Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to supporting Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) routing with multiple IMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) sessions over different core network slices. In one embodiment, a method comprises, at an Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF), receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite message for an incoming session, where the SIP invite message comprises an IP Multimedia Public Identity (IMPU) of a target User Equipment (UE). The method further comprises, at the I-CSCF, sending, to a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), a query for Serving Call Session Control Functions (S-CSCFs) having registrations for the IMPU of the target UE and receiving, from the HSS, information that indicates two or more S-CSCFs having registrations for the IMPU of the target UE. The method further comprises, at the I-CSCF, forwarding the SIP invite message to at least one of the two or more S-CSCFs.
