Abstract

The falling trend in the revenue of traditional telephony services has attracted attention to new IP based services. The IP Multimedia System (IMS) is a key architecture which provides the necessary platform for delivery of new multimedia services. However, current implementations of IMS do not offer automatic scalability or elastisity for the growing number of customers. Although the cloud computing paradigm has shown many promising characteristics for web applications, it is still failing to meet the requirements for telecommunication applications. In this paper, we present some related cloud computing patterns and discuss their adaptations for implementation of IMS or other telecommunication systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    They rely on human operations to deploy further resources to accommodate the increase of demand.

  2. 2.

    Although the described micro service architecture does not include all of the functionalities in an IMS, it povides a good coverage for most of its functionalities and makes us able to study different aspects of cloud based implementation of IMS, as discussed in this paper.

  3. 3.

    In Sect. 5, we discuss this further by presenting our experimental results for the latency.
