[0034] The word “exemplary” and/or “demonstrative” is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. For the avoidance of doubt, the subject matter disclosed herein is not limited by such examples. In addition, any aspect or design described herein as “exemplary” and/or “demonstrative” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs, nor is it meant to preclude equivalent exemplary structures and techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “includes,” “has,” “contains,” and other similar words are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive — in a manner similar to the term “comprising” as an open transition word — without precluding any additional or other elements.

[0035] As used herein, a “processing unit” or “processor” or “operating processor” includes one or more processors, wherein processor refers to any logic circuitry for processing instructions. A processor may be a general-purpose processor, a special purpose processor, a conventional processor, a digital signal processor, a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in association with a (Digital Signal Processing) DSP core, a controller, a microcontroller, Application Specific Integrated Circuits, Field Programmable Gate Array circuits, any other type of integrated circuits, etc. The processor may perform signal coding data processing, input/output processing, and/or any other functionality that enables the working of the system according to the present disclosure. More specifically, the processor or processing unit is a hardware processor.

[0036] As used herein, “a user equipment”, “a user device”, “a smart-user-device”, “a smartdevice”, “an electronic device”, “a mobile device”, “a handheld device”, “a wireless communication device”, “a mobile communication device”, “a communication device” may be any electrical, electronic and/or computing device or equipment, capable of implementing the features of the present disclosure. The user equipment/device may include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, smart phone, laptop, a general-purpose computer, desktop, personal digital assistant, tablet computer, wearable device or any other computing device which is capable of implementing the features of the present disclosure. Also, the user device may contain at least one input means configured to receive an input from at least one of a transceiver unit, a processing unit, a storage unit, a detection unit and any other such unit(s) which are required to implement the features of the present disclosure.

[0037] As used herein, “storage unit” or “memory unit” refers to a machine or computer-readable medium including any mechanism for storing information in a form readable by a computer or similar machine. For example, a computer-readable medium includes read-only memory (“ROM”), random access memory (“RAM”), magnetic disk storage media, optical storage media, flash memory devices or other types of machine-accessible storage media. The storage unit stores at least the data that may be required by one or more units of the system to perform their respective functions.

[0038] As used herein “interface” or “user interface refers to a shared boundary across which two or more separate components of a system exchange information or data. The interface may also be referred to a set of rules or protocols that define communication or interaction of one or more modules or one or more units with each other, which also includes the methods, functions, or procedures that may be called.

[0039] The Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) is a component within the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. It's responsible for managing session control functions within the network, including call routing, session establishment, and service invocation. The Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF) serves as the entry point for signalling messages entering the IMS network. It interrogates these messages and routes them to the appropriate S-CSCF based on predefined rules and policies.

[0040] User Authentication Request (UAR) is a message sent from the network to the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) to verify the identity of a user attempting to access services. The HSS, a database within the telecommunications network, stores subscriber information, including authentication and authorization data. Upon receiving the UAR, the HSS processes the request and generates a User Authorization Answer (UAA), containing authorization information for the requested service.

[0041] Disaster or service disruption at the primary site, the system may need to migrate traffic to a backup location known as the Disaster Recovery (DR) site. This process requires seamless transition mechanisms to ensure continuity of service. [0042] Forceful selection refers to a mode or setting within the system that mandates the selection of a specific option or action, often necessary during scenarios like disaster recovery. The forceful selection mode being ON is a predetermined configuration within the system that compels the I- CSCF unit to prioritize the selection of the PR site S-CSCF. . This mode is particularly significant during disaster recovery operations, ensuring that call sessions and subscriber data are redirected to the primary recovery site irrespective of the standard selection criteria.

[0043] The 480 signal is a response code indicating that the callee's end system is temporarily unavailable. It serves as a means to inform the caller that the requested action cannot be completed at the moment, typically triggering subsequent actions or protocols to manage the situation, such as S-CSCF restoration processes. The "480 signal" refers to the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) response code "480 Temporarily Unavailable." In the context of the described method, it signifies that the DR (Disaster Recovery) S-CSCF (Serving Call Session Control Function) is temporarily unavailable to handle the request.

[0044] All modules, units, components used herein, unless explicitly excluded herein, may be software modules or hardware processors, the processors being a general-purpose processor, a special purpose processor, a conventional processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in association with a DSP core, a controller, a microcontroller, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), Field Programmable Gate Array circuits (FPGA), any other type of integrated circuits, etc.

[0045] As used herein the transceiver unit include at least one receiver and at least one transmitter configured respectively for receiving and transmitting data, signals, information or a combination thereof between units/components within the system and/or connected with the system.

[0046] As discussed in the background section, for existing solutions, the migration process from DR to PR can be complex and time-consuming. It requires careful planning, coordination, and testing to ensure a smooth transition. The configuration changes, protocol adaptations, and interoperability testing involved can increase the complexity of the migration. Further, the migration process requires network resources as devices will be forcefully de-registered. This can result in increased resource utilization. Also, during the migration process, there is a possibility of service disruptions or downtime. It is crucial to carefully plan and execute the migration to minimize any negative impact on ongoing services and end-user experience. While migrating from DR to PR in the S-CSCF can offer benefits like improved scalability, simplified network architecture, and reduced signaling load, it is crucial to carefully assess and mitigate the potential disadvantages to ensure a successful migration. Further, over the period of time various solutions have been developed to improve the performance of communication devices and for seamless traffic migration from DR to PR in SIB node. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions.

