Dimensioning traffic performance in IMS network

Abstract

Users and enterprise needs will drive multimedia service evolution for both mobile and fixed operators. IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a recognized standard of 3GPP group. IMS is well integrated with existing voice and data networks, while adopting many of their key characteristics. The SIP servers are the key part of the IMS structure. They are the main components responsible for processing and routing messages. With communication networks getting more and more present in our daily activities, network outages or significant degradations of the quality of service (QoS) become less and less tolerable. Our research works on improvement of the QoS in IMS networks. It is base in the one hand modeling traffic and on the other hand dimensioning traffic. These performance optimizations are essentially dedicated to the traffic of input and output flows at SIP servers. We build OpenSource IMS platform under UBUNTU Linux distribution.
