Abstract

As IMS matures, the industry and research institutes are steadily adopting IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) by building internal IMS playgrounds for prototyping and validation. From all the IMS components, the IMS User Equipment (UE) is a critical entity for the overall success in the IMS value chain. This is because, the UE is the only component that demonstrates IMS services found on the network, and the presentation of these services to the end-user will determine the return on investments on IMS. Early IMS service demonstrations are standalone solutions or support a limited set of basic services such as Voice over IP (VoIP), Presence and Messaging with little or no room for extensibility or reusability. The objective of this paper is to analyze and report our activities to develop an IMS client framework that provides intrinsic IMS functionalities and supports reusability, service composition/aggregation for seamless user experience, extensibility and dynamic service provisioning.
