0  Introduction  p. 5

The response to emergency situations (e.g., floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks) depends on the communication capabilities of public networks. In most cases, emergency responders use private radio systems to aid in the logistics of providing critically needed restoration services. However, certain government and emergency management officials and other authorised users have to rely on public network services when the communication capability of the serving network may be impaired, for example due to congestion or partial network infrastructure outages, perhaps due to a direct or indirect result of the emergency situation.
Multimedia Priority Service, supported by the 3GPP system set of services and features, is one element creating the ability to deliver calls or complete sessions of a high priority nature from mobile to mobile networks, mobile to fixed networks, and fixed to mobile networks.

4  General description  p. 7

MPS is applicable in EPS and 5GS systems.
MPS provides priority treatment to increase the probability of an authorized Service User's Voice, Video, Data and Messaging communication being successful. Some form of priority treatment is applied to the MPS invocation and session establishment, and continues to be applied until the MPS session is released. The priority treatment may be applied before the invocation if a greater probability of success in receiving, recognizing, and processing the invocation is needed.
MPS allows qualified and authorized users to obtain priority access to the next available radio channel on a priority basis before other PLMN users, during situations when PLMN congestion is blocking session establishment attempts. In addition, MPS supports priority sessions on an "end-to-end" priority basis.
MPS is intended to be utilised for Voice, Video, Messaging and Data bearer services, including the Data Transport Service, in the Packet-switched (PS) domain and the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). It also involves priority transitioning of MPS service (e.g., Voice) to the CS domain when the network does not support the requested service in the PS domain. MPS sessions for Voice, Video, Data, and Messaging are based on providing priority treatment to the corresponding commercial services offered to the public.
MPS is also intended to be utilized for IoT communications through machine interactions that may not directly involve a human Service User.
MPS includes network functions that fall into the following broad categories:
Service Invocation:
The process to recognize and identify a request for an MPS session. An MPS Service Provider network recognizes an MPS invocation based on the presence of an MPS-unique identifier entered by the originating Service User in the service request received by the network from the UE, or based on the subscription profile of the originating UE, or as a regional/operator option the subscription profile of the terminating UE.
Authorization:
The process to verify that a Service User is authorized for MPS. This includes capabilities to verify authorization to receive priority treatment in the radio access network and to access the MPS application service (MPS Voice, Video, Data, and Messaging).
End-to-End Priority Treatment:
The process of providing priority treatment in all parts of the path, from one endpoint to the other endpoint(s). End-to-end priority treatment includes priority treatment by all MPS capable networks involved in the MPS session path, the origination network and the termination network as well as any transit networks in between.
Invocation-to-Release Priority Treatment:
The process of providing priority treatment to all phases of a session, from invocation until release, including all steps in between.
The combination of End-to-End Priority Treatment and Invocation-to-Release Priority Treatment includes both pre- and post-authorization treatment and includes the following aspects:
  1. Priority processing of the Service User's MPS invocation,
  2. Admission control and allocation of network resources (including bearer resources) in origination, termination, and transit networks, including handovers,
  3. Transport of signaling and media packets,
  4. Priority processing within EPS, 5GS and CN, and
  5. Processing of the Service Users release of an MPS service session.
Network Interconnection and Protocol Interworking:
A Service User's MPS invocation and session establishment will involve transport and processing, and the end-to-end signaling and media path may traverse multiple MPS Service Provider networks. These end-to-end cases include, but are not limited to:
  1. Voice, video, data and messaging services over EPS or 5GS, including signaling for call/session establishment and media;
  2. EPS/5GS interworking with the CS domain, including a) calls originated in the CS domain and terminated in EPS/5GS, and b) calls from EPS/5GS to the CS domain;
  3. CS Fallback from EPS, for one or both ends of call, with maintenance of existing PS domain MPS services, either in EPS or in a legacy system, e.g., the GPRS Core; and
  4. Access to MPS data, video, and messaging services not under IMS control.

