IMS/MMD, a new architecture defined by
the 3GPP/3GPP2 group, is designed to enable seamless deployment
of applications across a core network based on the open standards
of the Internet Protocol. This architecture thus paves the
way for a convergence of the fixed and mobile communication
ushering an era of innovative triple play applications that
are "Always On" and are accessible to end users
irrespective of their access mechanisms.
The IMS architecture can be broadly divided
into the following three sections:
- The IMS Infrastructure: Consisting of components, positioned
at the core of a service providers network, provides the
session and call control functions based on IMS specifications
- IMS Applications: Consisting of application servers deploying
innovative services.
- IMS Clients: Consisting of application clients residing
on the end user handsets
Aricent provides IMS solutions across all the preceding three
layers offering an end-to-end partnership for your IMS initiatives.
IMS Client Framework
The end user handset is a key component in the IMS story.
For the success of the IMS, handsets must be IMS enabled and
support multiple IMS application clients, such as PTT clients,
messaging clients, and gaming clients, which are interoperable
with standards-based application servers.
The IMS client is a platform for mobile client devices that
enables easy introduction of innovative services for IMS networks.
It offers a unique horizontal services framework. On one side
of the framework is the handset platform; the other side is
the client application developed based on the application
server and the application in context.

Framework
OSA Application Server Framework
The application server framework provides OSA-compliant core
SIP functionalities over which applications, such as PTT,
instant messaging, multimedia conferencing, call parking,
call pickup, prepaid, and voice mail can be built in minimal
time frames. The core components are reusable allowing the
service providers to add new applications easily.

The IMS Infrastructure
Aricent is involved in creating Call State Control Functions
for its customers.
Aricent has also worked closely with leading telecom vendors,
to collaboratively develop highly reliable and scalable products
that perform the roles of different control layer components
in an IMS network, such as the various CSCFs (Proxy-Call State
Control Function(P-CSCF), Interrogating-Call State Control
Function (I-CSCF),
Serving-Call State Control Function(S-CSCF)). Aricent already
has the SIP server framework, B2BUA, and the presence framework
to create these network nodes suiting the needs of our customers.

Diameter Stack
The Aricent Diameter Stack - a 3G partnership Project (3GPP)
standards-compliant, Carrier-grade signaling product - offers
OEMs and vendors building IMS network elements and Charging
Gateways scalability, reliability, extensibility, interoperability,
and high performance coupled with significant time and cost
benefits. The Stack has a unique distributed architecture
enabling high capacity (several thousand sessions/second on
a single server), fault tolerance, and support for easy-to-use
external APIs provided in C/C++ and JAVA. In addition, its
modular design enables easy adoption into any host system
software architecture. Find
