Abstract  Abstract

Embodiments of computer-implemented methods systems computing devices and computer-readable media are described herein for allowing a mobile network operator to perform services on behalf of a non-internet protocol multimedia subsystem (non-IMS) data provider. In various embodiments an application server (AS) front end of the data provider is communicatively connected to a user data repository (UDR) and a home subscription server (HSS). The HSS is also connected to the UDR. Neither the non-IMS AS nor the HSS store user data but instead communicate with the UDR across various reference points. The communication across the reference points facilitates the HSS performing various user services on behalf of the non-IMS AS. Other embodiments include user access and authentication procedures in such a network architecture as well as corresponding policy and charging architecture.
