System, method, and computer-readable medium for short message service termination processing by a femtocell system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- generating a Session Initiation Protocol registration message on behalf of a user equipment, the Session Initiation Protocol registration message comprising a Session Initiation Protocol contact identifier for the user equipment;
transmitting the Session Initiation Protocol registration message to a remote Session Initiation Protocol registrar device identifying an address of at least one femtocell as a recipient address for Session Initiation Protocol signaling destined for the user equipment;
receiving, by a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell from a core network, message content to be delivered to the user equipment serviced by the at least one femtocell;
conveying an authentication challenge by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell to a base transceiver station; and
transmitting the authentication challenge from the base transceiver station of the at least one femtocell to the user equipment.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium for processing short message service terminations in a communication system featuring an IP-based femtocell system are provided. The femtocell system includes a base transceiver station and a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter. The femtocell system receives message content from a core network over a packet interface that is to be delivered to a user equipment serviced by the femtocell system and depacketizes the message content. The Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter conveys the depacketized message content to the base transceiver station which transmits the message content to the user equipment via a data burst.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system, the computer-executable instructions that:
-
generate a Session Initiation Protocol registration message on behalf of a user equipment, the Session Initiation Protocol registration message comprising a Session Initiation Protocol contact identifier for the user equipment; transmit the Session Initiation Protocol registration message to a remote Session Initiation Protocol registrar device identifying an address of at least one femtocell as a recipient address for Session Initiation Protocol signaling destined for the user equipment; receive, by a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell from a core network, message content to be delivered to the user equipment serviced by the at least one femtocell, wherein the message content is received over a packet interface; depacketize, by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell, the message content; convey an authentication challenge by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell to the base transceiver station; and transmit the authentication challenge from the base transceiver station of the at least one femtocell to the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a packet-switched network; an Internet Protocol Multimedia subsystem communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network; and at least one femtocell communicatively coupled with the packet-switched network, wherein the at least one femtocell includes a base transceiver station and a Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter;
wherein the at least one femtocell is configured to generate a Session Initiation Protocol registration message on behalf of a user equipment, the Session Initiation Protocol registration message comprising a Session Initiation Protocol contact identifier for the user equipment, and transmit the Session Initiation Protocol registration message to a remote Session Initiation Protocol registrar device identifying an address of the at least one femtocell as a recipient address for Session Initiation Protocol signaling destined for the user equipment, and wherein the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter receives, from the Internet Protocol Multimedia subsystem, message content to be delivered to the user equipment serviced by the at least one femtocell over a packet interface, depacketizes the message content, conveys an authentication challenge by the Session Initiation Protocol to Internet Operating System adapter of the at least one femtocell to the base transceiver station, and transmits the authentication challenge from the base transceiver station of the at least one femtocell to the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
