Abstract:Abstract-The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) serves as universal platform for fast and standardized creation of mobile services. Typical deployment models for the IMS favor centralized session control and application servers. Furthermore, they rely on sophisticated border elements for, e.g., policy enforcement.

This leads to a distributed IMS architecture with equal processing… Show more
