Common subscriber managing apparatus and method based on functional modeling of a common subscriber server for use in an ALL-IP network and method therefor
First Claim
1. A common subscriber managing apparatus for use in an Internet Protocol network in which a circuit network for voice and a packet network for data are integrated, the apparatus comprising:
- first portable user terminating means satisfying media voice or data standard supported in the network;
wireless interfacing means for controlling wireless resources of said user terminating means and wireless traffic, controlling handoff, realigning data from and to the packet network based on a request of said user terminating means to have interfacing condition, providing the realigned data to said user terminating means, and transferring the media to a second user terminating means;
call controlling means for controlling a call between the wireless interfacing means and common subscriber managing means; and
common subscriber managing means for providing Security Association setup function for voice processing and commonly managing mobility management, Quality of Service, authentication and authorization management, accounting management and service management functions for said first user terminating means by using a common subscriber database, wherein the common subscriber managing means uses a first protocol for mobility management and service management and a second protocol for Quality of Service management, for authentication and accounting management as application layer protocol, and for constructing protocol stack for implementing common subscriber management function.

Abstract
A common subscriber managing apparatus and method for use in an all Internet Protocol network integrating a circuit network for voice and a packet network for data. The apparatus comprises a portable user terminating unit satisfying media standards supported in the network, a wireless interfacing unit controlling wireless resources of the user terminating unit and wireless traffic, controlling handoff, realigning data from and to the packet network upon interface request of the user terminating unit, providing realigned data to the user terminating unit and transferring media to another user terminating unit, a call controlling unit controlling a call between the wireless interfacing unit and common subscriber managing unit, and common subscriber managing unit for providing Security Association setup function for voice processing and commonly managing mobility management, Quality of Service, authentication and authorization management, accounting management and service management functions for the user terminating unit through a common subscriber database.

5. A method for managing commonly subscribers for use in an Internet Protocol network in which a circuit network for voice and a packet network for data are integrated, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) modeling to provide, by a server, mobility management, Quality of Service, authentication and authorization management, accounting management, and service management for a roaming terminal by using a common subscriber database for all Internet Protocol service, and wherein, during step (a), the method uses a first protocol for mobility management and the service management and a second protocol for Quality of Service management, for authentication and accounting management as application layer protocol, and for constructing protocol stack for implementing common subscriber management function; and (b) setting Security Association function for voice processing by setting up a call between an ALL-IP visiting network and a home network by the server and commonly managing the mobility management, the QoS, the authentication and authorization management, the accounting management, and the service management. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. In an Internet Protocol network having a processor, a computer readable recording medium for recording a program for implementing the functions of:
-
(a) modeling to provide, by a server, mobility management, Quality of Service, authentication and authorization management, accounting management and service management functions for a roaming terminal by using a common subscriber database for Internet Protocol service, wherein, during step (a), the method uses a first protocol for mobility management and the service management and a second protocol for Quality of Service management, for authentication and accounting management as application layer protocol, and for constructing protocol stack for implementing common subscriber management function; and (b) setting a Security Association function for voice processing by setting up a call between an Internet Protocol visiting network and a home network by the server and commonly managing the mobility management, Quality of Service, authentication and authorization management, accounting management, and service management functions.
