Here, IMS is a communication system proposed to provide an All-IP based multimedia service. Here, IMS will be briefly described.

Core networks that provide multimedia services over the Internet (hereinafter referred to as "CN") are evolving from existing circuit-based to packet-based to IP-based. A communication system that provides IP multimedia services (IM services) to subscribers through the IP-based CN is called IMS, and 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) / 3GPP2 / Next Generation Network (NGN) provides smoothly all-IP services. We are doing various researches for this purpose.

In addition, since IMS provides various types of packet data services based on the IP transport protocol, IMS users can access multimedia type contents such as pictures, video clips, and sound clips through session based messages. Interchangeable. An important functional element of the so-called IM CN (Sub Network) subsystem to provide IP Multimeida (IM) services in IMS is the Call Session Control Function (CSCF), which performs registration and multimedia call processing using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). ) And Home Subscriber Server (HSS: Home Subscriber Server), which integrates the mobility management and authentication of IM service users into the Home Location Register (HLR) of the legacy domain. , Hereinafter referred to as 'HSS').

In addition, the SIP protocol is used in IMS to provide connectivity with the existing Internet network and independence of the access network. SIP is used as a signaling protocol for creating / modifying / terminating an IM service session, and its role is to exchange information for controlling a message session between subscribers who want to exchange messages. SIP messages transmitted over SIP operate independently of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), so they are independent of the underlying transport protocol, and a message body for negotiating Session Description Protocol (SDP) for session information. Body) In the IMS, a Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) session, which is a protocol for transmitting a series of instant messages using the SDP, is operated for a session-based messaging service.

Accordingly, the mobile communication terminal connected to the IMS has a call control device (not shown) of one or more E-mail types (eg, SIP URLs, addresses for alternative communication means) as an identity in addition to the telephone number. You can register at).
