First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- generating a Session Initiation Protocol registration message by at least one femtocell on behalf of a user equipment, the Session Initiation Protocol registration message comprising a Session Initiation Protocol contact identifier for the user equipment;
transmitting the Session Initiation Protocol registration message to a remote Session Initiation Protocol registrar device identifying an address of at least one femtocell as a recipient address for Session Initiation Protocol signaling destined for the user equipment;
conveying an authentication challenge by a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter within the at least one femtocell to a base transceiver station within the at least one femtocell;
transmitting the authentication challenge from the base transceiver station within the at least one femtocell to the user equipment; and
conveying a service request from the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter to the base transceiver station of the femtocell.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium for processing short message service terminations in a communication system featuring an IP-based femtocell system are provided. The femtocell system includes a base transceiver station and a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter. The Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter conveys the depacketized message content to the base transceiver station which transmits the message content to the user equipment.

16. A system, comprising:
-
a packet-switched network; an Internet Protocol Multimedia subsystem communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network; and at least one femtocell communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network, wherein the at least one femtocell includes a base transceiver station and a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter; wherein the at least one femtocell is configured to generate a Session Initiation Protocol registration message by the at least one femtocell on behalf of a user equipment, the Session Initiation Protocol registration message comprising a Session Initiation Protocol contact identifier for the user equipment; wherein the at least one femotocell is configured to convey a service request from the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter to the base transceiver station; wherein the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter conveys an authentication challenge by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter within the at least one femtocell to the base transceiver station, and transmits the authentication challenge from the base transceiver station within the at least one femtocell to the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
