According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a cloud computing system can include a load adaptation architecture framework that performs operations for orchestrating and managing one or more services that may operate within at least one of layers 4 through 7 of the Open Systems Interconnection ('OSP') communication model. The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service. The cloud computing system also can include a hardware resource layer. The hardware resource layer can include a hardware resource that is controlled by a virtualization layer. The virtualization layer can cause the virtual network function to be instantiated on the hardware resource so that the virtual network function can be used to support the service.

Load adaptation architecture framework for orchestrating and managing services in a cloud computing system

The cloud computing system also can include a virtual resource layer. The virtual resource layer can include a virtual network function that provides, at least in part, a service.

A communication device including a non-SIM based client is authenticated for accessing an IMS network. An internet protocol identity is received from the communication device. The internet protocol identity is not associated with a SIM. Authentication information associated with the internet protocol identity is requested and received from the communication device. A determination is made whether the communication device is authenticated based on the internet protocol identity and the authentication information. If the communication device is determined to be authenticated, the communication device is allowed access to the IMS network.

Non-SIM access to cellular networks

The present invention discloses a new paradigm in Multimedia Services Creation Methodology, and new Service Creation and Service Execution Environments, based on this methodology. A service designer can access the Service Creation Environment via a Web based Graphical User Interface (GUI), to design new service in an automated way. The design process includes creation of the Service Logic Script (SLS), and associated databases that are used for storage of service and subscriber related data. The service developer (user) assembles Language Graphical Objects (LGO) into Service Logic Script. LGOs are part of a new graphical language that has been developed to meet multimedia service creation needs. They represent service control and call control primitive functions that have to be performed, in order to provide a multimedia service to service subscribers.

Paradigm in multimedia services creation methodology, and new service creation and service execution environments

Methods, devices, and computer readable storage devices for authenticating devices having non-SIM based clients

Disclosed are a network-based device, method and computer-readable medium for operating an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to provide registration review. The method embodiment includes tracking and storing all current registrations for each user in an IMS system, receiving a request from a user for a status of the user's current registrations and presenting, in response to the request, the current status of current registrations for the user.

System and method of providing a user with a registration review in IMS system

Paradigm in multimedia services creation methodology, and new service creation and service execution enviroments

Disclosed are a network-based device, method and computer-readable medium for providing registration macros in an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). The method embodiment includes receiving an instruction from a user regarding a plurality of registration changes of customer Public User Identities at one or several pieces of equipment and implementing a macro such that the first step comprising at least one of a registration or de-registration and a second step comprising one of a registration or a de-registration both occur based on the instruction from the user.

System and method of providing registration macros in an IMS network-based device

Disclosed are a network-based device, method and computer-readable medium for operating a network device in an IP multimedia subsystem. The method embodiment includes receiving an instruction for a de-registration action for a Public User ID (PUID) registered at a device in the IMS, the instruction being initiated remotely from a device different from the device to which the de-registration applies and performing the de-registration action wherein the PUID is de-registered from the device in the IMS network.

System and method of remotely de-registering devices in IMS system

System and method of providing a user with a registration review in IMS  system

Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a method, which can comprise automatically causing a call to be connected. The call can be connected via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user identity provided by a calling device that requests the call. The SIP public user identity can be associated with one or more called devices. The SIP public user identity can be one of a set of one or more SIP user identities associated with a user.

Devices, systems, and/or methods regarding telecommunications addressing

Disclosed are a network-based device, method and computer readable medium for operating an IMS to provide IMS services to originating sessions from a device upon which the user is not registered. The method includes receiving communication from a user on a device upon which the user is not registered at a 2-stage dialing server, authenticating the user, determining a Public User ID (PUID) for the user, receiving an identification of a called party from the user, arranging for IMS services to be provided to the user on the device, sending an INVITE signal from the 2-stage dialing server on behalf of the user PUID to the called party and setting up the media connection from the device to the device associated with the called party.

System and method of providing IMS services to users on originating non IMS devices and other devices that do not have a previous relationship with the user
