1. Before requesting IM services, an IP-CAN bearer must be available to carry IM subsystem signaling. The P-CSCF discovery may occur during or after IP connectivity establishment. When multiple P-CSCF addresses are available, home operator policy determines selection.
2. IMS registration procedures involve the UE sending a register message to the P-CSCF, then the P-CSCF forwarding to the I-CSCF and I-CSCF to S-CSCF. Diameter messages are also exchanged with the HSS. A 200 OK response confirms successful registration.
3. Periodic re-registration and de-registration with an expiration time of zero seconds allow the UE to maintain and terminate its

For a long time, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) was nothing more than just a revolutionary idea to move all existing teleservices, including telephony to the PS domain of the mobile network and to create a vast variety of brand new teleservices totally based on end-to-end IP connectivity. Today, thanks to GSMA Rich Communication Suite (RCS) initiative, there is a clear path and agreement on how to turn IMS into practice. RCS ensures that the same initial subset of IMS services will be introduced by all operators, infrastructure and terminal vendors and will work smoothly also in inter-operator scenarios. The course explains IMS architecture, addressing, intra- and inter-operator signalling procedures, paying a special attention to the non-voice services selected by the GSMA for RCS-e and RCS5.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
2. Before the UE can request IM services, an appropriate IP-CAN bearer must be available
to carry IM Subsystem related signalling.
the P-CSCF discovery may be performed during or after the IP connectivity has been
established.
In the case where UE is aware of more than one P-CSCF address, the selection shall be
based on home operator configured policy to select the P-CSCF.
The DHCP relay agent may exist within the IP-Connectivity Access Network relays DHCP
messages between UE and the DHCP server. This is not illustrated in the above diagram.
2
3. Procedures:
1. After the UE has obtained IP connectivity, it can perform the IM registration. To do so, the
UE sends the Register information flow to the proxy;
2. Upon receipt of the register information flow, the P-CSCF shall examine the "home domain
name" to discover the entry point to the home network (i.e. the I-CSCF). The proxy shall
send the Register information flow to the I-CSCF;
3. The I-CSCF shall send the Cx-Query/Cx-Select-Pull information flow to the HSS;
4. Cx-Query Resp/Cx-Select-Pull Resp is sent from the HSS to the I-CSCF. It shall contain the
S-CSCF name, if it is known by the HSS, or the S-CSCF capabilities, if it is necessary to select a
new S-CSCF. When capabilities are returned, the I-CSCF shall construct a name from the
capabilities returned;
5. I-CSCF shall then send the register information flow to the selected S-CSCF;
6. The S-CSCF shall send Cx-Put/Cx-Pull to the HSS;
7. The HSS shall store the S-CSCF name for that user and return the information flow Cx-Put
Resp/Cx-Pull Resp (user information) to the S-CSCF;
8. Based on the filter criteria, the S-CSCF shall send register information to the service control
platform and perform whatever service control procedures are appropriate.
9. The AS shall return the 200 OK information flow to the S-CSCF if the 3rd Party registration is
successful;
10. The S-CSCF shall return the 200 OK information flow to the I-CSCF;
11. The I-CSCF shall send information flow 200 OK to the P-CSCF. Note: The I-CSCF shall release
all registration information after sending information flow 200 OK;
12. The P-CSCF shall store the home network contact information, and shall send information
flow 200 OK to the UE.
Note:
• 1, 2, 5 and 8 are SIP Register message;
• 3, 4, 6, and 7 are Diameter query and response message;
• 9, 10, 11 and 12 are SIP 200 OK message;
These flows do not take into account security features such as user authentication. The
description of the impact of IMS security features is done in TS 33.203.
3
4. The UE initiates a re-registration. For periodic registration, the UE initiates a re-
registration prior to expiry of the agreed registration timer.
When the UE wants to de-register from the IMS then the UE shall perform application
level de-registration. De-registration is accomplished by a registration with an expiration
time of zero s econds. De-registration follows the same path as defined.
4
6. If an ungraceful session termination occurs (e.g. flat battery or mobile leaves coverage), when a stateful
proxy server (such as the S-CSCF) is involved in a session, memory leaks and eventually server failure can
occur due to hanging state machines. To ensure stable S-CSCF operation and carrier grade service, a
mechanism to handle the ungraceful session termination issue is required. This mechanism should be at
the SIP protocol level in order to guarantee access independence for the IM CN subsystem.
Procedures
1. The registration timers in the P-CSCF and in the S-CSCF expire. The timers are assumed to be close
enough that no external synchronisation is required. The P-CSCF updates its internal databases to
remove the Public User Identity from being registered.
