==First IMS Node, First Core Network Node, Second IMS Node, and Methods Performed Therein - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18547395 titled 'First IMS Node, First Core Network Node, Second IMS Node, and Methods Performed Therein

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method performed by an IMS node for handling a network function in a communication network. The IMS node requests contact information from a core network node, receives a response with the information, and communicates with another node based on the received information.

* Explanation of the patent/innovation:
    * IMS node requests contact information from a core network node.
    * Core network node responds with at least a part of the contact information.
    * IMS node communicates with another node based on the received contact information.
    * Communication occurs over a service-based interface.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various communication networks, such as VoIP services, video conferencing platforms, and messaging applications.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology streamlines the process of handling network functions by efficiently requesting and receiving contact information from core network nodes, enabling seamless communication between different nodes in the network.

== Benefits ==
* Improved efficiency in handling network functions.
* Enhanced communication between IMS nodes and core network nodes.
* Simplified network management processes.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
* Telecommunication companies could utilize this technology to enhance their network infrastructure.
* Software developers could integrate this innovation into their communication applications to improve performance and reliability.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of similar methods in existing communication networks to facilitate communication between different network nodes.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology impact network security? ===
This article does not delve into the potential security implications of implementing this technology in a communication network. It would be essential to explore how the exchange of contact information between nodes could affect network security measures.

=== What are the scalability limitations of this technology? ===
The article does not address the scalability of this technology in large-scale communication networks. Understanding the potential limitations in handling a high volume of network functions could be crucial for its practical implementation.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method performed by a first IP multimedia system, IMS, node (), for handling a network function in a communication network. The first IMS node () requests a first core network node () for at least a part of contact information of a network function instance, and receives a response from the first core network node () with at least the part of the contact information for the network function instance. The first IMS node () communicates with a second IMS node () or a core network node over a service based interface, based on the received part of the contact information for the network function instance.
