Abstract
Systems and methods can be implemented for IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) resource reservation. A first electronic device can transmit, through an IP network, a non-Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message to an application server in an IMS network, where the non-IMS SIP message includes a request to initiate an IMS communication session through the IMS network with a second electronic device. A SIP message can also be transmitted through the IMS network to the application server that initiates a SIP INVITE session between the first electronic device and the application server, where the SIP INVITE session is routed through the IMS network. The first electronic device can then, receive a SIP response message that identifies a resource reservation for the IMS communication session from the application server.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more network nodes and from an electronic device, a non-“Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)” message through a non-SIP-based network;
- authenticating, by the one or more network nodes, the electronic device based, at least in part, on authentication information in the received non-“SIP” message;
- receiving, by the one or more network nodes, a SIP message through a SIP-based network;
- and
- associating, by the one or more network nodes, the SIP message received through the SIP-based network with the non-“SIP” message received through the non-SIP based network.
An electronic device comprising a processor configured to:
- send, to one or more network nodes, a non-“Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)” message through a non-SIP based network;
- and
- send, to the one or more network nodes, a SIP message through a SIP-based network, wherein the SIP message includes information for correlation with the non-“SIP” message at the one or more network nodes.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by one or more network nodes and from an electronic device, a non-“Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)” message through a non-SIP-based network;
- authenticating, by the one or more network nodes, the electronic device based, at least in part, on authentication information in the received non-“SIP” message;
- receiving, by the one or more network nodes, a SIP message through a SIP-based network;
- and
- associating, by the one or more network nodes, the SIP message received through the SIP-based network with the non-“SIP” message received through the non-SIP based network.
