5G provides for interworking with the 4G/LTE networks, which provides for mobility of user equipment between the 5G and 4G/LTE networks. Mobility from 5G to 4G/LTE requires deregistering user equipment from the 5G core network (5GC) by communicating a deregistration notification from the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to the 5GC. Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for an optimized deregistration process through avoidance of redundant deregistration notification traffic injected into the 5G network by utilizing 4G/LTE connectivity information to determine whether or not to inject deregistration notifications into the 5G network.

Optimized deregistration interworking

Examples herein retrieve a profile data corresponding to a mobile device from a first data repository in response to the mobile device entering a regional service area. The examples store the profile data in a second data repository. The second data repository is local to the regional service area.

Storing profile data in data repository local to a regional service area

System and method for traffic surge control. A control message may be received for registering or managing a device in a network. A measure of a number of current control messages already being processed in the network may be retrieved. A condition may be retrieved, from among a plurality of conditions, that corresponds to the retrieved measure of current control messages, each condition defining different rules for discarding a control message of the same type and corresponding to one of a plurality of measures of current control messages. Based on whether or not the retrieved condition is met, the control message may be processed to register or manage the device or discarded.

System and method for traffic surge control

A technique includes, in response to an electronic device attaching to a telephony network, selecting a telephony number from a plurality of available telephony numbers to assign to the electronic device for a given session in which the electronic device is attached to the telephony network and provisioning the telephony network based at least in part on the assigned telephony number.

Provisioning a telephony network in response to an electronic device attaching to the network

A wireless system including a first network protocol, a second network protocol, and an interoperability node. The interoperability node operable on the system to locate one or more stations within one or more of the first and second network protocols.

Locating stations between protocols

A method for routing message traffic over a communication network. In one example, the method comprises receiving, at a first server, a request from a subscriber terminal and transmitting, from the first server to a subscriber location function of the network, a message requesting routing information to a user database serving the subscriber terminal. A response message is transmitted from the subscriber location function of the network to the first server, the response message including routing information for a second server instead of the user database, wherein the response message is transmitted in a format indicating to the first server that communication with the user database has occurred when it has not. The first server receives the response message transmitted by the subscriber location function and transmits the request from the subscriber terminal to the second server.

Message routing in a telecommunication system

According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of authorizing a communication device to connect to a network. The method comprises receiving, at a processor, a communication device identifier and a subscriber identifier, determining, by the processor, whether the received communication device identifier is associated with the received subscriber identifier in a data store. Where it is determined that the received identifiers are not so associated the method further comprise requesting, by the processor, a security token associated with the communication device, receiving, at the processor, a security token, determining, by the processor, whether the received security token matches a stored security token associated with the received communication device identifier in the data store, and where it is so determined, authorizing the communication device to connect to the network.

Network access control

An intelligent router takes the place of a conventional SCCP relay in a wireless network. The intelligent router automatically provisions and updates subscriber information in a network file.

Method and system for providing telecommunication subscriber services without provisioning or maintenance

A computing device embodiment includes a processor, memory coupled to the processor, and computer executable instructions executable by the processor. Computer executable instructions are provided to the memory and executable by the processor to access a first provider's communications computing device, having a user's information thereon, through a data lookup utility used by the first carrier. The computer executable instructions can also retrieve the user's information from the first provider's communications computing device and transfer the retrieved information to a second provider's communications computing device.

Data retrieval from computing systems

A wireless system including a first network protocol, a second network protocol, and an interoperability node. The interoperability node operable on the system to register a station pending registration at one of the network protocols.

Registering stations between protocols

Systems, methods, and devices for a database are provided. One database embodiment includes a set of executable instructions operable on the database. One or more database partitions are provided, each having a defined key range. The set of executable instructions is operable to reverse octets in variable length keys. A last digit in an odd-length key value, plus a pad, is placed in a dedicated octet to partition the variable length keys in the one or more database partitions.

Partitioning a database keyed with variable length keys

Systems, methods, and devices are provided in connection with a multiple protocol register. In one embodiment, a mobile subscriber database is provided. The mobile subscriber database includes a location register having a number of different network protocol capabilities. The location register is operable to process different network type messages on the location register.
