Abstract

A method for discovering an interface session within a wireless communication network is discussed herein. The method includes establishing an Internet Protocol (IP) packet-switched network registration between a first node of a plurality of nodes within the wireless communication network and a second node of the plurality of nodes. The method further includes, requesting, by a third node of the plurality of nodes from a fourth node of the plurality of nodes, service for a call of a mobile device within the wireless communication network. Based upon not having an appropriate interface session established between the first node and the fourth node, the method also includes performing, by the fourth node, an interface session discovery. Based at least in part on the interface session discovery, a dedicated bearer is established at the second node for the call.
