voice services over lte/epc

>Introduction

LTE/EPC is only Packet (IP)

2G/3G and CDMA
Specific management of CS telephony
through the whole system

LTE/EPC
Telephony is treated as any other IP
based service/application

CS Services in LTE

MMTel IMS-based Multimedia Telephony.

SR-VCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity)
ICS (IMS centralized service)

CS Fallback (CSFB)

Objectives
Describe CS Fall Back solution
Describe MMTel solution
Single Radio Voice Call Continuity
IMS centralized services

>Overview

CS Fallback
MSS as voice engine for LTE subscribers
2. CS domain updated of
subscribers whereabouts through
CS signaling over MME-MSC (LUP,
SMS etc.)
1. Subscriber registered
in MSC but roam in LTE

CS signaling
4. Page over

5. Release with
redirect

6. Page response
and call setup
over 2G/3G
radio

Payload

3. Incoming call to
subscriber in LTE

What is MMTel?
IMS based solution for IP multimedia telephony
Voice and video
High Quality

Image/

MMTel deployed in the 2G /3G network => Single Radio Voice Call
Continuity (SRVCC).
Classical CS network without MMTel capabilities => IMS Centralized
Services (ICS)

IMS Centralized services (ICS)

ICS enables IMS service control when using CS access for the media
bearer.
It provides the same end user experience to subscribers, as if they
were using LTE access.
It enables support of the MMTel service engine over legacy CS access
from an MMTel/ICS device

3a. The MSS and

RAN prepares to
receive a handover

5. The UE
tunes in to
GSM or
WCDMA
1. UE sends
measurements,
the eNodeB
decides to do
SRVCC HO

4. The SCC AS
finds the
anchored call
and executes
session transfer

2. The MME
handles the
SRVCC HO via
the Sv interface