5  High level requirements  p. 8

5.1  General  p. 8

The system shall provide preferential treatment based on the subscription for MPS for:
  • An authorized Service User using a UE with an MPS subscription,
  • An authorized Service User using a UE that does not have an MPS subscription, and
  • An authorized IoT device with an MPS subscription.
Upon invocation of MPS, the system shall provide preferential treatment for access and core network resources associated with the session (i.e., signalling and media bearer related resources within a domain and across domains), including, when applicable, priority treatment towards an enterprise network supporting MPS.
A Service User is assigned a priority level by a regional/national authority i.e., agency authorised to issue priority levels. Upon MPS invocation the calling Service User's priority level is used to identify the priority to be used for the session being established.
Pre-emption of active sessions shall be subject to regional/national regulatory requirements.
Subject to regional/national regulatory policy, a PLMN should have the capability to retain public access as a fundamental function. Therefore, MPS traffic volumes should be limited (e.g. not to exceed a regional/national specified percentage of any concentrated network resource, such as eNodeB capacity), so as not to compromise this function.
Up

5.2  Priority session treatment in originating network  p. 9

When an MPS session is originated by a Service User, the session shall receive priority treatment (priority access to signalling and media bearer resources for voice, video, data, and messaging service) in the originating PLMN based on the originating Service User priority information (i.e., priority indication and priority level).
When an MPS session is requested by a Service User and the originating network supporting session establishment cannot assign the necessary resources to the MPS session, the MPS session request shall be:
  • Queued,
  • Processed for the next available resource in accordance with the calling Service User's priority level and session initiation time.
The network shall support the capability to inform the calling Service User about the status of the MPS session (e.g., tones or signalling messages can be used to indicate that the session request has been queued).
If the queued MPS session times out, then normal session processing applies.
Up

5.3  Priority session progression  p. 9

For an MPS session, a Service User shall receive priority session treatment/progression through the PLMN(s). In case the MPS session traverses or terminates in other networks (e.g., the PSTN), the network providing priority session treatment/progression shall support the capability to indicate to the other network that this is an MPS session.

5.4  Priority session treatment in terminating network  p. 9

When a terminating network receives an incoming MPS session establishment attempt, the MPS session shall receive priority treatment (priority access to signalling and media bearer resources for voice, video, data, and messaging service) in the terminating PLMN, based on the originating Service User priority information. When requested, this includes MPS treatment towards an enterprise network supporting MPS.
As an operator option, the terminating network may invoke priority treatment for an incoming session from a non-MPS subscriber to an MPS subscriber (see clause 4).
When the terminating network supporting session establishment cannot assign the necessary resources to the MPS session, the MPS session request shall be:
  • Queued,
  • Processed for the next available resource in accordance with the Service User's priority level and session arrival time.
The network shall support the capability to inform the calling Service User about the status of the MPS session (e.g., tones or signalling messages can be used to indicate that the session request has been queued).
If the queued MPS session times out, then normal session processing applies.
Up

5.4a  Priority Data Bearer Service |R10|  p. 10

The Priority Data Bearer Service provides MPS priority for data and video services not under IMS control.
When a Service User invokes Priority Data Bearer Service for transport of any data packets to and from that Service User, the network should give priority in admission/upgrade of the Priority Data Bearer(s) and in packet data scheduling in the event of congestion (for new sessions and upgrade to existing sessions), subject to regional/national regulatory policy. Specifically:
  • A Priority Data Bearer service session shall be given priority for admission/upgrade over non-Priority Data Bearer sessions during times of congestion;
  • Data packets belonging to a Priority Data Bearer service shall not be dropped before data packets belonging to a non-Priority Data Bearer service session, when the network is experiencing congestion, subject to the limitation imposed by public access. Priority Data Bearer session QoS, as required for the type of service invoked (e.g., packet delay), should be maintained throughout the activity of the data session.
MPS for Data Transport Service (DTS) is a generic priority packet transport service that applies independently of the specific data application being used. In the case of EPS, MPS for DTS enables the prioritization of all traffic on the default bearer upon request. It may also apply to other bearers based on operator policy and regulatory rules. In the case of 5GS, MPS for DTS enables the prioritization of all traffic on the QoS Flow associated with the default QoS rule upon request. It may also apply to other QoS flows based on operator policy and regulatory rules. MPS for DTS is a specific example of Priority Data Bearer Service. MPS for DTS service specific requirements are described in clause 9.3.
Up

5.5  Priority levels  p. 10

The Service User shall be assigned one of "n" user priority levels. The priority levels are defined with 1 being the highest priority level and "n" being the lowest priority level.
The 3GPP network shall be able to support at least 5 user priority levels.
Assignment of priority levels is a matter of regional/national and operator policy.
In case of interconnecting networks that have different priority levels, mappings between priority levels should be established.
Up

5.6  Invocation on demand  p. 10

MPS priority shall be invoked only when requested by the Service User. However, certain priority treatments are provided prior to invocation as specified in clause 5.13.
MPS is applied when idle resources required for an origination session request are not available.
If idle resources are available when MPS is requested, the request shall be allowed to proceed as normal, but marked as an MPS request.
An indication of an MPS session should be propagated towards the terminating network regardless of the availability of resources in the originating network.
Up

5.7  Multimedia priority service code/identifier  p. 10

MPS shall be requested by including an MPS code/identifier in the session origination request, or optionally, by using an MPS input string (e.g., an MPS public user identity).

