1. A method for processing a request message from a User Equipment (UE) in an Internet protocol-based mobile communication system supporting a multimedia service, comprising:
- sending, by the UE, an INVITE request to a Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) to create a new dialog,sending, by the S-CSCF, the INVITE request to a representative application server from one or more representative application servers;
allocating, by the representative application server, a specific lower-layer application server from at least one lower-layer application server, and sending the INVITE request to the specific lower-layer application server by recording only an address of the specific lower-layer application server and an address of the S-CSCF in a record-route of the INVITE request;
processing, by the specific lower-layer application server, the INVITE request and sending a first response to the representative application server;
sending, by the representative application server, the first response to the S-CSCF;
sending, by the S-CSCF, the first response to the UE;
sending, by the UE, a subsequent INVITE request in the new dialog to the S-CSCF;
directly sending, by the S-CSCF, the subsequent INVITE request to the specific lower-layer application server according to the record-route of the INVITE request;
processing, by the specific lower-layer application server, the subsequent INVITE request and sending a second response to the S-CSCF; and
sending, by the S-CSCF, the second response to UE,wherein the representative application server selects the specific lower-layer application server according to user allocation information, andwherein the INVITE request is forwarded to the representative application server according to initial filter criteria at the S-CSCF.

Abstract
A method and system for processing a message in an Internet protocol-based mobile communication system supporting a multimedia service. In the system, application servers include a representative application server and multiple backend application servers. A method for defining a control message between application servers to set up a session using the standard Internet protocol is provided. When an application server performs a call processing operation, control message processing load and control message transmission delay is reduced.

5. An Internet protocol network system for use in an Internet protocol-based mobile communication system supporting a multimedia service, the system processing a request message from a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
-
the UE for sending an INVITE request to a Serving-Call Session Control Function (S- CSCF) to create a new dialog, and sending a subsequent INVITE request in the new dialog to the S-CSCF; the S-CSCF for sending the INVITE request to a representative application server from one or more representative application servers, sending a first response to the UE when the first response is received from the representative application server, directly sending the subsequent INVITE request to a specific lower-layer application server according to a record-route of the INVITE request, and sending a second response to the UE when the second response is received from the specific lower-layer application server; the representative application server for allocating a specific lower-layer application server from at least one lower-layer application server, sending the INVITE request to the specific lower-layer application server by recording only an address of the specific lower-layer application server and an address of the S-CSCF in a record-route of the INVITE request, and sending the first response to the S-CSCF when the first response is received from the specific lower-layer application server; and the specific lower-layer application server for processing the INVITE request and sending the first response to the representative application server, and processing the subsequent INVITE request and sending the second response to the S-CSCF, wherein the representative application server selects the specific lower-layer application server according to user allocation information, and wherein the INVITE request is forwarded to the representative application server according to initial filter criteria at the S-CSCF. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
