Abstract

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), an architectural framework for delivering multimedia services, was standardized by 3GPP/3GPP2. It is integrated with 4G and will most likely be with 5G and beyond, so as to enable wireless carriers to provide rich multimedia services, such as IPTV, chat, push to talk, and video conference. To use these services, users need to perform registration procedure with IMS, which will provide user information to the system. Registration is also performed when users move from one network to another. Due to the complexity of IMS and the increasing demands for these services, a key challenge IMS faces is to provide QoS to meet user requirements. One of the key performance factors is delay encountered in registration and service establishment. Also, users’ mobility impacts the rate of registration and consequently the signaling generated that must be handled by the system. This work proposes and analyzes a cached registration scheme to reduce the delay associated with registration. The work also examines the effects of different mobility models on the application layer, in particular IMS. The work studies the impact of user movement patterns on the system and examines the impact of the proposed cached registration scheme on these patterns.
