• A default bearer is set up for IMS signaling streams when the UE attaches to the network.
• 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.
• A dedicated bearer for IMS voice media streams is set up during call connection.
• 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.

Operation Support Layer and Service Layer

Operation support layer


Operation support layer •Functions: This layer provides various functions, such as network
management, the web portal, charging, and equipment management.
•NEs: DMS, SPG, CCF, and EMS

Service layer
Service layer
•Functions: This layer consists of different application servers and
ATS resource servers to provide services, such as instant messaging,
(MMtel AS/SCC AS/IP-
SM-GW/IM-SSF/Anchor
conferences, games, as well as service capabilities, such as group and
AS)
media resource capabilities.
•NEs: ATS and RCS
Core Layer
8

The core layer is divided into the following three parts:


Core layer

•IMS domain: NEs in the IMS domain implement such functions for LTE
subscribers as registration, authentication, session path control, service
trigger, route selection, resource control, inter-domain interworking, and
access resource control.

•CS domain: NEs in the CS domain implement such functions for LTE
subscribers as mobility management and voice services, including
handovers and CSFB.

•SingleSDB: The SingleSDB provides the functions of the USCDB, HLR,


IMS-HSS, SAE- HSS, PCRF, DNS/ENUM for centralized storage of
VoLTE subscribers' service data. The data can be used by the CS, IMS, and
EPC domains.
Access Layer
9

Access layer Functions:


•The access layer controls LTE subscriber access and provides mobility
management for LTE subscribers.
•When an LTE subscriber is in the LTE coverage, the subscriber can access an IMS
network through the EPC.
•When a subscriber moves out of the LTE coverage, the subscriber can access an
IMS network through a 2G/3G network using ICS. If the 2G/3G network does not
support ICS, a subscriber accesses a legacy CS network NEs: eMSC server
(mAGCF), S-GW, P-GW, and MME
Terminal Layer
10

• Terminal layer
• LTE terminals are classified into VoLTE terminals and non-VoLTE terminals.

Terminal layer VoLTE terminals are those that rely on an IMS or LTE network to use voice services.
They include Single Radio terminals, LTE data cards, and CPEs.
Non-VoLTE terminals are those that rely on a CS network to use voice services and
that connect to an LTE network to use data services.
They include Dual Radio and CSFB terminals.

• Types: Single Radio terminals (SRVCC terminals), LTE data cards, CPEs, Dual Radio terminals (SVLTE terminals), and CSFB terminals

NE Name Function

Provides a unified service provisioning interface and the web portal and sends the service
SPG provisioning commands received from the BSS to the HSS, ENUM, and AS.

Collects ACR messages from IMS charging NEs, such as the CSCF, ATS, and MGCF,
CCF processes the ARC messages to generate CDRs, and sends the CDRs to a BC specified
by carriers.

EMS Interworks with the BSS to manage NEs in a centralized manner.

NE Name Function
• MMTel AS: provides basic and supplementary multimedia telephony services.
• SCC AS: interworks with the SRVCC IWF and ATCF/ATGW to

provide the eSRVCC function, and provides the T-ADS function to select a domain for
the called party.
• IP-SM-GW: provides short message interworking between IMS and CS domains.
Common • IM-SSF: triggers IN services in the CS domain based on the subscription
telephony information provided by the S-CSCF and the local configuration on the IM-SSF.
application • Anchor AS: Routes VoLTE subscribers' calls to the IMS
server (ATS) domain to trigger convergent services by IN-based number redirection of the
anchor AS, when the VoLTE subscribers

originate or receive a call in the CS domain.


Provides the Open Mobile Alliance Instant Message (OMA IM), Presence, XML

T-ADS
•As defined in 3GPP specifications, domain selection by the network is implemented by the terminating access domain selection (T-
ADS).

•The T-ADS function is integrated with the SCC AS. The SCC AS queries the convergent HLR/HSS for the UE type and access
domain information and implements domain selection based on the carrier policies. Based on the T- ADS information, the SCC AS
determines whether the current call is routed to the IMS or CS network.

Stores service-related data of subscribers, manages subscription information and

location information, and combines the following NEs:


SAE- HSS/HLR

Realizes interworking between an IMS network and a PSTN or PLMN network. If fixed network optimization is required or
the live network provides a lot of fixed network services, the UGC3200 is used as the MGCF. In other scenarios, the
MGCF MSOFTX3000 is used as the MGCF.

NE Name Function
MRFP Provides resources for announcement playing and digit collection, voice conferences, SD video conferences.

Combines the following NEs to provide call control, service triggering, and routing functions:
•I-CSCF: As the entrance to the IMS home network, the I-CSCF assigns or queries
the HSS to select an appropriate S-CSCF to serve subscribers.
•S-CSCF: The S-CSCF is located on the home network as the central IMS node. It implements subscription,
I-CSCF/S-
authentication, session, routes, and service triggering.
CSCF/BGCF
•BGCF: The BGCF is located on the home network to select an MGCF for calls
/MRFC
between an IMS network and a PSTN or PLMN network. It is integrated into the S- CSCF to reduce the need for
standalone BGCFs. Therefore, call connection delay is shorten and the reliability is enhanced.
•MRFC: The MRFC controls the MRFP to play announcements and collect digits,
and provide resources for voice conferences and SD video conferences.

• P-CSCF: located on the visited network as the first contact point for subscribers within an IMS domain. The P-
CSCF forwards SIP signaling between SIP subscribers and their home networks.
• SBC: provides the core border gateway function (C-BGF) and interconnection border gateway function (I-
P- CSCF/SBC/ATC BGF). The C-BGF is deployed at the edge of an access network to provide attack protection and NAT
F/ATGW traversal. The I-BGF provides media channels for an IMS network to interwork with other networks that use
SIP or H.323 signaling.
• ATCF/ATGW: located between the P-CSCF and I-CSCF/S-CSCF and interworks with the SCC AS to provide
eSRVCC.

MGW/IM-MGW Provides audio media channels for interworking between an IMS network and a

• The SRVCC IWF ensures call continuity when terminals move from an LTE network to a 2G/3G network. When receiving the
location update request from a UE, the SRVCC IWF changes the UE access location from the MME to the MSC server based on the
target cell ID contained in the location update request.
