Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATIONS IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TECHNICAL FIELD [001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of wireless communication systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for managing communications in a telecommunications network by flexible implementation of one or more nodes in order to enhance the overall call-handling capacity. BACKGROUND [002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art. [003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. The third- generation (3G) technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users. [004] In existing network arrangement, a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF), an Interrogative Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF) and a Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF) are independently implemented on plurality of servers of a telecommunications network. Since the S-CSCF, the I-CSCF and the BGCF are independently implemented, the operation cost as well as the maintenance cost is very high. Moreover, for communication between each of the aforementioned functional node, a stack (for encoding and decoding messages transmitted between any two functional node of the telecommunications network) would be needed for encoding and decoding Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages going through said nodes. This would further increase computational effort, latency and resources required in the telecommunications network. Further, since encoding and decoding has to happen between the S-CSCF, the I-CSCF and the BGCF, the capacity of the telecommunications network implementing these functions is reduced. As a result of the reduced capacity of said nodes, multi-circle support is not possible. This further increases the hardware cost of the network. Furthermore, it is a laborious, complex, and time- consuming process to deploy multiple individual functions i.e. the S-CSCF, the I-CSCF and the BGCF. [005] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to efficiently implement S-CSCF, I-CSCF, BGCF or similar on the telecommunications networks, which the present disclosure aims to address. SUMMARY [006] This section is provided to introduce certain aspects of the present disclosure in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify the key features or the scope of the claimed subject matter. [007] An aspect of the present disclosure may relate to a method for managing communications in a telecommunications network. The method comprising receiving, by a receiving unit at a system information block (SIB) node, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message for a communication request, wherein the SIB node is an integration of one or more nodes. Further, the method comprises steps of determining, by a determining unit at the SIB node, a type of the communication request based on the received SIP message. Further, the method comprise steps of selecting, by a selecting unit at the SIB node, at least one node from the one or more nodes based on the determined type of the communication request. Further, the method comprise steps of processing, by a processing unit at the SIB node, the communication request at the selected at least one node. [008] In an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure, the one or more nodes comprises a serving call session function (S-CSCF), an interrogative call session control function (I-CSCF), and a breakout gateway control function (BGCF). [009] In an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure, the processing the communication request is performed without parsing the SIP message. [01
