Abstract

In this paper, we propose an architecture for communication between the IPv4-based UA and the IPv6-based UA in IMS based Mobile Networks, and design and implement the IMS protocol Translator for verification of the architecture. For the design of the internetworking between the IPv4 and the IPv6, we analyze the transition mechanisms and investigate the protocol translator. The IMS protocol translator is composed of the IMS-ALG(IP Multimedia Subsystem - Application Level Gateway) and TrGW(Translation Gateway), and the conformance of these components are verified by experiments.

본 논문에서는 IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem)기반의 이동통신망에서 IPv4를 기반으로하는 UA(User Agent)와 IPv6를 기반으로 하는 UA간 통신을 위한 구조를 제안하고 이를 검증하기 위해 IMS 프로토콜 변환기를 설계하고 구현한다. 이를 위하여 IPv4/IPv6간의 이전 시나리오를 정리하고 분석하였고 분석된 결과를 바탕으로 이전의 필수 요소인 프로토콜 변환기를 제시하였다. 제시된 IMS 프로토콜 변환기는 IMS-ALG(IP Multimedia Subsystem - Application Level Gateway)기능과 TrGW(Translation Gateway)의 기능들로 구성되었고 이들 구성요소를 구현하고 실험을 통하여 이들의 적합성을 검증하였다.
