IMS the Platform for Convergence

IMS is at the heart of Next Generation Convergent Networks Mobile SIP-based IMS (IP based Multimedia Subsystem) is the core of both 3GPP (GSM evolved) and 3GPP2 (CDMA evolved) networks this is not simply a European view Tomorrows entire multimedia mobile world will be IMS based SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based IMS is IP end-to-end
Applications and services can be supported seamlessly across all networks

SIP is also at the heart of the Internet

SIP
12

What is IMS?
IP Multimedia Subsystem is defined by 3GPP
IMS standards define a network domain dedicated to the control and integration of multimedia services. IMS is defined by 3GPP from Release 5 onwards

IMS builds on IETF protocols

Based upon SIP, SDP, COPs and Diameter protocols 3GPP have enhanced these IETF protocols for mobility

IMS in short
Open-systems architecture that supports a range of IPbased services over the PS domain, employing both wireless and fixed access technologies

13

What does IMS provide?

Services and Control
Adds call session control to the packet network (GPRS) enables peer-to-peer real-time services - such as voice, video - over a packet-switched domain

Mixed Multimedia
Ability to pick and mix various multimedia flows in single or multiple sessions Can handle real-time voice, video, data

Connectivity Independence
Provides access to IP based services independent of the connectivity network: mobile (3GPPs UMTS, 3GPP2s CDMA2000) and fixed networks (TISPANs NGN)

What is being done?

ITU-T FGNGN has set the Framework for NGN 3GPP members are working in the IETF to ensure that the underlying protocols fit with 3GPP (mobile service) requirements 3GPP has developed IMS, it is now stable, and is being enhanced OMA is defining services based on the 3GPP IMS service platform ETSI TISPAN is busy defining the NGN network based on 3GPP IMS 3GPP and ETSI TISPAN are meeting jointly to adapt 3GPP IMS to fixed access networks ETSI TISPAN is feeding back to the ITU-T and creating a set of implementable NGN Rel-1 Specifications

ETSI - TISPAN
What is ETSI? ETSI is an independent, not for profit organization, whose mission is to produce telecommunications and ICT standards for the global market place. What is ETSI TC TISPAN? TISPAN in an ETSI technical committee, dealing with fixed networks and migration from circuit switched networks to packet-based networks TISPAN focuses on all aspects of standardization for present and future converged networks including NGN TISPAN produces detailed implementable deliverables that cover NGN services, architectures, protocols, QoS, security and mobility aspects within fixed networks

TISPAN_NGN Genesis
A strong industry demand
For new generation Multimedia services over xDSL access For preparing replacement of soon becoming obsolescent PSTN

For a first Release of specifications in 2005

Giving main standards directions With realistic and implementable solutions

ETSI TISPAN has developed an architecture consisting of a number of subsystems:

Access network attachment Subsystem, Resource and admission control sub-system Maximizing Fixed and Mobile convergence, through adoption of 3G/UMTS IMS component for support of conversational services

TISPAN collaborating with 3GPP to accommodate Wireline access network requirements by IMS
A workshop held with 3GPP in Washington end of March 05 To coordinate the IMS evolution and resolve issues

TISPAN contributing to ITU-T on a global standards

ITU-T CSI, SG4, SG 11, SG 13, SG 19, as well as other SDOs
22

NGN Services Requirements

TISPAN_NGN supports legacy POTS services (PSTN/ISDN Emulation)
Emulates the PSTN/ISDN Telephony service over an IP infrastructure This will enable use of the existing ISDN Supplementary services

TISPAN_NGN R1 defines Voice Service (Simulation)

Similar - but not identical - to existing PSTN service Including important supplementary services Based on IMS capabilities for basic voice call TISPAN extensions for simulation will to be included in Rel-7 of 3GPP IMS

Standard capabilities with the aim of making the services applicable for other IMS networks than TISPAN IMS, e.g. mobile networks to facilitate seamless fixed mobile convergence for Telephony over IP services

Key points to take home

IMS is stable and clearly specified by 3GPP in Rel-6 IMS is the platform of choice for Mobile to Fixed convergence Standardisation involves close coordination between different bodies such as IETF, 3GPP, TISPAN, OMA, ITU-T, etc. Robust and open global standards are essential to the long term success of IMS and NGN Doing Nothing is NOT a sensible option Better to have planned convergence than unplanned collision If you want to influence the standardization process, the time is to do it is