5.8  Roaming  p. 11

MPS shall be supported when the Service User is roaming and the visited network and home network support MPS, and roaming agreements are in place for MPS.

5.8.1  Roaming within the home country |R17|  p. 11

The system shall support MPS when a UE with an MPS subscription is roaming within the home country and the visited and home network support MPS, and roaming agreements are in place for MPS.

5.8.2  Roaming outside the home country |R17|  p. 11

The system shall support MPS when a UE with an MPS subscription is roaming outside of the home country and the visited and home network support MPS, and roaming agreements are in place for MPS.
Up

5.9  Handover  p. 11

MPS shall be supported during and after the handover (i.e., sessions shall continue to get priority treatment in the network during and after the handover). Resource allocation for the session during handover shall receive priority treatment (priority access to signalling and media bearer resources for voice, video, and data) in the target cell based on the Service User priority information (i.e., priority indication and priority level).
For handover of an MPS voice call to CS, only the active, or if all calls are on hold, only the most recently active voice call shall be transferred and receive the priority treatment in CS. Any remaining non-MPS voice sessions in PS may be released. Any remaining MPS sessions, e.g., MPS data, in PS shall not be released.
Up

5.10  Interworking with CS domain  p. 11

5.10.1  Mobile origination in the CS domain → MPS mobile termination  p. 11

For a Priority Service voice call, as described in TR 22.952 and as specified in TS 22.067, TS 23.067, TS 24.067, originated by a Service User in the CS Domain, MPS shall support priority Mobile Termination of the session in the IMS. The priority information received from the CS domain shall be mapped and used in the IMS accordingly.
Up

5.10.2  MPS mobile origination → mobile termination to the CS domain  p. 11

For an MPS voice session originated by a Service User in the IMS, MPS shall support priority delivery of the voice session to the serving CS Domain. The calling Service User priority level shall be sent to the CS Domain.

5.10.3  CS Fallback from LTE |R14|  p. 12

Circuit Switched (CS) fallback from LTE needs to be given priority in the LTE system to support MPS voice in cells where voice is not supported in the PS domain. Priority treatment applies to both mobile originated calls and mobile terminated calls.
When an MPS Service User in LTE originates a voice call intended to be supported in the CS domain, and when configured by the operator, the LTE system shall provide priority treatment in the signalling and resource allocations needed to support priority CS fallback.
When a terminating LTE network receives indication of an incoming call to the CS domain, the LTE system shall provide priority treatment in the signalling and resource allocations needed to support priority CS fallback.
Up

5.10a  Fallback in 5GS |R18|  p. 12

MPS voice calls need to be provided priority treatment following a voice fallback in 5GS when configured by the operator to fallback to another RAN type and/or core network type to support voice. The priority treatment applies to both mobile originated calls and mobile terminated calls. Non-voice PDU sessions that have priority in the 5GS prior to a voice fallback need to be given priority after the voice fallback. The priority treatment applies when the MPS non-voice PDU sessions move with the MPS voice PDU session and when MPS non-voice PDU sessions do not move with the MPS voice PDU session.
When an MPS Service User in a 5GS originates an MPS voice call and when configured by the operator for voice fallback to another RAN type and/or core network type, the system shall provide priority treatment in the signalling and resource allocations to support the priority voice fallback.
When a 5GS receives indication of a terminating MPS voice call and when configured by the operator for voice fallback to another RAN type and/or core network type, the system shall provide priority treatment in the signalling and resource allocations to support the priority voice fallback.
When the 5GS initiates a voice fallback for an MPS call, the system shall provide priority treatment in the signalling and resource allocations needed to support non-voice priority PDU sessions, if any exist at the time of the voice fallback. The priority treatment shall apply whether the MPS non-voice PDU session moves with the MPS voice PDU session or not.
Up

5.11  Network Management Functions |R11|  p. 12

Based on regional/national requirements and network operator policy, an MPS session shall be exempted from network management controls up to the point where further exemption would cause network instability. Congestion controls, overload controls, load balancing, and load re-balancing shall not adversely impact MPS.

