The primary goal of TS 23.380 is to ensure service continuity and high availability within the IMS core network. While network nodes (like the S-CSCF, HSS, and P-CSCF) are designed for reliability, maintenance or unforeseen failures can cause data loss or corruption. This document standardizes automatic restoration procedures to minimize user impact when these events occur. 2. Core Restoration Scenarios
: Integrated support for LTE and 5G networks, ensuring that high-speed packet-based services remain resilient.

Restoration relies on specific signaling flows and data synchronization methods: The primary goal of TS 23
: Focused on basic IMS recovery for GSM and UMTS. : Procedures for when a Serving-Call Session Control
: Procedures for when a Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) fails or loses registration data. It defines how the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and other nodes collaborate to re-register users or restore sessions.
: Handling failures of application servers that provide specific services (e.g., VoLTE, messaging). 3. Key Technical Mechanisms
