SIP: Understanding the Session Initiation Protocol |
7.4 IMS Header Fields
Some SIP header fields have been developed based on 3GPP requirements. These so-called P-headers (which stands for proprietary, preliminary, or private) are defined in syntax only in an informational RFC per the old SIP change process
[16].Some are listed in Table 7.2.
In addition, the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) [21] has registered the P-
headers in Table 7.3, which are associated with their Push-to-Talk over Cellular (POC) feature. As part of this feature, a SIP event package is defined [24].
7.5 Conclusion
It is clear that as IP networks become increasingly wireless, SIP will often be utilized over wireless networks. It is well suited for such use for the reasons discussed in this chapter: it has both built-in mobility support when Mobile IP is not used, and can also be used with Mobile IP depending on the wireless network design. Additional work on authentication and roaming will likely be done with SIP as the extensions developed for the 3GPP architecture are too specific to be useful in most other networks.

7.6Questions
Q7.1 What types of mobility does SIP provide?
Q7.2 Show the call flow where SIP mobility is in use between two networks where SIP requests must traverse a new proxy server.
Q7.3 Which SIP methods and header fields can be used to implement various types of mobility? Give an example of each.
Q7.4 Discuss how SIP mobility and Mobile IP can provide similar and different functions.