5.12  Policy Control |R14|  p. 12

The 3GPP network shall be able to make and enforce policy decisions regarding relative treatment of MPS application services (Voice, Video, Data, and Messaging) for admission control subject to regional/national regulatory requirements and operator policy.
The 3GPP network shall be able to make and enforce policy decisions regarding relative treatment of MPS application services traffic depending on the media type subject to regional/national regulatory requirements and operator policy (e.g., based on operator policy or regulation, Voice may have higher priority than Video or Data).
Up

5.13  Priority before service invocation |R14|  p. 12

5.13.1  Overview of priority before service invocation  p. 12

Providing priority treatment to MPS-subscribed UEs during attachment/registration for radio access and network connectivity before the MPS application service session invocation requests improves the probability of an MPS session request being successful. This involves providing priority treatment for the signalling during the UE attachment for radio access and network connectivity based on a subscription profile. Prior to accessing subscription related information in the network, subscription related information stored in the UE is used, e.g., membership in the special access class required to be reserved for MPS use as per TS 22.011, or the special Access Identity used for MPS as per TS 22.261. Without such priority treatment, a Service User's UE might fail to gain radio access network and CN connectivity which in turn means that there is no access to the MPS application services (Voice, Video, and Data). Priority treatment before MPS session request increases the probability of successful MPS session establishment and any associated process for the Service User authorization (e.g., credential collection).
Up

5.13.2  Requirement for priority before service invocation  p. 13

The 3GPP network shall be able to provide priority treatment to an MPS-subscribed UE before the MPS application service invocation (e.g., priority treatment for the default and IMS signalling bearers establishment based on a subscription profile).
The 3GPP network shall be able to provide priority requests for access and attachment to the 3GPP network from an MPS-subscribed UE, including those procedures applied prior to and during the access of subscription related information (e.g., based on the UE membership in a special access class for MPS, or when allowed to operate with Access Identity 1 as per TS 22.261).
Up

5.14  Recovery/Restoration |R14|  p. 13

The 3GPP system shall allow operational measures to expedite service recovery and restoration (i.e., service restoration after failure/unavailability). Should a disruption occur, MPS shall be re-provisioned, repaired, or restored to required service levels on a priority basis subject to regional/national regulatory requirements and operator policy.

5.15  Quality of Service (QoS) |R14|  p. 13

In certain cases, the QoS characteristics (e.g., packet delay and packet loss) for an MPS session may be the same as the underlying communication service (e.g., voice, video, data or messaging) used to support the MPS session, with the MPS session being provided priority treatment subject to regional/national regulatory and operator policies. In other cases, there may be a need to request specific QoS characteristics for the MPS session (e.g., specific data communications as described in clause 5.4a, 9.3).
The 3GPP network shall allow selection and/or configuration of QoS rule(s) appropriate for MPS Voice, Video, Data and Messaging.
The 3GPP network shall allow enforcement of QoS rule(s) for MPS Voice, Video, Data, and Messaging.
The system shall support means to retain MPS sessions invoked for Voice, Video, Data and Messaging during transient network degradation conditions and recovery (e.g., during short radio link interruption), and re-verify any recovered MPS session afterwards.
Up

5.16  Inter-network aspects |R17|  p. 13

The system shall allow MPS priorities to be signalled across interconnected networks.
The system shall support means to identify that an incoming voice, video, data or messaging service session from another network is an MPS session and to handle it with priority.
The system shall support measures to verify policy and admit an incoming MPS session for Voice, Video, Data, or Messaging service received from another network with priority.
Up

5.17  Interactions with supplementary services |R18|  p. 14

Interactions with a supplementary service might occur during set-up or after establishment of an MPS call or session. A supplementary service is a service which modifies or supplements a basic telecommunication service (see definition in TR 21.905).
The system shall provide MPS priority for a supplementary service associated with an MPS call or session in progress when the supplementary service is associated with the Service User authorized for MPS.
When a supplementary service (e.g., Communication Diversion) results in an established authorized MPS call or session being redirected or extended, MPS priority shall be provided for the redirected or extended call or session.
When a supplementary service (e.g., Conference/Three-Party) is used to join an MPS priority call or session (e.g., to add parties to the established MPS call/session), MPS priority shall be retained on that leg when joined to the supplementary service.
Up

5.18  3GPP and non-3GPP accesses |R19|  p. 14

When a UE is using 3GPP RAT(s) as well as non-3GPP WLAN access technology, the 3GPP system will select the most appropriate 3GPP RAT or non-3GPP WLAN access technology for one or more services active on the UE. This subclause covers MPS handling when 3GPP RAT(s) and non-3GPP WLAN access technology are being used for one or more services active on a UE.
The system shall support MPS based on operator policy when the UE is using E-UTRA and non-3GPP WLAN and connected to the same EPC.
The system shall support MPS based on operator policy when the UE is using 3GPP RAT(s) and non-3GPP WLAN and connected to the same 5GC.
Up

