Title
Service capability interaction management in IMS using the Lucent Service Broker™ product
Abstract
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project/3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP/3GPP2) designates the service capability interaction manager (SCIM) as a functional component in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). This paper focuses on how the Lucent Service Broker™ product has been designed and how it would be deployed to perform as a SCIM in an IMS network. We discuss the challenges in managing service capability interaction and providing blended services that are encountered in IMS and show how Lucent Service Broker flexibility is needed to accommodate the breadth of challenges. We describe how the internal structure of the Lucent Service Broker and its application programming interface (API) offer this flexibility while minimizing the effort involved in adding new SCIM logic. We also demonstrate how the Lucent Service Broker may be used to marshal IMS application resources on behalf of revenue-generating applications in various usage scenarios.
