The SIP-based multimedia communication system for providing mobility using
lifelong numbers provides mobility through SIP network service domains
and a global domain. The SIP network service domain comprises a user
agent and an SIP network server. The user agent transmits
request/response messages between users to set up, correct, and cancel
calls, and when contact information of the user agent is registered and
registration of the contact information is cancelled, requests to be
informed of state changes in registration information. The SIP network
server performs message routing between user agents and informs the
contact information of the user agents during message routing. The global
domain manages the SIP network service domains and allocates global SIP
identifiers, that is, lifelong numbers to users to provide user-centered
mobility.