2. Based on the filter criteria, the S-CSCF shall send de-registration information to the service control
platform and perform whatever service control procedures are appropriate. Service control platform
removes all subscription information related to this specific Public User Identity.
3. S-CSCF can send Cx-Put to HSS and the HSS then can clear S-CSCF name for that IMPU according to
Cx-Put the request.
4. The HSS shall send Cx-Put Resp to the S-CSCF to acknowledge the sending of Cx-Put.
The IM CN subsystem can initiate a Network Initiated De-Registration procedures for the following
reasons:
1. Network Maintenance
• Forced re-registrations from users, e.g. in case of data inconsistency at node failure etc;
2. Network/traffic determined
• The IM CN subsystem must support a mechanism to avoid duplicate registrations or
inconsistent information storage. This case will occur when a user roams to a different
network without de-registering the previous one.
3. Application Layer determined
• The service capability offered by the IM CN Subsystem to the Application Layers may have
parameters specifying whether all IM CN subsystem registrations are to be removed, or only
those from one or a group of terminals from the user, etc.
4. Subscription Management
• The operator must be able to restrict user access to the IM CN subsystem upon detection of
contract expiration, removal of IM subscription, fraud detection, etc.
6
7. Procedure:
1. HSS initiates the de-registration, sending a Cx-Deregister (user identity) which may
include the reason for the de-registration;
2. Based on the filter criteria, the S-CSCF shall send de-registration information to the
service control platform and perform whatever service control procedures are
appropriate;
3. The S-CSCF issues a de-registration towards the P-CSCF for this user and updates its
internal database to remove the user from being registered. The reason for the de-
registration received from the HSS shall be included if available.
4. The P-CSCF informs the UE of the de-registration and without modification forwards
the reason for the de-registration, if available. Due to loss of contact with the
mobile, it might be possible that the UE does not receive the information of the de-
registration;
5. The P-CSCF sends a response to the S-CSCF and updates its internal database to
remove the user from being registered. If the P-CSCF has an active subscription to
notifications of the status of the IMS Signalling connectivity, the P-CSCF shall cancel
the subscription (see TS 23.203 [54] for more details);
6. When possible, the UE sends a response to the P-CSCF to acknowledge the de-
registration. A misbehaving UE or a UE that is out of P-CSCF coverage could not
answer properly to the de-registration request. The P-CSCF should perform the de-
registration in any case, e.g., after the timer for this request expires;
7. The S-CSCF returns a response to the entity that initiated the process.
If the UE does not perform automatic re-registration due to the de-registration the user
shall be informed about the de-registration and of the reason, if available
7
8. The scheme for authentication and key agreement in the IMS is called IMS AKA
The generation of the authentication vector AV that includes RAND, XRES, CK, IK and AUTN shall
be done in the same way as specified in TS 33.102
1st Registration Procedure:
6. Upon receiving the SIP REGISTER the S-CSCF CSCF shall use an Authentication Vector (AV) for
authenticating and agreeing a key with the user. If the S-CSCF has no valid AV then the
S-CSCF shall send a request for AV(s) to the HSS during the first registration process;
7. Upon receipt of a request from the S-CSCF, the HSS sends an ordered array of n
authentication vectors to the S-CSCF. The authentication vectors are ordered based on
sequence number. Each authentication vector consists of the following components: a
random number RAND, an expected response XRES, a cipher key CK, an integrity key IK and
an authentication token AUTN;
8. The S-CSCF sends a SIP 401 Unauthorized i.e. an authentication challenge towards the UE
including the challenge RAND, the authentication token AUTN. It also includes the integrity
key IK and the cipher key CK for the P-CSCF. The S-CSCF also stores the RAND sent to the UE
for use in case of a synchronization failure;
9. When the P-CSCF receives SM5 it shall store the key(s) and remove that information and
forward the rest of the message to the UE (IMPI, RAND, AUTN);
2nd Registration Procedure:
1. Upon receiving the challenge, the UE takes the AUTN, which includes a MAC and the SQN.
The UE calculates the XMAC and checks that XMAC=MAC and that the SQN is in the correct
range as in TS 33.102 [1]. If both these checks are successful the UE uses RES and some
other parameters to calculate an authentication response. This response is put into the
Authorization header and sent back to the registrar in second Registration. It should be
noted that the UE at this stage also computes the session keys CK and IK;
5. Upon receiving containing the response, the S-CSCF retrieves the active XRES for that user
and uses this to check the authentication response sent by the UE as described in RFC 3310.
If the check is successful then the user has been authenticated and the IMPU is registered in
the S-CSCF.