6  MMI aspects  p. 14

In the case when MPS invocation is based on the presence of an MPS-specific service code entered by the originating Service User, this specific service code must be defined for the 3GPP network to recognize such an invocation.
The 3GPP network supporting on-demand invocation of MPS shall recognize a service code indicating a request for MPS.
The choice of an MPS-specific service code is a regional/national and operator matter.
Up

7  Security and privacy  p. 14

7.1  General |R14|  p. 14

Operators support and use a wide range of security tools and capabilities to protect the 3GPP system and all supported application services. It is important that appropriate measures be taken to ensure that the use of these security capabilities does not negatively impact MPS.
Use of security mechanisms (e.g., intrusion detection / prevention systems, deep packet inspection, and encryption) shall not interfere with priority treatment mechanisms supporting authorized MPS usage.

7.2  Access Control |R14|  p. 15

Access to MPS shall be determined based on the subscriber's profile. A level of authorisation in addition to authorisation to use the IMS is required.
Unauthorized access to MPS shall be prevented.

7.3  Integrity |R14|  p. 15

The 3GPP system shall be capable of providing integrity protection to MPS signalling and media bearers for voice, video, data, and messaging service.

7.4  Confidentiality/Privacy |R14|  p. 15

The 3GPP system shall be capable of providing confidentiality protection to MPS signalling and media bearers for voice, video, and data as appropriate.
The 3GPP system shall be capable of maintaining anonymity of the originating Service User to the terminating party, if requested by the originating Service User.

7.5  Use of Encryption |R14|  p. 15

If encryption is used on MPS communication, priority information shall be accessible to all network elements which have to understand and process that priority information.

7.6  Attestation of Authorized MPS Priority |R17|  p. 15

A 3GPP system receiving a session with MPS priority from another network needs to verify that the session is authorized for MPS priority.
The originating 3GPP system shall provide a means to securely attest to MPS authorization for the session.
The 3GPP system shall provide a means to securely verify the attestation of MPS authorization received from the originating network for the session.

8  Charging aspects  p. 15

A network supporting MPS shall be capable of recording the following charging information, in addition to non-MPS information:
  • MPS invocation attempt and successful session set-up,
  • Session bearers (originations and/or terminations) on which MPS was used to gain access to resources,
  • Recording of MPS information, e.g., priority level.
The system shall associate MPS related charging events with the MPS subscription.

9  Service specific aspects |R17|  p. 16

9.1  MPS for MMTEL voice  p. 16

9.1.1  General  p. 16

MPS for MMTEL voice provides the Service User with priority voice communication sessions in periods of severe network congestion during which normal commercial voice service is degraded.
The system shall support:
  • MPS for MMTEL voice and voice conference calls for an authorized Service User using a UE with a subscription for MPS,
  • MPS for MMTEL voice and voice conference calls for an authorized Service User using a UE that does not have an MPS subscription, and
  • MPS for all participants of an authorized MMTEL voice conference call.

The system shall support means for a Service User using a UE that does not have a subscription for MPS to initiate MPS for an MMTEL voice call or MMTEL voice conference call.
A Service User who is the host of a MMTEL voice conference can invoke MPS to upgrade the entire MMTEL voice conference call to obtain priority treatment for all participants on the MMTEL voice conference call, e.g., when the normal MMTEL voice conference call cannot be established, or to upgrade an already established normal MMTEL conference call to MPS.
The system shall support means for a Service User to:
  • initiate MPS for all participants of an MMTEL voice conference call, or
  • request upgrade of all participants of an ongoing MMTEL voice conference call to MPS.
The system shall provide MPS for a late participant joining an MPS for MMTEL voice conference after MPS was activated for all participants.

The system shall support:
  • MPS for DTS for an authorized Service User using a UE with a subscription for MPS, and
  • MPS for DTS for an authorized Service User using a UE that does not have an MPS subscription.
MPS for DTS may be used to by a Service User to obtain priority access (e.g., Virtual Private Network (VPN) access) to an enterprise network (e.g., a private corporate network or private Government Agency network to download data and/or access enterprise applications such as email, text/chat/presence, voice and video).
The system shall support for an authorised Service User, an end-to-end MPS for DTS connection between the MPS subscribed UE and an associated enterprise network supporting MPS on demand based on operator policy and when agreements are in place for MPS.
