GSMA Voice over LTE Initiative

What is the One Voice Initiative?


One Voice is was an effort to use already defined standards to specify a mandatory set of functionality for devices, the LTE Access Network, the Evolved Packet Core Network, and the IP Multimedia Subsystem in order to define a Voice and SMS over LTE solution using an IMS architecture. Goals included:
Define a common approach to implement voice and SMS in LTE Speed up commercial deployment of IMS voice over LTE Pave the way to true multimedia architecture by building an LTE voice ecosystem based on IMS Avoid fragmentation caused by alternative market options

This is now a GSMA Effort

Motivation for this effort


3GPP standards have been in existence for a while; this global effort would enable a consistent implementation of these standards Reduce risk of market fragmentation for LTE based Voice Customers, Vendors, and Operators will benefit from a globally implementable standard
Customers will be assured of a smooth migration to LTE voice services with global roaming Speeds up of the availability of voice/data devices for LTE This IMS based solution lays the foundation for rich voice/data services Common implementation plans will ensure successful multi-vendor IOT

Although this profile focuses on LTE access, this IMS based voice profile would support other access technologies e.g. fixed.

History
Formerly known as the One Voice Initiative

An informal group of companies committed to ensuring a common industry solution for supporting Voice and SMS over LTE.

Formed in June 2009


Original Members: Ericsson, Nokia, Nokia Siemens Networks, Sony Ericsson, Verizon and Vodafone. Subsequent additions: Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, France Telecom/Orange, Samsung, Telefonica, TeliaSonera.

Produced Version 1.0 of the One Voice; Voice over IMS Profile

Profile published with a press release at LTE Americas, on Nov 4, 2009, in Dallas, Texas, USA

One Voice initiative participants and a GSMA VoLTE Task force agreed to transition the profile and future work to GSMA One Voice also agreed to hand over its planned testing activities to IMTC (Intl. Multimedia Telecommunications Consortium)

Approach used by the One Voice Initiative


Bring together key stakeholders

Device vendors IMS and LTE network vendors Operators

Define a common LTE IMS Voice and SMS profile compliant with 3GPP specifications

A common feature set and option selection across the whole protocol stack: radio, IP & transport, application protocols No limit on features or options The profile would facilitate interoperability testing and compliancy

This effort should NOT


Create new standards Be an open ended commitment; once its work is done an orderly ramp down would be executed.

Technical summary of GSMA IMS Voice Profile


IMS feature part

defines mandatory capabilities which are required over the Gm and Ut reference points including supplementary services endorses a set of media capabilities such as RTP profile, RTCP and SDP usage lists required functions requirements for carrier grade VoIP service gives recommended APN and bearer strategies including both signalling and media bearers. covers topics such as IP version and emergency session.

IMS media part

LTE radio capabilities

Bearer management

Common functions

Motivation for AT&T to get involved


North American operators are pursuing LTE deployment aggressively and need a standardized voice solution
AT&T LTE trails planned this year; commercial deployment 2011 The GSMA IMS Voice Profile defines a minimum mandatory set of functions essential for service continuity as customers migrate to LTE

We need for a range of terminal devices across all price points Faster realization of a global LTE voice landscape enabling global roaming for voice services Reduce risks of market fragmentation for LTE Voice Prepare for add-on voice applications (rich voice) and nonvoice services

840 Networks in 192 countries

Economies of scale 4 billion connections Interoperability - 2G & 3G

Diverse handsets

Roaming

Common Network interface

The Voice challenge for LTE LTE is an all-IP mobile network No support for traditional CS domain voice New Voice and SMS solutions required
CSFB, VoLGA, One Voice

The risk industry fragmentation Poor customer experience No common implementation Economies of scale are lost

GSMA Voice over LTE (VoLTE) VoLTE Task Force Single target solution IMS-based VoLTE Task Force and One Voice collaboration VoLTE adopted One Voice Profile of IMS SIP, 8th January 2010 GSMA VoLTE initiative announced 15th February 2010 One Voice closed, all future work through VoLTE initiative.

Common UNI (User Network Interface) needed Differing implementations would mean Roaming no longer guaranteed Global scale becomes reduced Higher costs for vendors as a result

One Voice protocol profile addresses all these issues

Work initiated in GSMA IREG Packet Working Group

Roaming how it will work


VoLTE will define functional split between Home and Visited networks
3GPP has different options for split GSMA VoLTE will select one option

HPLMN

? Roaming ?
NNI

VoLTE will define a common Roaming NNI VoLTE will define how emergency call for roaming is supported All work to be executed in GSMA IREG RiLTE group

VPLMN

Completing the work GSMA Working Groups with expertise in inter-network charging interoperability with existing systems handover from IMS to CS domain Interconnectivity models GSMA VoLTE will work with industry bodies for overall solution 3GPP, NGMN Alliance, IMTC, GCF, PTCRB

Industry Support

Conclusions Continuing high quality, fully interoperable and globally available voice services is fundamental to operators Require a single technology, common interfaces and open standards VoLTE will develop the necessary specifications to put this in place
