Abstract:
Anchoring a communication session for a target mobile phone includes identifying a current access node operable to provide the target mobile phone access to a first network of a first network type. Potential access nodes operable to provide a mobile phone access to a second network of a second network type are identified. Whether the communication session can be handed off to a potential access node of the one or more potential access nodes is established. Anchoring of the communication session is initiated in the second network only if the communication session can be handed off to a potential access node of the one or more potential access nodes.
Abstract:
A system and method for handling network overload includes receiving one or more requests, wherein an originating client originates the one or more requests. It is determined if a network element handling the one or more requests is overloaded. If the network element is overloaded, a pushback message associated with a specific request of the one or more requests is generated. The pushback message is sent to the originating client.

Abstract:
A system and method for applying a communication feature extension includes facilitating an exchange of requests between an originating endpoint and a terminating endpoint using a first identifier associated with the originating endpoint and a second identifier associated with the terminating endpoint. A modified request is received during the exchange. The modified request includes a new identifier representing a selected one of a modified first identifier and a modified second identifier, and an extension providing information about handling the modified request. The extension included in the modified request is determined and applied.

Abstract:
Gathering location information from a first wireless network to determine whether to anchor a communication session in a second wireless network, a mobile node capable of communicating with both the first wireless network and the second wireless network, includes receiving location information from the first wireless network as the mobile node moves through one or more service areas of the first wireless network. It is determined whether a triggering event occurs. If the triggering event occurs, the location information is stored to determine whether to anchor a session in the second wireless network.
