Abstract
The Next Generation Network (NGN) architecture was proposed for delivering various multimedia services with guaranteed quality. For this reason, the elements of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) concept (an important part of 4G/5G/6G mobile networks) are used in its service stratum. This paper presents comprehensive research on how the parameters of an IMS/NGN network and traffic sources influence mean Call Set-up Delay (E(CSD)) and mean Call Disengagement Delay (E(CDD)), a subset of standardized call processing performance (CPP) parameters, which are significant for both network users and operators. The investigations were performed using our analytical traffic model of a multidomain IMS/NGN network with Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology applied in its transport stratum, which provides transport resources for the services requested by users. The performed experiments allow grouping network and traffic source parameters into three categories based on the strength of their effect on E(CSD) and E(CDD). These categories reflect the significance of particular parameters for the network operator and designer (most important, less important and insignificant).
