First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a device and from a user device, a message including a terminal identifier (ID) of the user device and a public user ID associated with a user of the user device;
sending, to a network device, a request for user authentication data, wherein the request includes the public user ID and the terminal ID;
authenticating the user device based on the user authentication data;
creating a registration context of the user device, wherein the registration context of the user device includes the terminal ID, the public user ID, and a registration status of the user device;
storing the registration context for the user device;
sending, to the network device, a server assignment request (SAR) message;
receiving, from the network device, a server assignment answer (SAA) message, wherein subsequent registrations from other user devices associated with the public user ID are to be directed to the device;
storing, by the device, the registration status of the user device based on a combination of the terminal ID and the public user ID, wherein the registration status includes an authentication scheme associated with the user device, and wherein storing the registration status includes;
storing the registration status and the authentication scheme locally when the terminal ID is based on a device type of the user device, andstoring the registration status and the authentication scheme at the network device when the terminal ID is unique for the user; and
sending the message including the terminal ID and the public user ID to an application server, wherein the application server is to provide a session to the user device based on the registration context of the user device.

Abstract
A method may include receiving, at an application server, a session initiation protocol (SIP) message including a public user identifier (ID) associated a user. The public user ID corresponds to a plurality of user devices. The method also includes determining an applicable order of alerting at least one of the plurality of user devices. The method further includes identifying at least one available user device associated with the user, based on a terminal identifier (ID) associated with each at least one available user device. The method also includes selecting a user device from the at least one available user device based on the applicable order of alerting. A SIP invite message, including a terminal ID for the selected user device, is generated. The method includes sending the SIP invite message to the selected user device based on the applicable order of alerting, and receiving a response to the SIP invite message.

8. A device comprising:
-
a memory to store a plurality of instructions; and a processor configured to execute instructions in the memory to; receive, from a user device, a message including a terminal identifier (ID) of the user device and a public user ID associated with a user of the user device; send, to a network device, a request for user authentication data, wherein the request includes the public user ID and the terminal ID; authenticate the user device based on the user authentication data; create a registration context of the user device, wherein the registration context of the user device includes based on the terminal ID, the public user ID, and a registration status of the user device; store the registration context for the user device; send, to the network device, a server assignment request (SAR) message; receive, from the network device, a server assignment answer (SAA) message, wherein subsequent registrations from other user devices associated with the public user ID are to be directed to the device; store the registration status of the user device based on a combination of the terminal ID and the public user ID, wherein the registration status includes an authentication scheme associated with the user device, and wherein, when storing the registration status, the processor is configured to; store the registration status and the authentication scheme locally when the terminal ID is based on a device type of the user device, and store the registration status and the authentication scheme at the network device when the terminal ID is unique for the user; and send the message including the terminal ID and the public user ID to an application server, wherein the application server is to provide a session to the user device based on the registration context of the user device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
