In conjunction with refering to Fig. 3, wherein, AS1 only deploying a kind of application, AS2 then deploys many seeds Application (AS2 can be interpreted as MMTel AS), the application server of the present embodiment is disposed multiple Son application.When the service request of call session control functional entity device S-CSCF reception subscriber equipment disappears During breath, obtain iFC information according to described business request information, described iFC information is sent to application clothes Business device.Wherein, iFC information not only includes the address information of existing AS, also includes what this AS related to The sub-application message of many height application, sub-application message includes: the mark of sub-application, the title of sub-application And the triggering priority of son application.According to the triggering priority of sub-application, every height of AS is applied and is being held Go and returned to the execution state information that this sub-application of S-CSCF is corresponding, such as after the service logic of application: SIP 200ok represents success response；The error message etc. that SIP 4xx, SIP 5xx etc. represent.

Refering to Fig. 3, including:

Step 1: user equipment (UE) sends sip request message and initiates SIP session to S-CSCF；

After step 2:S-CSCF receives this request message, S-CSCF assessment SPTs also checks whether Join the iFC X of AS1, if mated, S-CSCF forward this request message to AS1, wherein, iFC X Address information including existing AS；

Step 3:AS1 performs service logic and beams back sip message to S-CSCF, where it is possible to carry The amendment information that business is relevant；

After step 4.a:S-CSCF receives this request message, S-CSCF also assesses SPTs and inspection is The no iFC Y matching AS2, if mated, S-CSCF forward this request message to AS2, wherein IFC Y not only includes the address information of existing AS2, also includes what many height that this AS2 relates to were applied Sub-application message.

Step 4.b: appoint if S-CSCF finds that the sip request message from AS1 received does not mates What iFCs, then S-CSCF forwards this sip request message to down hop based on routing iinformation.

Step 5:AS2 carrys out, according to the triggering priority of sub-application, the son application that execution priority is higher, so After beam back sip message to S-CSCF, where it is possible to carry the amendment information that business is relevant.

S-CSCF repeats above-mentioned steps 4.a and step 5 after receiving the sip message of step 5, directly All sub-application in AS2 is finished according to sub-application priority order from high to low.

Step 6: if S-CSCF finds that the sip request message from AS2 received does not mates any IFCs, then S-CSCF forwards this sip request message to down hop based on routing iinformation.

It addition, proxy call conversation control function entity equipment (Proxy-Call Session Control Funtion, P-CSCF) after receiving user equipment (UE) transmission sip request message, for this subscriber equipment This traffic assignments unique IMS charging identifier (IMS Charging Identifier, ICID) of UE And forwarding sip request message to S-CSCF, S-CSCF after matching iFC information, forwarding request disappears Breath is to just carrying this ICID that can uniquely identify a service billing during corresponding AS.
