Abstract:
1. An IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) system configured for a plurality of modems, comprising: a processor; and a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium stores a routing table, and wherein the memory medium also stores program instructions executable by the processor to: receive a first application request that includes first quality of service (QOS) parameters and first connection information for a first application; store the first QOS parameters and the first connection information in the routing table according to a first QOS format; establish a first connection for the first application using a first modem among the plurality of modems based on the first QOS parameters and the first connection information, wherein the first connection utilizes a first communication technology based on the first connection information; receive a second application request that includes second quality of service (QOS) parameters and second connection information for a second application, wherein the second QOS parameters and the second connection information are different from the first QOS parameters and the first connection information; store the second QOS parameters and the second connection information in the routing table according to a second QOS format; establish a second connection for the second application using a second modem among the plurality of modems based on the second QOS parameters and the second connection information, wherein the second connection utilizes a second communication technology based on the second connection information; and if the second communication technology is not available and only the first communication technology is available, convert the second QOS parameters to the first QOS format in the routing table in order to request an appropriate QOS level using the first communication technology.
