

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is an architecture for offering
multimedia services on the packet domain.
IMS is access agnostic, hence it is not just for UMTS or GPRS, but
also supports WLAN, fixed line, LTE etc.
IMS is not a service, but a service enabler
 IMS gives Service control by introducing service signalling

All IMS services can be done without IMS but without IMS,
service creation can be complex, and expensive to the operator
and the user
 IMS gives Convergence of all media communications on to the
packet network.

• The P-CSCF and the GGSN are located in
the same network, that is, either both in the

Breakout Gateway Control
Function (BGCF)
• Selects the appropriate PSTN/CS domain
break out point for the session.
• Selects the network in which the
interworking with the PSTN/CS Domain is to
occur. If the interworking is in another
network, then the BGCF will forward the SIP
signalling to the BGCF of that network. If
the interworking is in another network and
network hiding is required by the operator,
the BGCF will forward the SIP signalling via
an I-CSCF toward the BGCF of the other
network.
