety access point (PSAP)). However, this transfer must take place over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) because such transfer cannot conventionally be gained to the PSAP's existing Enhanced 911 (E911) dedicated network where location and callback number of the originating 911 caller are provided. Moreover, note that even the call related information (e.g., CallerID) provided with the call would relate to the identity and location of the centralized call center—not to the callback number and certainly not the location of the customer originally dialing 911.
An ANSI-41 J-STD-036 E3 (“E3”) interface is a time division multiplex (TDM) format that operates at 34.368 Mbps, and supports both Physical Layer Conversion Protocol (PLCP) and direct cell mapping.
A voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) NENA 08-001 V2 (“V2”) interface is used to request emergency call routing information when the call server/routing proxy/redirect server is a separate element from a VoIP voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) positioning center (VPC).
Session Internet Protocol (SIP) to ISDN User Part (ISUP) conversion, and ISUP to SIP conversion is somewhat common in the market. But currently, an E3 interface interfaces only with a mobile positioning center (MPC). Similarly, an Lg/Lg+ interface interfaces only with Gateway Mobile Location Centers (GMLCs), and V2 interfaces only with VoIP Positioning Centers (VPCs).
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a method and apparatus to translate emergency services protocol call setup information from VoIP V2 to ANSI-41 ORREQ comprises receiving VoIP V2 signaling from a Voice Service Provider (VSP). A call back number (CBN) is inserted into both a mobile directory number (MDN) field and an emergency service routing digits (ESRD) field of an ANSI-41 ORREQ. An emergency service routing key (ESRK) and, if needed, digits are inserted to determine a selective router and/or trunk, into up to 20 digits of a VoIP V2 message. Use of the digits received in the VoIP V2 message permit setup of an emergency services call over Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) using a wireless ESRK.
Apparatus and a method to translate emergency services protocol call setup information from VoIP V2 to GSM MAP SLR in accordance with another aspect of the invention comprises receiving VoIP V2 signaling from a Voice Service Provider (VSP). A call back number (CBN) is inserted into both an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) field and an na-ESRD field of a GSM MAP SLR. An emergency service routing key (ESRK) is inserted and, if needed, digits are inserted to determine a selective router and/or trunk, into up to 20 digits of a VoIP V2 message. Use of the digits received in the VoIP V2 message permit setup of an emergency services call over Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) using a wireless ESRK.
Apparatus and a method to translate emergency services protocol call setup information from ANSI-41 ORREQ to VoIP V2 in accordance with yet another aspect of the invention comprises receiving an ANSI-41 ORREQ containing a call back number (CBN) and emergency service routing digits (ESRD) from a mobile servicing center (MSC). The CBN is converted to a VoIP V2 request. The VoIP V2 request is sent to a voice positioning center (VPC). The VoIP V2 request including an emergency service query key (ESQK) and an emergency service routing number (ESRN) inserted therein in a plurality of designated fields, is returned by a voice positioning center (VPC). Use of the ORREQ permits setup of an emergency services call over ISDN User Part (ISUP) or Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling.
Apparatus and a method to translate emergency services protocol call setup information from GSM MAP SLR to VoIP V2 in accordance with still another aspect of the invention comprises receiving a GSM MAP SLR containing a call back number (CBN) and emergency service routing digits (ESRD) from a mobile servicing center (MSC). The CBN and ESRD are converted to a VoIP V2 request. The VoIP V2 request is sent to a voice positioning center (VPC). The VoIP V2 request including an emergency service query key (ESQK) and an emergency service routing number (ESRN) is returned by a voice positioning center (VPC). The VoIP V2 request is converted to an SLR with an na-ESRK with the ESQK and a last 7-digits of the ESRN. Use of the SLR permits setup of an emergency services call over ISDN User Part (ISUP) or Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling.
Features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description with reference to the drawings:
The present inventors have appreciated that wireless carriers may soon desire the ability to use current, IS41-based wireless telecommunications protocols to request Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call routing information. They also have appreciated that VoIP Service Providers may soon desire the ability to use current VoIP protocols to request IS41-based wireless call routing information. But IS41 and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) are disparate protocols, and thus Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) nodes (IS41-based) cannot signal to Voice Positioning Centers (VPCs). Similarly, VoIP nodes cannot signal to Mobile Positioning Centers (MPCs) or Gateway Mobile Location Centers (GMLCs).
The present invention provides a protocol converter (or alternatively referred to as a translator) between ANSI-41 ORREQs and VoIP V2 messaging. The invention also provides protocol conversion (or alternatively translation) between GMS MAP and VoIP V2 messaging.
In particular, as shown in
The VoIP V2 to ANSI-41 ORREQ Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 610 functions as follows:
In step 101 of
In step 102, the VoIP V2 to ANSI-41 ORREQ Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 610 puts the call back number (CBN) into an ANSI-41 ORREQ, with the call back number (CBN) preferably in both the mobile directory number (MDN) field and the emergency services routing digits (ESRD) field of the ORREQ.
