Abstract

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) provides a common control layer over which the services can be easily accessed by fixed and mobile users. In order to guarantee performance to both service providers and end service subscribers, careful management and maintenance within the control layer must be fulfilled. In this paper, we propose a solution that utilizes a controlling entity to track the utilization of hotspot Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server (i.e., S-CSCF) and to initiate de-registration procedure so that a sufficient number of subscribers at the overloaded S-CSCF are re-associated with the other S-CSCF(s) for subsequent session services. The proposed solution redistributes and smoothes the future traffic load over individual S-CSCF in an automatic manner. The goodness of the proposal is assessed through simulations using OPNET.
