1. A method for identifying an incoming request for an inter-user equipment (UE) transfer, the method comprising:
receiving, by a second service centralization and continuity application server (SCC AS) associated with a second UE, an indicator for an inter-UE transfer (IUT) request from a subscription for which a first media and a second media communication session between a first UE and a remote UE have been established, wherein the indicator identifies the first UE; routing, by the second SCC AS, the IUT request to a first SCC AS associated with the first UE based on the indicator, wherein the IUT request causes the first SCC AS to allocate resources for the second UE for session replication with a media related function (MRF) entity; and receiving, by the second SCC AS, an invite request originating from the first SCC AS in response to the first SCC AS allocating resources for the second UE.