In step 103, the mobile positioning center (MPC) 520 treats the mobile directory number (MDN) as the emergency services routing digits (ESRD), and the ESRD determines an ESRK (and possibly digits to select the selective router or the trunk group) based on the subscribers provisioned address, similar to how wireless calls route based on the location of a cell tower.
In step 104, the VoIP V2 to ANSI-41 ORREQ Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 610 puts the ESRK and, if needed, the digits to determine the selective router and/or trunk, into a VoIP V2 message containing up to 20 digits in a preferred embodiment.
In step 105, the voice service provider (VSP) 510 uses the digits received in the VoIP V2 message to set up the call over Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) using a wireless emergency services routing key (ESRK).
In particular, as shown in
The VoIP V2 to GSM MAP SLR Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 620 functions as follows:
In step 201 shown in
In step 202, the VoIP V2 to GSM MAP SLR Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 620 puts the call back number (CBN) into a GSM MAP SLR with the call back number (CBN) preferably inserted into both the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) field and the na-ESRD field, and it sets the na-ESRK flag.
In step 203, the Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) 530 treats the call back number (CBN) as ESRD, and the ESRD determines an ESRK (and possibly digits to select the selective router or the trunk group) based on the subscribers provisioned address, similar to how wireless calls route based on the location of a cell tower. The return SLR contains 17 digits: the 10 digit ESRK and up to 7 digits to determine the trunk group.
In accordance with the embodiment, it is also possible that the second 7 digits be used to represent a 10 digit number with the same NPA as the ESRK. It is preferable that the SLR na-ESRK may only contain 18 digits.
In step 204, the VoIP V2 to GSM MAP SLR Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 620 puts the ESRK and, if needed, the digits to determine the selective router and/or trunk, into a VoIP V2 message containing up to 20 digits.
In step 205, the Voice Service Provider (VSP) 510 uses the digits received over VoIP V2 to set up the call over Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) using a wireless ESRK.
In particular, as shown in
The ANSI-41 ORREQ to VoIP V2 Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 630 functions as follows:
In step 301 of
In step 302, the ANSI-41 ORREQ to VoIP V2 Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 630 receives the ORREQ request with the call back number (CBN) and Emergency Services Routing Digits (ESRD), converts it to a VoIP V2 request, and sends the VoIP V2 request to the Voice Positioning Center (VPC) 550.
In step 303, the Voice Positioning Center (VPC) 550 is configured to return an Emergency Service Query Key (ESQK) and Emergency Service Routing Number (ESRN).
In step 304, the ANSI-41 ORREQ to VoIP V2 Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 630 receives the VoIP V2 request and converts it to an ORREQ with the Emergency Service Routing Number (ESRN) and Emergency Service Query Key (ESQK) into designated fields. Exemplary designated fields used for insertion of the combination of the ESRN and ESQK may be any combination of the DialedDigits field, the Mobile Directory Number (MDN) field, the BillingDigits field, and/or the GenericDigits field.
In step 305, the Mobile Servicing Center (MSC) 540 receives the ORREQ and sets up the call appropriately over ISDN User Part (ISUP) or Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling.
In particular, as shown in
The GSM MAP SLRs to VoIP V2 Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 640 functions as follows:
In step 401 of
In step 402, the GSM MAP SLRs to VoIP V2 Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 640 receives an SLR request with the call back number (CBN) and Emergency Services Routing Digits (ESRD), converts it to a VoIP V2 request, and sends the VoIP V2 request to the Voice Positioning Center (VPC) 550.
In step 403, the Voice Positioning Center (VPC) 550 is configured to return an Emergency Service Query Key (ESQK) and Emergency Service Routing Number (ESRN).
In step 404, the GSM MAP SLRs to VoIP V2 Wireless Emergency Services Protocol Converter 640 receives a VoIP V2 request and converts it to an SLR with the na-ESRK with the Emergency Service Query Key (ESQK) and the last 7-digits of the Emergency Service Routing Number (ESRN).
Note that the na-ERSK field contains a maximum of 18 digits. In the preferred embodiment, the numbering plan area (NPA) of the Emergency Service Routing Number (ESRN) is preferably always the same as the numbering plan area (NPA) of the Emergency Service Query Key (ESQK).
In step 405, the Mobile Servicing Center (MSC) 540 receives the SLR and sets up the call appropriately over ISUP or Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling.
Benefits of the invention include that operators of Gateway Mobile Location Centers (GMLCs) or Mobile Positioning Centers (MPCs) who implement VoIP offerings can re-use their existing GMLC or MPC to service VoIP 9-1-1 calls. Moreover, operators of Voice Positioning Centers (VPCs) who implement wireless offerings can re-use their existing VPCs to service wireless 9-1-1 calls.
The invention allows interaction of VSPs with a Mobile Positioning Center (MPC) or Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC), and/or interaction of wireless carriers with a Voice Positioning Center (VPC). Those that will find particular use of the invention include wireless carriers, VoIP service providers, and especially those who already own an MPC, GMLC, or VPC and want to provide both wireless and VoIP telecommunications.
While the invention has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications to the described embodiments of the invention without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
