METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING SERVICES IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK USING INTEROPERABILITY SPECIFICATION/SESSION INITIATION PROTOCOL (IOS/SIP) ADAPTER
First Claim
1. A method for providing supplementary services to IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) devices and non-IMS devices using common IMS network components, the method comprising:
- providing an interoperability standard/session initiation protocol (IOS/SIP) adapter configured to communicate with a base station subsystem and an IMS network; and
at the IOS/SIP adapter, receiving, from the base station subsystem, a request for providing a supplementary service to a non-IMS device in communication with the base station subsystem, and in response to the request, sending a message to an IMS node in the IMS network that provides the supplementary service to the non-IMS device and to IMS devices.

Abstract
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing services in a telecommunications network using an IOS/SIP adapter. According to one aspect of the subject matter described herein, a method for providing supplementary services to IMS devices and non-IMS devices using common IMS network components is provided. The method includes providing an interoperability specification/session initiation protocol (IOS/SIP) adapter configured to communicate with a base station subsystem and an IMS network. The method further includes, at the IOS/SIP adapter, receiving, from the base station subsystem a request for providing a supplementary service to a non-IMS device in communication with the base station subsystem. In response to the request, the method includes sending a message to an IMS node in the IMS network that provides the supplementary service to the non-IMS device and to IMS devices.

17. A method for call setup using an interoperability specification/session initiation protocol (IOS/SIP) adapter, the method comprising:
-
at an IOS/SIP adapter, receiving an IOS call setup request in response to a call originating from a non IP multimedia subsystem (non-IMS) device; at the IOS/SIP adapter, in response to the IOS call setup request, formulating an IMS message for setting up the call in an IMS network, where the IMS message includes information for setting up the call, the information including at least the calling party identifier; and sending the IMS message to the IMS network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for aggregating subscriptions of non IP multimedia subsystem (non-IMS) devices to state information maintained by an IMS network, the method comprising:
-
providing an interoperability standard/session initiation protocol (IOS/SIP) adapter configured to communicate with a base station subsystem and an IMS network; and at the IOS/SIP adapter, receiving IOS messages generated in response to plural non-IMS terminals subscribing to their registration statuses, and, in response; formulating a resource list including virtual subscriptions for the plural IMS terminals; and providing the resource list to the IMS network. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for invoking a supplementary service provided by an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) network from an interoperability standard (IOS) network, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a base station subsystem, an IOS message associated with a request for a supplementary service; translating the IOS message into a session initiation protocol (SIP) message for furthering providing of the supplementary service; and transmitting the SIP message to an IMS node. - View Dependent Claims (29)

30. A method for effecting short message service (SMS) transactions using an interoperability standard/session initiation protocol (IOS/SIP) adapter, the method comprising:
-
at an IOS/SIP adapter located between a base station subsystem and an IMS network receiving, from the base station subsystem, an IOS message associated with an SMS transaction; translating the IOS message into a SIP message associated with the SMS transaction; transmitting the SIP message to an IMS node that facilitates SMS transactions for IMS and non-IMS devices. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)

43. A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions that when executed by the processor of a computer perform steps comprising:
-
receiving an IOS message associated with one of;
call setup, an SMS message transactions, and providing of a supplementary service;translating the IOS message to a SIP message associated with the one of;
call setup, the SMS message transaction, and the providing of the supplementary service; andforwarding the SIP message to an IMS node in the IMS network that facilitates the one of;
call setup, SMS message transaction, and the providing of the supplementary service for non-IMS devices and IMS devices.
