IMS ICS Overview

IMS Centralized Services (ICS) Highlights

Emphasizing the IMS core network

Ultimate goal: all network elements are IMS capable
All network services are provided via IMS
Existing basic call and supplementary services
New multi-media services (MMTel, Video etc.)

Allows legacy UE access

Best effort service delivery up to the UE capability
Access adaptation allows non-IMS UE to gain access to IMS network

Leading to future
Achieve the fix mobile convergence (FMC) goal
Unified core network and services, diversified access methods
IMS core and IMS centered multi-media services
IMS access via wireless or wire-line accesses
Non-IMS legacy accesses

Challenges
Service continuity
Across different networks
Deal with different UEs, especially non-IMS capable ones

Service consistency
IMS services shall be consistently provided using different network accesses

IMS Centralized Services (ICS): Provided Services

IMS Centralized Services (ICS) Requirements

Services
Service control always performed by home IMS network
Service providers can be
Home IMS network
Visited IMS network
3rd party provider

Service coverage
IMS supplementary services (3GPP TS 24.173)
Other provider specific IMS services

Service delivery
Best effort: deliver the service up to UE and access network capabilities

Support for legacy devices

No absolute need to upgrade to IMS UEs to receive ICS
Service offerings to legacy UEs will be limited
Support for roaming
ICS need to support the following roaming cases
Roaming within the home network
Roaming between home and visited networks (subject to roaming agreement)
Roaming between different access networks (GSM/UMTS, WLAN, Wireline Broadband etc.)

In case of ICS is not or only partially supported by roaming partners

Only the subset of ICS services are provided or
Only basic call services are supported or
Roaming to these networks is barred
6

IMS Centralized Services (ICS) Requirements

Service Continuity
Service continuity shall be sustained as much as possible across different access networks
User device and access network capabilities may have constraints on service continuity
Service Consistency
Services hosted in IMS shall be available via any access networks

A reduced set of ICS may be offered subject to constrains of the access network
Call independent services (e.g. Cal Forwarding) shall be supported
Emergency calls shall be supported
Priority services for ICS users are desired.

Application Server
(SCC AS)

IMS Centralized Services (ICS) SCC AS

SCC AS is a Home network element

provides functionality required to enable IMS Centralized Services.
in the session path using originating and terminating Initial filter criteria (iFC)
the first AS in the originating iFC chain
the last AS in the terminating iFC chain

May be invoked through the use of PSI termination procedures when using CS
access.
SCC AS main roles
ICS User Agent (IUA): provides SIP UA behaviour on behalf of the UE
CS Access Adaptation (CAA): provides interworking functions for CS UE access to
IMS network elements
Terminating Access Domain Selection (T-ADS):
Directs an incoming session to an ICS User
For one or more UEs of an ICS User:
Influences the selection of one or more contacts amongst the registered contacts
Influences the selection of an access network for delivery of the incoming session to the
selected contact
Performs breakout to the CS Domain by fetching the CSRN.

I1 Service Control Signalling Termination :

SCC AS Interfaces
I1: ICS UE access to SCC AS via CS (for service control signalling)
I1 reference point is optional and implemented using USSD transport via CS
network elements.

Gm: ICS UE access to SCC AS via PS (through CSCF/ISC)

I2: Non-ICS UE access to SCC via CS (through MSC Server enhanced for ICS
and CSCF/ISC)

IMS Centralized Services (ICS) SCC AS

ICS UE  SCC AS Signaling paths

Service control signaling path:
Used to transport service control signalling between ICS UE and SCC AS
For enabling IMS services via CS or PS access
Used when needed

CS bearer control signaling path:

Used to transport media bearer control signaling
For managing service required bearer media resources.

What SCC AS does in controlling services

Acting as a B2BUA
Combines the service control signalling and CS Bearer Control Signalling to
form the Access Leg
Using IMS signaling to interact with CSCF on behalf of UE as the remote Leg
