Method and apparatus for determining capability of a serving system for anchoring a call using an intelligent network protocol
First Claim
1. A method for determining a capability of a serving system for anchoring a call at an application server using an intelligent network protocol, wherein a communication network comprises a plurality of serving systems and wherein each serving system of the plurality of serving systems is associated with a unique identifier (ID), the method at a communication device comprising:
- detecting a movement of the communication device from a first serving system of the plurality of serving systems to a second serving system of the plurality of serving systems based on the unique ID associated with the first serving system and the unique ID associated with the second serving system;
accessing a list stored at the communication device, wherein the list comprises a mapping of the unique ID associated with each serving system of the plurality of serving systems with the capability of the serving system for anchoring the call using the intelligent network protocol; and
based on the list, determining whether the second serving system supports anchoring the call using the intelligent network protocol.

Abstract
A method (200) for determining capability of a serving system for anchoring a call using an intelligent network protocol is provided. A communication network (100) includes a plurality of serving systems. Each serving system of the plurality of serving systems is associated with a unique identifier (ID). The method at a communication device (124) includes detecting (204) a movement of the communication device from a first serving system (102) to a second serving system (104) based on the unique ID of the first serving system and the unique ID of the second serving system. Further, the method includes accessing (206) a list that includes a mapping of the unique ID of each serving system with the intelligent network protocol capability of the serving system. Furthermore, the method includes determining (208), based on the list, whether the second serving system supports the intelligent network protocol for anchoring a call.

7. A communication device capable of operating in a communication network comprising a plurality of serving systems, wherein each serving system of the plurality of serving systems is associated with a unique identifier (ID), the communication device comprising:
-
a memory configured to store a list comprising a mapping of the unique ID associated with each of the plurality of serving systems with an intelligent network protocol capability for anchoring a call at an application server for each of the plurality of serving systems; a detector configured to detect the movement of the communication device from a first serving system of the plurality of serving systems to a second serving system of the plurality of serving systems based on the unique ID associated with the first serving system and the unique ID associated with the second serving system; and a processor configured to; access the list stored at the memory; and determine, based on the list, whether the second serving system supports anchoring the call using the intelligent network protocol. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
