Methods, servers and mobile stations are provided to allow a sender mobile station which has transmitted a message toward a recipient mobile station via a first protocol to be notified that the message has been delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol. The sender mobile station may be notified that the message was delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol method via a disposition notification message comprising an indication that the message was delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol.

Method and system for reporting message disposition in a communication network

Methods and apparatuses for instantiation of network service (NS) or virtualized network function (VNF) are disclosed. A virtualized network function manager (VNFM) receives, from a first network management entity, a first request for instantiating or changing a VNF instance. The first request comprises scaling information for at least one scalable VNF deployment unit (VDU) included in the VNF instance. The VNFM instantiates or changes the VNF instance based on the scaling information.

Methods and apparatuses for instantiation of NS or VNF

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that enable a client device to efficiently identify mailboxes containing objects of interest in a server-based message store. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a client device comprises sending a single request to a server for a list of mailboxes maintained by the server for a user that contain objects flagged with any of one or more flags specified in the single request. The method of operation of the client device further comprises, in response to the single request, receiving, from the server, the list of mailboxes maintained by the server for the user that contain objects flagged with any of the one or more flags specified in the single request. The method also comprises processing the list of mailboxes. In this manner, the client device is enabled to quickly and efficiently identify which mailboxes of the user contain objects of interest.

Managing specialized objects in a message store

This specification presents methods and apparatus in a device and a network node implementing a Bootstrapping Server Function, BSF, for enabling multiple service functions/clients in the device sharing a common public identity and each performing its own registration to one or more (IMS) core network, to use a common bootstrapping of application security based on the Generic Bootstrapping Architecture, GBA/Generic Authentication Architecture, GAA, infrastructure. Therefore, when using Extensible Markup Language, XML, Configuration Access Protocol, XCAP, or the likes, the multiple service functions in the device use the same authentication method for all XCAP traffic or the likes, such as GBA/GAA but enabling it to use the same key sets (e.g., same B-TID).

Systems and methods for using GBA for services used by multiple functions on the same device

Embodiments of the invention relates to methods, and apparatuses for exchanging the preferred MSRP chunk sizes between an end-point and a remote end-point, directly or via a server using SDP offer/answer mechanism. The preferred MSRP chunk size may be the maximum allowed MSRP chunk size for the end-point and may be determined in accordance with network/link conditions and/or internal configuration. The end-point uses its preferred MSRP chunk size and the received preferred MSRP chunk size of the remote end-point to determine the MSRP chunk size that will be used to segment the messages from the end-point to the remote-end-point over the MSRP session. The preferred MSRP chunk size can be renegotiated during an ongoing MSRP session.
