Content for TS 24.228 Word version: 5.15.0
1 Scope p. 9
The present document gives examples of signalling flows for the IP multimedia call control based on SIP and SDP.
These signalling flows demonstrate the interaction with the IP-connectivity network (GPRS), and with the protocol provided at the Cx interface.
These signalling flows provide detailed signalling flows, which expand on the overview information flows provided in TS 23.228.

3 Definitions and abbreviations p. 10
3.1 Definitions p. 10
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
IM CN subsystem:
(IP Multimedia CN subsystem) comprises of all CN elements for the provision of IP multimedia applications over IP multimedia sessions
IP multimedia session:
set of multimedia senders and receivers and the data streams flowing from senders to receivers. IP multimedia sessions are supported by the IP multimedia CN Subsystem and are enabled by IP connectivity bearers (e.g. GPRS as a bearer). A user may invoke concurrent IP multimedia sessions.
Stateful proxy:
logical entity that maintains state information at least for the duration of a SIP transaction, see RFC 3261 [3]
