FYI,

3GPP specifications can be downloaded from web site.
  http://www.3gpp.org/specs/numbering.htm

Basically, fundamentals of the IMS specifications of 3GPP are in : 
 stage 1 / Services & scopes : 22 series.
 stage 2 / Architecture : 23 series.
 stage 3 / Signalling : 24 series.

TS24.228 (24 series)
 This document gives examples of signalling flows for the IP multimedia
 call control based on SIP and SDP.

TS24.229 (24 series)
 This document defines a call control protocol for use in the IMS 
 based on SIP and SDP.
