Abstract: Methods, media, and systems provide a more robust IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) deregistration process that deregisters a user equipment under circumstances that currently prevent a timely deregistration. For example, the aspects deregister a user equipment (UE) from an IMS core even when the UE disconnects from the Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) or other EPC component without sending a SIP deregistration to the IMS core. The technology described herein automatically generates a deregistration message and communicates the message to the IMS core (e.g., a Session Termination Request Communication using Diameter Protocol between a PCRF & a P-CSCF) upon determining the session with the EPC is terminated. The UE is then deregistered from the IMS core.
