METHODS FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INTERNET PROTOCOL MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM (IMS) DEVICES AND NON-IMS DEVICES AND BETWEEN IMS DEVICES ON DIFFERENT IMS NETWORKS AND RELATED ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS

摘要

A bridge device is used to setup communication sessions between Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) devices and non-IMS devices or between non-IMS devices over an IMS network. Once a communication session is established, the IMS Bridge device may translate messages received from the respective endpoint devices between IMS and non-IMS formats.
