  • IP Internet Protocol
  • IMS Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem
  • 3GPP 3 rd Generation Partnership Project
  • SIP Session Initiation Protocol
  • IETF Internet Engineering Task Force
  • SIP is an application-layer control protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions with one or more participants. These sessions may include Internet multimedia conferences, Internet telephone calls, and multimedia distribution. Members in a session can communicate via multicast or via a mesh of unicast relations, or a combination of these.
  • the standardized IMS includes number of features that have relationships with each other.
  • One of features is capability to share the same user identity in multiple devices as shown in this figure 1.
  • a user can have two or more devices that share the same identity for example the same IMS public user identity (IMPU), like public user identity 2 in Fig 1.
  • the shared identity can be used to initiate communication with any of these devices.
  • a user can receive communication targeted to this identity with any of the devices bound to this identity.
  • Identity concept could be extended also to cover use case where two or more different users, for example two family members, are sharing the same identity.
  • Voice call continuity as defined by the 3GPP defines a capability to offer mobile voice services for a multi-radio terminal user via both circuit switched (CS) and packet switched (PS) /IMS access as preferred.
  • the feature also contains capability to transfer ongoing call from one access to another e.g. from wireless local are network (WLAN) to CS access.
  • WLAN wireless local are network
  • SR-VCC Single Radio VCC
  • LTE long term evolution
  • a network function is acting as a gateway between UE and an application server (AS) providing voice call continuity feature.
  • the network function which can also be called as mterworkmg function (IWF) can initiate a handover request towards the application server (AS) providing the voice call continuity based on received information from a radio access network, such as LTE, and from an evolved packet core system.
  • IWF mterworkmg function
  • Multimedia session continuity enables continuity of PS media streams when PS access is changed, for example, by transferring a video session from WLAN to Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) using IMS and application layer mechanisms.
  • IMS centralized services provide service execution in the IMS even though a device can use CS network to make calls. All services are executed in the IMS and all originated and terminated CS calls are forcedly routed to the IMS for service execution.
  • ICS UE To manage mid-call services ICS UE must use SIP signalling to initiate service execution. This control channel is called as Il-PS in ongoing standardization.
  • UE-I and UE-2 share an identity, for example, "tel:123" and both devices are VCC capable and both have ongoing CS voice call which the network has anchored at the VCC application, it can happen that the UE-2 detects WLAN coverage and decides to perform a handover to WLAN.
  • the UE-2 sends an INVITE reguest of SIP to a VCC Domain Transfer URI (VDI) and the request gets routed to the VCC application.
  • VDI is a SIP URI used by the UE to request a Domain Transfer Function (DTF) to perform a domain transfer to the IMS from the CS domain.
  • DTF Domain Transfer Function
  • Identity in the SIP request may use an identity which is shared with UE-I, "tel:123". Similarly if the identity is missing then the network can insert the default identity as A-party identity which can be ⁇ V tel:123". In either case, the VCC application is not able to differentiate between the CS bearers of the UE-I and UE-2 to select which CS bearer is effected by the handover. In Fig 3, similar problem can exist the other way as well when users have made calls via the IMS and then the UE-2 realizes that coverage is dropping and it must make a handover to CS. If the IMS originated calls are made with shared identity the VCC application is not able to see which IMS session should be effected.
  • UE-I has made a call via a CS access and can use Il-PS whenever needed.
  • UE-2 may make a call with the shared identity and the ICS AS must not associate this signalling with bearer signalling that UEl is using.
  • ICS the problem is more challenging if the dynamic Il-ps is used; there the UE-I and UE-2 both may have an ongoing CS call (using the same identity in P-Asserted-Identity) , and when either UE adds a Il-ps control channel using SIP, the AS must be able to determine to which CS call this SIP session is related.
  • an IWF receives a request to start a handover and it generates a CS call towards a VCC Domain Transfer Number (VDN) and uses an identity available in CS side.
  • VDN is a public telecommunication number, used by the UE to request the DTF to perform a domain transfer to the CS domain from the IMS.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the above problems .
  • the present invention overcomes the above problem by providing session handling entity, a method and a computer program, comprising maintaining a relationship between at least one public user identity, at least one private user identity and at least one contact address of a user of a communication system, receiving from a subscription entity an indication of a correlation identity associated with the user, storing the indication of the correlation identity as part of the relationship maintained, receiving a session request of the user, determining the correlation identity for the user based on a contact address of the user included in the session request and the indication of a correlation identity associated with the user, and including the correlation identity in the session request.
