Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for management of registrations in an IMS network. The method includes: creating, for a given public identity, at least two registration queues, each one being associated with a registration policy; receiving a registration message sent by a terminal having the public identity; and assigning one of the registration queues to the terminal on the basis of a field included in the message.

A method for management of registration records in an IMS network, the method comprising:
- a step of creating, for a given public identity, at least two registration queues, each one being associated with a respective registration records management policy and a terminal type parameter;
- a step of a server device receiving a registration message sent by a terminal among a plurality of terminals having said public identity;
- a step of the server device assigning one of said registration queues to said terminal on the basis of the terminal type parameter included in a field of said message;
- and
- a step of the server applying the registration records management policy associated with the assigned registration queue, the management policy defining a policy on which the terminal is registered in the queue, once the queue is assigned.
An S-CSCF server comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable memory comprising instrucitons stored thereon;
- a processor configured by the instructions to perform acts of:
- creating, for a given public identity, at least two registration queues, each one being associated with a respective registration records management policy and a terminal type parameter;
- receiving a registration message sent by a terminal among a plurality of terminals having said public identity;
- and
- assigning one of said registration queues to said terminal on the basis of the terminal type parameter included in a field included in said message;
- and
- applying the registration records management policy associated with the assigned registration queue, the management policy defining a policy on which the terminal is registered in the queue, once the queue is assigned.
Non-transitory recording media readable by a computer on which a computer program is recorded comprising instructions for execution of a method for management of registration records in an IMS network, the instructions comprising:
- instructions configured to create, for a given public identity, at least two registration queues, each one being associated with a respective registration records management policy and a terminal type parameter;
- instructions configured to receive a registration message sent by a terminal among a plurality of terminals having said public identity;
- instructions configured to assign, with the computer, one of said registration queues to said terminal on the basis of the terminal type parameter included in a field of said message;
- and
- instructions configured to apply the registration records management policy associated with the assigned registration queue, the management policy defining a policy on which the terminal is registered in the queue, once the queue is assigned.
