An IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, for providing a service via a network to at least one subscriber, comprising:
- at least a first proxy function and a first server function for handling messages with a first protocol, a subscriber database connected via a first interface including a Cx Interface to the first server function,
- at least a second proxy function and a second server function for handling messages with a second protocol,
- characterized in that the second server function is connected via a second interface to the subscriber database, the second interface includes a modified Cx Interface, wherein in the subscriber database a standard subscriber profile is stored which includes a list of initial filter criteria which are used to detect a match and perform appropriate forwarding of a message to a destination application server, wherein the filter criteria include additional session types.
A method of routing a message via an IP Multimedia Subsystem IMS using a transmission protocol other than a Session Initiation Protocol, SIP, comprising the steps of:
- receiving the message at a second proxy function,
- sending the message to a control platform comprising a second server function,
- obtaining subscriber information from a IMS subscriber database via a second interface,
- forwarding the message from the second server function to a recipient according to rules included in the subscriber information, characterized in that the second interface includes a modified Cx Interface, wherein in the subscriber database a standard subscriber profile is stored which includes a list of initial filter criteria which are used to detect a match and perform appropriate forwarding of a message to a destination application server, wherein the filter criteria include additional session types.
