CREATING A GLOBALLY UNIQUE IDENTIFIER OF A SUBSCRIBER DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of registering a mobile device located in a first network with a packet-switched services network, comprising:
- receiving, from an aggregation device in the first network, a registration request containing an identifier of the aggregation device and identification information of the mobile device, wherein the identification information is previously unknown to the packet-switched services network; and
dynamically creating a globally unique identifier of the mobile device based on the identifier of the aggregation device and the identification information of the mobile device, wherein the globally unique identifier is used for uniquely identifying the mobile device in the packet-switched services network.

Abstract
To register a mobile device located in a first network with a packet-switched services network, a registration request is received from an aggregation device in the first network. The registration request contains an identifier of the aggregation device and identification information of the mobile device, where the identification information is previously unknown to the packet-switched services network. A globally unique identifier of the mobile device is dynamically created based on the identifier of the aggregation device and the identification information of the mobile device, wherein the globally unique identifier is used for uniquely identifying the mobile device in the packet-switched services network.

11. A node for use in a packet-switched services network, comprising:
-
an interface to receive a registration request sent by an aggregation device associated with an enterprise network to register a mobile device in the services network, wherein a unique identifier of the mobile device is previously unknown to the packet-switched services network, wherein the registration request contains an identifier of the aggregation device and identification information of the mobile device; and a processor to dynamically create a globally unique identifier of the mobile device based on the identifier of the aggregation device and the identification information of the mobile device, wherein the globally unique identifier is used for uniquely identifying the mobile device in the packet-switched services network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
