A method of operating a network server, such as a mobile application gateway, connect devices on a cellular or carrier network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network, such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise.

A telecommunication device for real-time communication at a border between a global transport network and a private domain of a communication network may include a proxy for a communication protocol, means for traffic using real-time communication protocols to traverse a firewall, means for real-time traffic initiated by the communication protocol to traverse a firewall, means for measuring and collecting value information about the real-time traffic over the global transport network, means for creating mutual trust between the telecommunication device and a second device with which it communicates; and means for authorizing usage of a feature for a mutually trusted communication participant.

Provided are a method and apparatus for configuring a terminal capability set. In the above-mentioned method, a ControLling mUltiple streams for tElepresence (CLUE) encoding parameter is configured in a terminal capability set, and the terminal capability set is transmitted. According to the technical solution provided in the technical solution, new demands of a telepresence system can be met, and a telepresence product can be supported.

A base station transmits a rate recommendation to a first user equipment (UE) device. The rate recommendation is to be used for a Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) call between the first UE device and a second UE device. In some instances, the first UE device and the second UE device negotiate the rate to be used for the VoLTE call, based on the rate recommended by the base station. If the negotiated rate is supported by the base station and/or matches a supported codec rate, the UE devices implement the rate and provide rate feedback to the base station.

Network resources for a call are allocated. The network resources for the call are reserved based on a reservation. The network resources are reserved before any one network resource is committed. If the call is confirmed, then the network resources are committed.

Enabling handoffs between WiFi networks and cellular data networks for mobile devices. Utilizing a WiFi Fixer or Zombie Fixer to interact with a special platform to enable handoffs of calls between cellular data and WiFi.

The technology discloses intercepting a request to initiate a call configured to utilize one of plurality of call initiation techniques. Next, it is determined when the one of the call initiation techniques in the intercepted request is in a subset of the plurality of call initiation techniques configured to integrate at least a part of media control negotiation and call establishment. One or more fields of the intercepted request is modified to disable the one of the plurality of call initiation techniques that is configured to integrate at least a part of media control negotiation and call establishment when the determination indicates the one of the plurality of call initiation techniques is in the subset. A permission is provided to the first mobile device to initiate the call with the second mobile device using a sequential call establishment and media control negotiation technique.

Providing a user experience on a multimodal communications terminal configured to communicate according to a plurality of communication includes: executing a single application that provides a user experience (UX) for controlling user selection of preferences of the plurality of communication methods when originating or receiving communication sessions; and providing, via the single application, a selectable control that is persistent such that the selectable control is displayed in any screen of the single application, wherein the control allows selection of one of the plurality of communication methods to use for a particular communication session.

A system, server, and method of DTMF detection in a VoIP network.

Disclosed are a video conference implementation method and server, and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: a video conference server receiving from a terminal a virtual conference number of a conference to be convened; detecting whether the virtual conference number and a corresponding conference state are contained in a stored virtual conference draft; if the virtual conference number is contained and the state is “not convened”, sending to a multipoint control unit conference parameters corresponding to the virtual conference number, and receiving a conference state returned by the multipoint control unit.
