Abstract
A method of session processing in the Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) comprises: Interrogating-Call State Control Function (I-CSCF) accessing the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) to query the registration location of the called user, the I-CSCF sending the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request to the Serving-Call State Control Function (S-CSCF) based on the response of the HSS; when the response time of the S-CSCF to the SIP request sent from the I-CSCF has expired, the I-CSCF re-selecting the S-CSCF, and sending the SIP request to the S-CSCF. And an Interrogating-Call State Control Function is provided. According to the present invention, if the S-CSCF returned by the HSS to process the unregistered service of the IMS user does not responded because of the device failure or communication interruption or the like, the I-CSCF can re-select other S-CSCF to process the unregistered service of the IMS user, so as to improve the quality of service and to increase the satisfaction of user.
