IMS Concepts
What is IMS?
 IP
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a Service
Delivery Architecture
• Standardized architecture to provide Internet
Protocol (IP)-based mobile and fixed multimedia
services
 IMS
architecture has evolved over the past
few years
 Today, IMS could allow operators who own
different types of networks with varying
architectures to offer the same services to all
of their customers
5
IMS Concepts
User Equipment (UE)
 UE: A device that has IP connectivity and is
able to request an IP address from the
network
–
Examples: SIP phone, PC, PDA
 UE
negotiates its QoS requirements and other
capabilities during a session setup
 UE negotiates items, such as:
Media Type
– Direction of traffic
– Bit rate, packet size, bandwidth adaptation
–
6
IMS Concepts
IMS User Identification


An IMS user is allocated one or more Public User
Identities by the home operator
A Public User Identity is either a SIP URI or a TEL URL
–
–
–
–

When the Public User Identity contains a SIP URI, it
typically takes the form of sip:[email protected]
When the Public User Identity contains a TEL URL
representing a phone number in international format it
typically takes the form of tel:+1-212-555-0293
It is possible to include a telephone number in a SIP URI
using the following format:
sip:[email protected];user=phone
TEL URLs are needed for inter-working with PSTN phones
In IMS, Public User Identities are used to route SIP
signaling
7
IMS Concepts
IMS User Identification (contd.)
 Each IMS subscriber is assigned a Private User
Identity by the home operator
 Unlike Public User Identities, Private User
Identities are not SIP URIs or TEL URLs
They take the format of a NAI (Network Access
Identifier)
– The format of a NAI is [email protected]
–
 Private
User Identities are exclusively used for
subscription identification and authentication
purposes
 Private User Identities are not used for routing
SIP requests

•IMS network utilizes IP-CAN to transport
multimedia signaling and bearer traffic
•It is the network that connects the UE to the
IMS network

IP Multimedia Session (contd.)
UE1
IP-CAN
IMS
Session control signaling
IP-CAN
UE2
Media (data) Flow
•An IP Multimedia Session is comprised of session management control connections
and media flow connections between two or more users
•IMS users are able to mix and match a variety of IP-based services in a way they
choose during a single communication session

Functional Entities
Session Control Plane: HSS
 Home
Subscriber Server (HSS) is the main data
storage for all subscriber and service-related data
of the IMS subscriber
 The HSS contains all the user-related
subscription data required to handle multimedia
sessions
oAll the data related to a particular user are stored
in a single HSS
 The
HSS is always located in the home network
 Although the functionalities are the same, 3GPP
and 3GPP2 HSSs are described differently

•IMS Functionality
•HLR/AUC Function for PS

PDF
Contains a user profile - bound to
a Private User Identity and to the
collection of Public User Identities
The user profile contains a
number of service profiles
The service profile is divided into
three parts:
•a collection of one or more
public identifications
•an optional service
authorization
•zero or more filter criteria

Media Plane
MRFP
The MRF (Media Resource
Function) deals with the media in the
IMS network
 MRFC: The MRFC handles
communication with the S-CSCF and
controls the resources in the MRFP
 MRFP: The MRFP in the media
plane implements all the media-related
functions, such as playing media,
providing announcements and mix
media
 MRF resides in the home network.
28
Inter-working Functions
BGCF, SGW, MGCF, & MGW
SGW
BGCF
MGCF
MGW
 The MGCF receives SIP call
control signal from the IMS network
and performs conversion to
ISUP/IP and sends to SGW. MGCF
also controls MGW.
 The SGW performs signaling
conversion in the transport layer
and interfaces with PSTN in the
control plane
 The MGW performs media
conversion and interfaces with
PSTN.
 The BGCF selects another BGCF
OR an appropriate PSTN/CS
gateway
