System, method, and computer-readable medium for mobile-originated voice call processing for a mobile station attached with an IP-femtocell system
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating processing of a mobile-originated voice call for a mobile station attached with a femtocell system, comprising:
- receiving, by the femtocell system, a call origination request from the mobile station;
in response to receiving the call origination request, transmitting, by the femtocell system, authentication data in a service request message to a convergence server deployed in a core network;
receiving, by the femtocell system, a global challenge response from the convergence server in response to sending the authentication data, wherein the global challenge response includes an authentication token that is stored at the femtocell for subsequent transmission from the femtocell back to the convergence server; and
receiving, by the femtocell system, a determination of validation for the voice call from the convergence server.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium that facilitates processing of a mobile-originated voice call for a mobile station attached with a femtocell system are provided. The femtocell system may broadcast a notification that authentication is required for all system access, e.g., via an overhead message train. The femtocell system receives a call origination request from the mobile station and, in turn, issues a service request message to a convergence server deployed in a core network. The convergence server then engages in an authentication procedure with the mobile station'"'"'s mobile core network and returns a global challenge response to the femtocell system. Then convergence server may then determine if the mobile station is to be validated and, if so, may continue call set up for the call origination request.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions tangibly embodied thereon for execution by a processing system, the computer-executable instructions for facilitating processing of a mobile-originated voice call for a mobile station attached with a femtocell system that, when executed, cause the processing system to:
-
notify, by the femtocell system, the mobile station that authentication is required by the mobile station for system access; receive, by the femtocell system, a call origination request from the mobile station; in response to receiving the call origination request, transmit, by the femtocell system, authentication data in a service request message to a convergence server deployed in a core network; receive, by the femtocell system, a global challenge response from the convergence server in response to sending the authentication data, wherein the global challenge response includes an authentication token that is stored at the femtocell for subsequent transmission from the femtocell back to the convergence server; and receive, by the femtocell system, a determination of validation for the voice call from the convergence server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A network system that facilitates processing of a mobile-originated voice call for a mobile station attached with a femtocell system, comprising:
-
a core network that includes a convergence server; a mobile core network that includes an authentication center and a Home Location Register; and an Internet Protocol-based femtocell system that provides a radio access point for a mobile station, wherein the femtocell system receives a call origination request from the mobile station, in response to receiving the call origination request transmits authentication data in a service request message to the convergence server, receives a global challenge response from the convergence server in response to sending the authentication data, wherein the global challenge response includes an authentication token that is stored at the femtocell for subsequent transmission from the femtocell back to the convergence server, and receives a determination of validation for the voice call from the convergence server. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
