Resource Sharing and Discovery on Top of IMS

This paper presents the architecture and the signaling flows of a multi-service overlay network implemented over the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The overlay network uses the concept of SIP-based Peer-to-peer (P2P) for providing resource sharing services, such as photograph exchange, allowing the distribution of resources across an overlay network formed for that purpose. The SIP P2P overlay network forms a cost efficient platform for providing innovative mobile services. Using the presented platform, fixed and mobile operators can provide valuable services utilizing the strengths of the IMS such as sophisticated charging, control, security and authentication mechanisms.
