Service Continuity (2) - SRVCC Overview

Service Continuity (2) - SRVCC Overview

Alternatives for Delivering Voice in FTTP

1). SRVCC Overview:


§ As SRVCC (as Voice call continuit) between IMS over PS access and CS access for calls, the IMS multimedia telephony sessions needs to be anchored in IMS when the UE is capable of transmitting/receiving on only one of those access networks at a given time.

§ Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) is used for Circuit Switched (CS) calls that are anchored in the IMS

§ from E‑UTRAN to CDMA2000 1xCS

§ from E‑UTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN

§ from HSPA to UTRAN/GERAN

§ SRVCC from E‑UTRAN/UTRAN (HSPA) access to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN CS accesses for voice calls that are anchored in the IMS

§ Handling of SRVCC from 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN CS accesses to E‑UTRAN/UTRAN (HSPA) direction is not specified in this release (R8)

§ A 3GPP SRVCC UE is a UE enhanced for IMS Service Continuity with the additional UE capabilities described in this specification for SRVCC between two access networks as above.


2.1). SRVCC: from E-UTRAN to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN


§ STN-SR = Session Transfer Number for SR-VCC

§ MME first receives the handover request from E‑UTRAN with the indication that this is for SRVCC handling,

§ Then MME triggers the SRVCC procedure with the MSC Server enhanced with SRVCC via the Sv interface if MME has SRVCC STN-SR information for this UE.

§ MSC Server enhanced for SRVCC then initiates the session transfer procedure to IMS and coordinates it with the CS handover procedure to the target UTRAN/GERAN cell.

§ MSC Server enhanced for SRVCC then sends PS-CS handover Response to MME, which includes the necessary CS HO command information for the UE to access the UTRAN/GERAN

§ Handling of any non‑voice PS bearer is done by the PS bearer splitting function in the MME.

§ MME starts the handover of non‑voice PS bearer during SRVCC procedure based on the information received from E‑UTRAN.

§ The MME is responsible to coordinate the Forward Relocation Response from SRVCC and PS‑PS handover procedure

§ http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh56dhg_303g937w8gp


2.3). SRVCC architecture for E-UTRAN to 3GPP2 1xCS (N/A Here)


3.1). Emergency Call for SRVCC Overview:


§ E-STN-SR = Emergency Session Transfer Number for SRVCC

§ E-SCC AS = Emergency Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server

§ Emergency Session Transfer Number for SRVCC (E-STN-SR): A number used in the session transfer procedure for emergency calls for SRVCC, pointing toward the serving (visited if roaming) IMS E-SCC AS which handles the IMS emergency session transfer from PS to CS access

§ IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Emergency Sessions is supported via E-CSCF

§ The Emergency solution should be able to provide continuity of location support the SR VCC of emergency calls by providing the PSAP with an accurate initial and updated location estimate


3.2). Emergency SRVCC Architecture for E-UTRAN to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN


§ http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddh56dhg_305fx65xmhp


3.3). Emergency SRVCC for E-UTRAN to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN


§ allow SR VCC for IMS emergency session from E-UTRAN to 2/3G CS.

§ It uses E-STN-SR for session transfer procedure where the E-STN-SR is an Emergency Session Transfer Number for SR VCC.

§ MSC Server is enhanced for SR VCC (aka SR VCC MSC).

§ SR VCC MSC initiates the session transfer with E‑STN‑SR, using the same procedure as defined for regular SR VCC with STN-SR.

§ E-STN-SR points toward the serving (visited if roaming) IMS network which handles the IMS emergency session.

§ The E-SCC AS performs the session continuity when the INVITE (E-STN-SR) is received.

Note: The MME or SGSN has to be aware that the UE is having an emergency session.


3.4). Limited Service Mode (UICC-less) using equipment identifier


§ In order to support SRVCC emergency session domain transfer for UEs in Limited Service Mode (e.g. UICC-less) using equipment identifier, the MME shall support Limited Service Mode UE emergency attach using unauthenticated IMSI or equipment identifier.

§ When EUTRAN (UTRAN) determines that SR VCC is needed, MME/SGSN invokes SR VCC via Sv interface to MSC enhanced for SR VCC including in any case the UE's equipment identifier.

§ The equipment identifier is passed to MSC server via the MME.

§ The MSC enhanced for SR VCC will setup the call leg towards the E-SCC AS with the UE's equipment identifier.

§ If the MSC enhanced for SR VCC has a SIP interface, it shall carry equipment identifier as a SIP URI to the E-SCC AS.

§ If the MSC enhanced for SRVCC does not have a SIP interface, it may convey the equipment identifier by using the IAM message to the MGCF. The MGCF then sends this with an INVITE to E-SCC AS.

§ The E-SCC AS can then correlate the call legs according to the equipment identifier.

§ The equipment identifier is then communicated to the E-SCC AS to allow the E-SCC AS to correlate the session when updating the new leg.
