1  Scope p. 18

This document specifies the common functional architecture, procedures and information flows needed to support mission critical services including the common services core architecture.
The corresponding service requirements are defined in TS 22.179, TS 22.280, TS 22.281 and TS 22.282.
The present document is applicable primarily to mission critical services using E-UTRAN access based on the EPC architecture defined in TS 23.401. Certain MC service functions such as dispatch and administrative functions could also be supported via non-3GPP access networks but no additional functionality is specified to support non-3GPP access.
The common functional architecture to support mission critical services can be used for public safety applications and also for general commercial applications e.g. utility companies and railways.

4  Introductionp. 23

A common functional architecture to support MC services (i.e., MCPTT defined in TS 23.379, MCVideo defined in TS 23.281, MCData defined in TS 23.282) including common application plane and signalling plane entities is specified in this document. It also deals with the functional architecture of the MC gateway UE to enable access to the MC system from MC clients residing on non-3GPP devices. A subset of these devices can host an MC client specified by 3GPP.
Each MC service supports several types of communications amongst the users (e.g. group call, private call). There are several common functions and entities (e.g. group, configuration, identity) which are used by the MC services.
The common functional architecture to support MC services utilises aspects of the IMS architecture defined in TS 23.228, the Proximity-based Services (ProSe) architecture defined in TS 23.303, the Group Communication System Enablers for LTE (GCSE_LTE) architecture defined in TS 23.468 and the PS-PS access transfer procedures defined in TS 23.237.
The MC service UE primarily obtains access to a MC service via E-UTRAN, using the EPS architecture defined in TS 23.401. Certain MC service functions such as dispatch and administrative functions can be supported using either MC service UEs in E-UTRAN or using MC service UEs via non-3GPP access networks. External applications usage of MC services can be enabled via E-UTRAN or non-3GPP access networks.
