IMS Voice
SGw PGw Network Network
• Used for Controlling Voice / Multimedia Calls • Evolution of RADIUS (AAA) Protocol -
& Uses RTP / RTCP for media plane Authentication, authorization, and accounting
• SIP manages set-up/establishing, tying (AAA) services
together, and tear-down/ terminating of • Reliable & Secure ( Runs on TCP / SCTP )
multimedia communications • Supports Failover mechanism to maintain
• 5 Functions of SIP :- a) User Location b) User redundancy
Availability c) User Capabilities d) Session Setup e) • Support for Proxy & Relay Agents
Session Management
• Support for Capability Negotiation via
Mandatory / Optional AVPs
• Provides Dynamic discovery of Peers
