Abstract

A system, method, and computer readable medium for managing an availability of a call agent, comprising acquiring a session identification by a basestation (BS) and a call agent (CA), wherein the BS is coupled to the CA, if the CA'"'"'s state is changed from an active state to a standby state, requesting a new connection with the BS; and after the new connection is established between the CA and the BS, sending another session identification from the CA to the BS.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a session identification at a basestation (BS);

wherein the session identification includes a local session identification and a remote session identification; and

starting a timer upon failure of a transport layer;

if the timer expires, changing the local session identification if the BS has already released an existing call.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the new connection is established between a redundant call agent and the BS.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the local session identification and the remote session identification are shared between an active processor in the BS.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the local session identification and the remote session identification are shared between a standby processor in the BS.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the session identification is stored in a session initiation message sent between the BS and a call agent.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the session identification is used to check a status between the BS and a call agent.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the session identification is acquired to guarantee a return of a different session identification on a sequential restart.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the different session identification alerts the BS or a call agent that a new call is to be processed.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein utilizing a just used session identification would allow the BS or a call agent to continue processing a previous call.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein until the session identification is issued, the BS should not send any application messages.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein until the session identification is issued, a call agent should not send any application messages.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the local session identification and the remote session identification are shared between an active processor in a call agent.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the local session identification and the remote session identification are shared between a standby processor in a call agent.

14. The method of claim 1, comprising acquiring another session identification by the BS.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the session identification message is the same as the another session identification message.

16. The method of claim 15 comprising continuing to process an existing call by the BS.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the existing call is processed by the BS when the other session identification message is received.

18. The method of claim 5, wherein the session initiation message includes at least one of:

a length, a message type, and a local session identification.

19. A system, comprising:

a module;

wherein a session identification is received at the module;

wherein the session identifications include a local session identification and a remote session identification;

wherein a timer is started upon failure of a transport layer;

if the timer expires, the first session identification is changed if the module has already released an existing call.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for:

receiving a session identification at a basestation (BS);

wherein the session identification includes a local session identification and a remote session identification; and

starting a timer upon failure of a transport layer;

if the timer expires, changing the local session identification if the BS has already released an existing call.
