Abstract

The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has adapted the Internet-Protocol
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) as a service delivery platform for the Next Generation
Networks (NGN). IMS offers multimedia services over Internet Protocol (IP) based
infrastructure. These services require a mechanism to manage Quality-of-Service (QoS). The
current 3GPP QoS standards are based on Policy Based QoS Management architecture which
provisions QoS in a single IMS domain, but users may be located in different IMS domains,
or roaming between deferent IMS domains. This raise issues regarding management of QoS
across IMS domains. In this paper we will identify these issues in the current IMS Policy
Based QoS Management architecture and propose a mechanism for Inter-domain QoS
management based on the IMS platform.
