Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for providing, to an S-CSCF, application server behaviour instructions. The application server behaviour instructions are applied by the S-CSCF when interworking with the application server that the instructions are for.
Claims20
A Serving Call/Session Control Function (S-CSCF) in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) comprising:
- an input to receive a user profile including, for an application server (AS), an AS behaviour instruction or an identifier for an AS behaviour instruction;
- and
- a processor to apply the AS behaviour instruction when a service trigger for the AS is met.
A method in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for regulating the interaction between an Serving Call/Session Control Function (S-CSCF) and an application server (AS), the method comprising the steps of:
- the S-CSCF receiving a user profile including, for an application server (AS), an AS behaviour instruction or an identifier for an AS behaviour instruction;
- and
- the S-CSCF applying the AS behaviour instruction when a service trigger for the AS is met.
The method as claimed in claim 10 further comprising the steps of the S-CSCF determining that the user profile includes an identifier for an AS behaviour instruction and the S-CSCF determining an AS behaviour instruction associated with the identifier, and the step of applying the AS behaviour instruction comprises applying the AS behaviour instruction associated with the identifier.
The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein the unique identifier is associated with two or more AS behaviour instructions and the step of applying the AS behaviour instruction comprises applying every AS behaviour instruction associated with the unique identifier when a service trigger for the AS is met.
A node in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) comprising:
- a memory configured to store a user profile, the user profile including, for an application server (AS), an AS behaviour instruction or an identifier for an AS behaviour instruction, the AS behaviour instructions being instructions to a Serving Call/Session Control Function (S-CSCF) on how it should treat the AS when the AS is invoked.
