Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with provisioning an Internet Protocol (IP) core network services multimedia subsystem (IMS) are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) logic operably connectable to components including, a user database, an application server (AS), and a permissions database. The HSS logic may be a component of an IMS that facilitates communications between application servers and users. Thus, the HSS logic may be configured to receive an AS-to-user-database-interface-message (AUDIM) and to selectively update the permissions database based, at least in part, on the AUDIM. The user database may store user data concerning IMS users and the permissions database may store information for controlling AUDIM initiated interactions between an AS and the user database.

Automated application server (AS) permissions provisioning

Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with provisioning an internet protocol (IP) multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes logic for provisioning an IMS charging database with charging data and logic for provisioning an IMS user database with user data. The exemplary system embodiment may also include logic for provisioning an IMS call session control function (CSCF) logic with data that relates a user to charging information based, at least in part, on a charging class of service (COS) identifier.

Charging database with class of service (COS)

Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with provisioning an internet protocol (IP) multimedia core network subsystem (IMS) are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes logic for provisioning an IMS application server (AS) database with AS data and logic for provisioning an IMS user database with user data. The exemplary system embodiment may also include logic for provisioning an IMS initial filter criteria (IFC) database with data that relates a user to an AS based, at least in part, on an AS class of service (COS) identifier.

Application server (AS) database with class of service (COS)

Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with provisioning an internet protocol (IP) multimedia sub-system (IMS) are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes logic for provisioning an IMS initial filter criteria (IFC) database with IFC data and logic for provisioning an IMS user database with user data. The exemplary system embodiment may also include logic for provisioning an IMS call session control function (CSCF) logic with data that relates user data to IFC data based, at least in part, on a class of service (COS) identifier.
