Abstract

Assigning a serving-call session control function (serving-CSCF) to an access terminal includes receiving an access authorization request corresponding to the access terminal. The access terminal is authorized, and a serving-CSCF is assigned to the access terminal. An access authorization response comprising the serving-CSCF address is sent.