[0047] To overcome these and other inherent problems in the art, the present disclosure proposes a solution of seamless traffic migration from a disaster recovery (DR) site to a primary recovery (PR) site, which significantly streamlines the transition process without the need for graceful deregistration of users. This approach reduces network usage and avoids the complexities associated with the traditional migration process. By employing an Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF) that can forcefully select a PR site Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) regardless of the current server status, the invention ensures a continuous and seamless service experience for users. Furthermore, the method involves a special protocol where the I-CSCF sends a REGISTER request with a unique identifier (magic cookie) to the DR S-CSCF, prompting it to clear its bindings with subscribers immediately, which mitigates the risk of data conflicts or duplication during the migration process. The introduction of a System Integration Bus (SIB) node supports two distinct options for S-CSCF re-selection, 'ALWAYS' and 'S-CSCF- INITIATED', which provide flexibility in handling different migration scenarios and ensuring higher availability and reliability of the network. The 'ALWAYS' option allows the I-CSCF to proactively query the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and make a forceful selection of the PR S- CSCF, which is prioritized over the DR S-CSCF even if the latter is still operational. This proactive capability ensures that the network can quickly adapt to changes and recover from any disaster scenarios with minimal disruption to the user.

[0048] It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the present disclosure effectively addresses the challenges of increased network load, complex migration protocols, and potential service disruptions that are prevalent in the prior art by introducing a more efficient, flexible, and user-transparent method of S-CSCF migration in telecommunications networks.

[0090] The process starts with a user equipment (UE) [102] initiating a session in the network. This triggers the Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) [502] to forward the request to the Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF) [312], The I-CSCF [312], upon receiving the request, checks if the forceful selection mode is activated and the reselection method is set to Always'. With both conditions met, the I-CSCF [312] proceeds to request the user's server name from the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) [324], If the server name obtained corresponds to the Disaster Recovery (DR) S-CSCF [314], the I-CSCF [312] then sends a User Authentication Request (UAR) [316] with a capabilities option to the HSS [324], The option is used to determine whether the Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) can support specific services required by the user, such as high-definition voice or video call functionality. Based on the capabilities and priority level, the HSS [324] selects the Primary S-CSCF [504] to handle the session. The Primary S-CSCF [504] sends a 401 code. As would be understood, code ‘401’ may indicate ‘UNAUTHORIZED’ status. Such unauthorized status and corresponding ‘401’ code occurs in the events of improper or invalied authentication credentials. In the context of the present example, ‘401’ code may indicate an authentication challenge towards the UE [102], This sequence ensures that traffic is seamlessly migrated to the primary site without unnecessary deregistration of users at the DR site, optimizing network usage and enhancing the user experience.

[0091] FIG. 5B illustrates an exemplary sequence diagram [500A] indicating SCSCF Re- Selection-SCSCF-INITIATED Option for traffic migration from a disaster recovery (DR) site to a primary recovery (PR) site in a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) in a 4G/5G network, in accordance with exemplary implementations of the present disclosure.

[0092] The process starts with the I-CSCF [312] detecting that the forceful selection mode is ON, indicating a need for a potential re-selection of the Serving Call Session Control Function (S- CSCF) due to a fallback to the local super core. Once the reselection method is confirmed as SCSCF -INITIATED, the I-CSCF [312] initiates contact with the current DR S-CSCF [314] by sending a REGISTER request. Upon receiving this REGISTER request, the DR S-CSCF [314] proceeds to clear the subscriber's data, effectively deregistering the user from the DR site without requiring a graceful deregistration process. After successfully clearing the data, the DR S-CSCF [314] sends a 480 response back to the I-CSCF [312], This 480 signal indicates that the subscriber's information has been cleared, and the S-CSCF is ready for the next step. Subsequently, the I-CSCF [312], upon receiving the 480 signal, proceeds with the SCSCF restoration process. As part of this restoration, the I-CSCF [312] sends a query to the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) [324], which now includes a request for capabilities, leveraging the UAR with the capabilities option. The capabilities option aids the HSS [324] in selecting the appropriate Primary S-CSCF [504] based on the highest priority, ensuring that the services required by the user are supported by the newly selected S-CSCF. The Primary S-CSCF [504] sends a 401 code i.e. an authentication challenge towards the UE [102], This action concludes the SCSCF Re-Selection-SCSCF-INITIATED Option, transitioning the user to the PR site in a way that is seamless and transparent to the user, thereby maintaining the integrity of the user's experience and the efficiency of the network operation.

[0093] The present disclosure further discloses a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for traffic migration from a disaster recovery (DR) site to a primary recovery (PR) site in a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) in a 4G/5G network the instructions include executable code which, when executed by a one or more units of a system, causes: a transceiver unit of the system to receive, at an interrogating call session control function (I-CSCF) unit, a signal to initiate migration; send from the I CSCF unit, a user authentication request (UAR) to a home subscriber server (HSS) to obtain a server name; a fetching unit of the system to obtain, at the I-CSCF unit, the server name from the HSS through a User Authorization Answer (UAA); a verification unit of the system to verify at the I-CSCF unit, whether a forceful selection mode is ON, and if the obtained server name corresponds to a DR site; based on determining that the obtained server name is of the DR site and forceful selection is in an ON state, an initial unit of the system to initiating, from the I-CSCF unit, a protocol for traffic migration the transceiver unit of the system to send, at the I-CSCF, the UAR with capabilities option to the HSS to facilitate selection of the PR site S-CSCF.
