Method and apparatus for enabling registration of endpoint devices through provisioning
First Claim
1. A method for enabling registration of an endpoint device that is incapable of supporting a session initiation protocol based internet protocol multimedia subsystem registration, comprising:
- performing a static registration of the endpoint device that is incapable of supporting the session initiation protocol based Internet protocol multimedia subsystem registration in a plurality of network elements associated with an internet protocol multimedia subsystem network, wherein the static registration comprises a registration process that is initiated and performed by a service provider of an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem communication network using a provisioning process; and
processing a call request associated with the endpoint device by an application server using the static registration, wherein the application server is one of the plurality of network elements.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for enabling registration of an endpoint device that is incapable of supporting a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration are disclosed. For example, the method performs a static registration of the endpoint device in a plurality network elements associated with an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network by provisioning that is initiated by a service provider of the IMS network. The method processes an originating call request or a terminating call request associated with the endpoint device by an Application Server (AS) using the static registration, wherein the application server is one of the plurality network elements.
