This paper describes the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a Service Delivery Platform architecture for providing multimedia applications in converging fixed and mobile IP networks, called Next Generation Networks (NGN). It introduces the IMS architecture, which represents a combination of the classic Intelligent Network concept of the telecom world and current Internet protocols, and highlights the main IMS components and control features for the provision of multimedia information and communication services. Furthermore, the paper is focusing on the IMS Quality of Service (QoS) aspects defined within 3GPP IMS and ETSI TISPAN NGN.

Dieser Artikel beschreibt die IP-Multimedia-Subsystem(IMS)-Architektur als Dienstplattform für multimediale Informations- und Kommunikationsanwendungen in konvergierenden Netzen, auch Next Generation Networks (NGN) genannt. Nach einer Einführung der IMS-Architektur, die auf einer Kombination der klassischen Intelligenten Netze- und aktuellen Internetprotokollen basiert, werden die IMS-Hauptkomponenten sowie die Kontrollflüsse zur Bereitstellung von Multimediadiensten beleuchtet. Weiterhin konzentriert sich der Artikel auf die in der 3GPP und ETSI TISPAN NGN standardisierten IMS-Dienstgüteaspekte.
