Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Level Recognition for High Latency Devices

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing IMS level awareness of high latency device are provided. One method, when a UE attaches to EPC, receiving, at a network node, an indication that the UE is a high latency device. The method may also include assigning, to the UE, an IP address selected from a special IP address range that is designated specifically for high latency devices. When the UE performs IMS registration, the method may include determining that the UE is a high latency UE based on the UE's IP address provided with the IMS registration request and assigned during the EPC attach procedure.
