20110151871 | IMS NETWORKS WITH AVS SESSIONS WITH MULTIPLE ACCESS NETWORKS - IMS networks with AVS sessions with multiple access networks. Systems and methods associate multiple access network sessions with a given user endpoint (UE) device. A UE is managed in an IMS network to have multiple concurrent sessions to corresponding access networks. An application server in the IMS network creates a computer-implemented representation of an audio video session (AVS). The AVS representation includes a first incoming leg (ICL) to represent at least the initial access network to which the UE has access. Subsequently, it is determined that the UE can access a different access network than the initial access network. The different access network is of different type than the initial access network. | 06-23-2011 |
