Key IMS Functions and Benefits
 Increase control and profitability through
a common IMS based Service Infrastructure:
 The IMS is an open Service Infrastructure providing Service Support Functions that
assist the development/control/integration of services.
 IMS is not just a simple SIP-Proxy.

Key IMS Service Support Functions:

• SIP Session Control
Terminal Access- and Core Network • Service Control and Brokering
• IMS User-Authentication
Application Server
Application Server • Subscription Handling

IMS Motivation, Drivers and Opportunities (4) –
How does the IMS fit into the Operator network

Service 1 Service 2 Service 3

1. IMS as Service Control Infrastructure: ISC (SIP) ISC (SIP)

 enables the usage of Best-In-Class Application Servers IMS User Profile:

 Service 1, Priority 1
through IMS Service Control / Brokering. SIP  If request method equals INVITE
 If request method equals MESSAGE Service 2, Priority 3 SIP
s INVITE  Service 3, Priority 6
 If request method equal

 enables fast deployment through IMS Service Support Functions. S-CSCF

2. IMS as Core of the FMC Network: Other IMS or

VoIP Network
 enables access agnostic user experience and Mobile
service transparency through wireless – wireline integration (CDMA, GSM) PSTN
as e.g. needed in Hosted Enterprise deployments with
Mobile-/Fixed- IP-Centrex. Fixed IMS Enterprise
(e.g. xDSL)
 enables operator interoperability and vendor interoperability
through IMS standard interfaces. WLAN

3. IMS as Transit Routing / Interconnect Network: PSTN

 enables the support of PSTN Emulation/Simulation. PSTN
 addresses the Interconnect Market by enabling the support Mobile
(CDMA, GSM) IMS
of IP Peering with User-specific Services for Transit Calls. Enterprise

PSTN

The Siemens IMS supports all three scenarios

Page 8 Nov-2006 Klaus Pulverer IMS in Mobile and Fixed Networks / © Siemens 2006
IMS Motivation, Drivers and Opportunities (5) –
Siemens IMS Strategy: IMS based Service Consolidation

 One IMS based Service Infrastructure for: 1) Fixed Market, 2) Mobile

Market, 3) (Hosted) Enterprise Market, 4) Transit/Interconnect Market
will provide a Converged Communication World.
 IMS as central core in 3GPP (Mobile, WLAN), TISPAN (Fixed), PacketCable2.0 (Cable)
ensures interoperability and long term investment protection.

Siemens FMC Reference
Time Warner Cable demonstrates dual mode telephony

München, Stamford, Connecticut, Solution concept

May 2, 2006

Siemens Communications and Time Warner Cable

recently showcased fully integrated fixed line, mobile
FMC Services
and WiFi broadband technologies via the IP Multimedia (VoIP, Mobility)
Subsystem (IMS) designed to deliver fixed mobile
convergence (FMC). The demonstrations, which IMS Softswitch /
recently took place at Time Warner’s U.S. facility, MGCF
highlighted the practical value for network operators of
adopting Siemens’ IMS solutions and also showed how
consumers can enjoy shared multimedia applications,
entertainment features and communication sessions –
all on the basis of converged solutions. Media
… Gateway
The technical platform for simple network handover MTA
and the provision of multimedia services is the
Siemens IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS@vantage).
…
Time Warner, one of the first cable network providers Cable GSM
worldwide to demonstrate IMS, plans to use Siemens Dual Mode
Network Hand Set
Network
technology commercially to support a wide range of
IP-based services.

 Network operators may chose a
stepwise introduction of FMC

Fixed Mobile
Step 1
Deploy VoIP / NGN Deploy IMS
• Gain experience applications applications
• Enable network for FMC service delivery in fixed nets in mobile nets

Step 2 Add e.g. multiple terminal access to fixed network offer,

• Early time-to-market with FMC services add 2G/3G inter-working for video and data applications,
• Full reuse of equipment add fixed-wireless access (e.g. WLAN), ...
• Add few additional components for FMC

Step 3
• Address both fixed and mobile market Single Brand
with complete FMC offering
for bundled fixed & mobile FMC services

Operators that already deploy NGN in fixed, or IMS in mobile networks

today are expected to be first to offer Fixed Mobile Converged services
