Voice media streams

1. A default bearer is set up for IMS signaling streams when the UE attaches to
the network.
2. After the UE initiates a call, SIP signaling streams for call connection is
transmitted over the default bearer through the P-GW to the IMS Core.
3. A dedicated bearer for IMS voice media streams is set up during call
connection.
4. Voice media streams of the calling and called parties are transmitted over the
dedicated bearer.
The PCRF assigns and delivers QoS rules for signaling and media streams during
the setup of default and dedicated bearers. This ensures quality of signaling and
media streams.

 Overview - SRVCC Definition
 Single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) is an IMS-based VoLTE. Peer network
 VCC describes how a voice call can be continued when a UE moves between the
Remote
target CS domain and the LTE domain supporting VoIP services. UE

 SRVCC describes how a voice call can be continued when a Single Radio UE moves
between LTE/Pre-LTE and 2G/3G networks, that is, when a Single Radio UE IMS CS
SCC AS
switches between IMS-controlled VoIP voice services and CS voice services.
 Calls are set up in the LTE or IP domain over VoIP or VoIMS.
 When a subscriber moves to an area uncovered by the LTE network while holding SBC/P-CSCF SRVCC
IWF
a call, the call is switched to the CS domain. SRVCC interprets a switchover
EPC
process.
 SRVCC solution: The media handover point is a peer device, such as a peer UE. S-GW/
MME MSC MGW
P-GW server
After the local access network changes, the local side must send the address of
the new bearer device to the peer device. The peer device then updates bearer
addresses.
E-UTRAN UE UTRAN/GERAN
 E2E signaling and bearer are re-established. Bearer before a
handover
 The IMS network sends the updated media information to the remote network, Handover Bearer after a
handover
and a session is interrupted.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. 5

 Overview - eSRVCC Definition
 Target: The handover delay is less than 300 ms even during roaming or cross-carrier Peer network

interworking scenario. Remote

UE
 Policy: The remote session update process is optimized. The media handover point is
near to the local side, which shortens the duration for transmitting an update message.
 Method: Media and signaling planes are anchored at the ATCF or ATGW to avoid the IMS CS
SCC AS
IMS session transfer process. When an eSRVCC handover is performed, only the bearer
between the UE and the ATGW needs to be set up. The original bearer is reused to
transmit media streams between the peer device and the ATGW. SBC/P-CSCF/

VoLTE Deployment Strategy
Prerequisite for VoLTE
• UE must be VoLTE Capable; IMS must be deployed and functional
• Transmission latency meet the requirement as voice service has higher requirement on E2E real time latency. If the total
transmission latency is higher than 275ms, VoLTE solution is not recommended. (Please see eRAN8.1 VoLTE FPD for specific
description)
• Before VoLTE launch, comprehensive IOT test should be done with CN and common UE, to identify compatibility issues.

Only basic VoLTE function during initial Phase

• VoLTE basic function has been commercially launched in multiple projects, it is recommended.
• VoLTE enhanced solution is on trial in several projects, and it requires commercial assurance. It is not recommended at
this stage. In case customer requests, only can be enabled in eRAN7.0 and subsequent versions, meanwhile R&D support
is required. RoHC and TTI bundling have been recommended to commercial use in eRAN8.1 or above.

VoLTE Enhancement Feature Strategy

Feature ID Feature Name Commercial Status
LOFD-001016 VoIP Semi-persistent Scheduling 1) Very few commercial terminals, lack of beta verifications, not recommended at this stage;
2) If customer request, recommend to enable in eRAN7.0 or subsequent versions,
meanwhile R&D support is required during the feature deployment.
LOFD-001017 Robust Header Compression (ROHC) Recommended in eRAN8.1 or above.
LOFD-001048 TTI Bundling Recommended in eRAN8.1 or above.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. 12

VoLTE Mobility Strategy
Enable intra-Freq and inter-Freq handover, configure dedicated mobility handover parameters for
VoLTE
• Normally VoLTE is deployed on the inventory LTE network with PS service only. The mobility parameter settings for PS
might be very solid after multiple rounds of optimization. Because of QoS difference between voice and data, after VoLTE is
deployed, it is recommended to configure separate parameter settings for voice and data including intra-Freq and inter-
Freq. PS use live network settings, voice service can use the default value at initial stage. The subsequent optimization on
VoLTE will have minimum impact on PS service KPIs.

SRVCC – L2U CS Only SRVCC Recommended

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. 13

VoLTE Associated/Related Features Strategy
Uplink RLC Segment Enhancement
• It restricts uplink dynamic scheduled TBS to limit the RLC segment number on VoIP packets, to improve voice quality
when channel quality is poor. Recommend to switch ON.

Voice Characteristic Awareness Scheduling

• Uplink delay-based dynamic scheduling ： With delay-based scheduling, the larger VoLTE packet delay, the higher
scheduling priority. It is mainly used for large traffic, due to less verification and unobvious gain in normal scenario.
• Estimation of uplink VoLTE volume for dynamic scheduling: With uplink VoLTE volume for dynamic scheduling, more
precise calculation for VoLTE UL dynamic scheduling volume, reduce extra VoLTE packet delay due to insufficient
scheduling volume,improve voice quality in cell heavy load and DRX scenario. Recommended On.
• Independent configuration for voice inactivity timer: For non DRX scenario, with independent configuration for voice
inactivity timer, avoid the terminated call not answered and as a result the original call released due to UE inactive timer
expires. After that, UE maybe reselect the cell not support VoLTE in idle mode, when the terminated call begins to answer
this moment, it will cause QCI1 establishment failure, call not ongoing. Recommended On.

UL Compensation Scheduling
• UL compensation scheduling can guarantee UL voice packet transmit in time, reduce waiting time and paket loss.
Recommended on.
