A Group Based Service Triggering Algorithm for IMS Network

To determine the potential signaling traffic reductions, the session establishment procedures are investigated. The investigation shows that, the S-CSCF (Serving Call Session Control Function) is the major bottleneck in IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and the existing 3GPP (the 3rd Generation Partnership Project) Service Triggering Algorithm (3GPP STA) increases largely the end to end session setup delay. To reduce the session setup delay and improve the system performance, a new Group based Service Triggering Algorithm (GSTA) is proposed. And then the modeling of 3GPP STA and GSTA are presented. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that, GSTA can efficiently reduce the signaling traffic load of the S-CSCF, increase the throughput of the system and considerably reduce the session setup delay, improve IMS network quality of service.
