IMS S2 signalling flow - Session Initiation: mobile origination and termination in home network - IMS S2-1c. SIP INVITE request (UE1 to UE2): from S-CSCF1 to I-CSCF2
  • As S-CSCF1 knows that the next hop I-CSCF is in the same home network (and therefore, a loose router), it includes a Route header.
  • Request-URI: In the case where the Request-URI of the incoming INVITE request to S-CSCF contains a TEL-URL, it has to be translated to a globally routable SIP-URL before applying it as Request-URI of the outgoing INVITE request. For this address translation the S-CSCF uses the services of an ENUM-DNS protocol according to RFC 2916, or any other suitable translation database.
  • P-Charging-Vector: S-CSCF1 adds the identifier of its own network to the originating Inter Operator Identifier (IOI) parameter of this header.
  • I-CSCF2 sends a query to the HSS to find out the S-CSCF of the called user. The HSS responds with the address of the current S-CSCF for the terminating subscriber.
