Abstract :
SIP is considered as a signaling protocol for IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) and IMS is introduced as the next generation networking platform. Unlike positive features such as text-based, IP-based, data-independent, support mobility and end-to-end, SIP lacks a proper overload control mechanism. Hence, this challenge will cause the widespread users of next generation networks to loss quality of service. IMS is a complex network consisting of subsystems, interacting with each other. As a result, multi-agent systems can be a useful tool to solve the IMS overload. Therefore, each IMS server is considered as an intelligent agent with learning and negotiation ability with other agents while maintaining autonomy therefore, the overload is eliminated by communication and knowledge transferred between agents. In this paper, multi-agent system and their properties presents a hop-by-hop elimination-based method which simulation results show performance improvement compared to known methods.
