Abstract: A method and system for centralized control of user devices is disclosed. The method for centralized control of user devices via universal IP services registrar includes receiving a request to register a user device for a plurality of services, registering the user device for the plurality of services by creating a user settings profile for the user for each of the plurality of services, receiving data from the plurality of registered services, and transmitting received data to the user device in accordance with the user profile.

Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) is used in IMS in order to provide a mechanism to forward (Internet Protocol) IP packets and provide a simplified solution to the complex signaling path of IMS according to directives from an SDN Controller. SDN is used in at least three particular scenarios. In the first scenario, communications are simplified using SDN directed signaling disaggregation. In the second scenario, SDN is used to direct media function chaining. In the third scenario, the system can be used as an SDN based media relay.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at first communication service provider equipment, a request to initiate a session between the first device and the second device. The second device associated with a particular user of a multimedia service provided by second communication service provider equipment. The first device has access to a particular application to access the multimedia service from the second communication service provider equipment. The method further includes sending a message including a call invitation to the second device to initiate the session. The call invitation includes location data related to a connection between the second device and the second communication service provider equipment for transfer of the particular application from the second communication service provider to the second device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a first communication service provider, a request (by a first device and including identification information associated with a particular user of a second device) to initiate a session between the first device and the second device for a multimedia service provided by a second communication service provider. The method includes determining access information associated with the second device based on the identification information and sending a call invitation to the second device to initiate the session. Accepting the call invitation causes the second device to receive the particular application (which is executable to facilitate initiation of the session) from the second communication service provider via a connection between the second device and the second communication service provider.
