主权项

1. A method comprising:
initiating a communication session between a user device and a target device for utilizing a network communication service via the target device or in communicating with the target device, wherein the communication session is initiated via a core network; utilizing, by the user device, the network communication service via the communication session, wherein the communication session is controlled based on one or more user profiles reflecting one or more service protocols of the user device, service protocols of the network communication service and one or more attributes for the communication session, wherein the one or more user profiles are stored in the core network remote from any user device; and adapting transmission signaling of the communication session to be compatible with at least one of the service protocols of the user device and with the service protocols of the network communication service, and to facilitate the communication session and the utilization by the user device of the network communication service, wherein the stored one or more user profiles include a registered user, each user device of the registered user that can be used during the communication session regardless of whether or not said each user device of the registered user is currently participating in the communication session, and the desired service control settings for the registered user and for said each user device of the registered user that can be used during the communication session including a device service profile specifying a certain time period that said each user device can be used.
