Systems and methods for enabling IP signaling in wireless networks
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting an IP-based message from an initiator to a receiver lacking an IP address via a packet-switched (PS) network capable of communicating IP-based messages, a circuit-switched (CS) network capable of communicating non-IP-based messages, and a serving node in communication with the PS network and the CS network, the method comprising:
- receiving an IP-based message via the PS network at the serving node from the initiator, the IP-based message intended for receipt by the receiver;
responsive to the IP-based message, the serving node generating a trigger message, the trigger message comprising a non-IP-based message comprising instructions for the receiver to initiate a connection to the PS network and instructions for the receiver to obtain the IP-based message from the serving node;
transmitting the trigger message from the serving node to the receiver via the CS network;
responsive to the trigger message, the serving node receiving a request from the receiver for initiating a connection to the PS network;
transmitting to the receiver the IP-based message from the initiator; and
wherein the trigger message comprises instructions for the receiver to pull the IP-based message from the serving node via the PS network after initiating a connection to the PS network.

Abstract
Under one aspect, a system for transmitting an IP-based message from an initiator to a receiver lacking an IP address via a packet-switched (PS) network capable of communicating IP-based messages and a circuit-switched (CS) network capable of communicating non-IP-based messages, includes: a serving node in communication with the PS network and the CS network, the serving node including logic to: receive the IP-based message from the initiator over the PS network; generate a trigger message responsive to the IP-based message, the trigger message including a non-IP-based message including instructions for the receiver to initiate a connection to the PS network; and transmit the trigger message to the receiver via the CS network, and the receiver including logic to initiate a connection to the PS network and to receive the IP-based message responsive to the trigger message. Methods are also disclosed.

18. A system for transmitting an IP-based message from an initiator to a receiver lacking an IP address via a packet-switched (PS) network capable of communicating IP-based messages and a circuit-switched (CS) network capable of communicating non-IP-based messages, the system comprising:
-
a serving node in communication with the PS network and the CS network, the serving node comprising logic stored in a computer readable medium configured to; receive the IP-based message from the initiator over the PS network; generate a trigger message responsive to the IP-based message, the trigger message comprising a non-IP-based message comprising instructions for the receiver to initiate a connection to the PS network and instructions for the receiver to obtain the IP-based message from the serving node; and transmit the trigger message to the receiver via the CS network, receive a request from the receiver to initiate a connection to the PS network; receive the IP-based message from the receiver responsive to the trigger message; and wherein the trigger message comprises instructions for the receiver logic to pull the IP-based message from the serving node via the PS network after initiating the connection to the PS network. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
