  • Reducing IMS network congestion when a node in the IMS network becomes unavailable
    Patent number: 12706963
    Abstract: When operational, a first node of an IMS network handles a registration of a UE on the IMS network, and receives a first request to reregister the UE with the IMS network. The first node creates a registration confirmation, and sends the registration confirmation to the UE. The second node of the IMS network receives a second request to reregister the UE with the IMS network and an indication that the first node has failed. The second node reduces IMS network congestion by avoiding reporting to the UE that the first node has failed, and by sending a message confirming reregistration. Upon receiving the message, the UE considers the registration valid for a predetermined period. Upon expiration of the predetermined period the UE sends a request to reregister. The message prevents the UE from congesting the IMS network.
