This clause provides the description of the supplementary services applicable to IMS Multimedia Telephony service.
The behaviour of IMS supplementary services, as perceived by the user, shall be consistent with the behaviour perceived when using the equivalent supplementary services on PSTN/ ISDN and CS mobile networks.
For each supplementary service, the following is provided:
a short service definition;
a description of the normal operation with successful outcome.
And when applicable also:
a description of exceptional operation or unsuccessful outcome;
descriptions on interaction with other supplementary services applicable to IMS Multimedia Telephony service;
consideration for interworking with the CS mobile and fixed services.
In general, if a service is not mentioned within the interaction clause then there is no impact.
The support of some of these services may be mandatory or optional depending on specific country/regional regulation.
For CEPT members see Annex C.
Some services are not applicable to UE accessing IMS via 3GPP accesses. See Annex D.
The OIP service provides the terminating party with the Identity of the originating party.
The requirements for Presentation of session originating party identity shall be handled as described in TS 22.228.
For users that subscribe to both OIP and eCNAM, originating party identity and eCNAM identity data shall be delivered to the terminating party.
The terminating service provider shall extract the originating party's telephone number from the originating party identity (e.g., from the tel-URI) to use in its query to retrieve eCNAM identity data from a trusted data source.
If the originating party's telephone number cannot be obtained, eCNAM shall not be retrieved. Instead, the terminating service provider shall indicate the unavailability of the eCNAM identity data to the terminating party.
The interface between terminating service provider and the trusted data source shall be private and secure.
The conditions for exchange of data are governed by regional regulation and through service provider agreement.
When a communication has been forwarded and the forwarded-to party has been provided with the OIP service, the forwarded-to party shall receive the identity information of the original originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
When a communication has been forwarded and the forwarded-to party has been provided with the OIP service, the forwarded-to party shall receive the identity information of the original originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
When a communication has been forwarded and the forwarded-to party has been provided with the OIP service, the forwarded-to party shall receive the identity information of the original originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
When a communication has been forwarded and the forwarded-to party has been provided with the OIP service, the forwarded-to party shall receive the identity information of the original originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
When a communication has been deflected and the deflected-to party has been provided with the OIP service, the deflected-to party shall receive the identity information of the original originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
When a communication has been forwarded and the forwarded-to party has been provided with the OIP service, the forwarded-to party shall receive the identity information of the original originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
If a party has the OIP service active and is notified that an incoming communication is waiting, then this party shall receive the identity information of the originating party, if this originating party has not subscribed to or invoked the OIR service.
The IMS Multimedia Telephony service shall support the interoperability of the OIP service with mobile CS and PSTN/ISDN Supplementary Service CLIP and vice versa. The scope of this interworking may result in a limited service capability (only E.164 numbers can be used in the PSTN/ISDN).
The Originating Identification Restriction (OIR) service enables the originating party to withhold the presentation of its asserted identity information to the terminating party.
The requirements for withholding the originators identity shall be as described in TS 22.228. Those requirements also allow certain terminating party to override the restriction (override capability).
The requirements for interactions between presenting and withholding the originating party's eCNAM identity data shall adhere to the rules described in TS 22.228 for the presentation of session originator identity.
If the originating party subscribed to or invokes OIR, eCNAM identity information shall not be delivered, including data elements that the originating party had consented to release.
When the OIR service has been invoked, the originating party's identity information shall not be presented to the forwarded-to party unless the forwarded-to party has an override capability.
An originating party's restriction requirements from the original communication shall be used in order to restrict the presentation of that party's identity to any party in a transferred communication.
The IMS Multimedia Telephony service shall support the interoperability of OIR service with the mobile CS and the PSTN/ISDN Supplementary Service CLIR and vice versa. The scope of this interworking may result in a limited service capability. The Originating Identity Restriction information shall be conveyed from IMS to a mobile CS or a PSTN/ISDN and vice-versa. The network to which the called/terminating party is connected to is responsible to handle this service.
In case of limited interoperability, the restriction, OIR/CLIR shall have precedence.
The TIP service provides the originating party with the asserted identity of the terminating party. The requirements for the presentation of the terminating identity shall be as described in TS 22.228.
If forwarding party B chooses to restrict the presentation of the forwarded-to party C's identity, the originating party A shall not receive the terminating party C's identity irrespective of whether the terminating party C has TIR activated or not.
The IMS Multimedia Telephony service shall support the interoperability of the TIP services with mobile CS and PSTN/ISDN Supplementary Service COLP and vice versa. The scope of this interworking may result in a limited service capability
The Terminating Identification Restriction (TIR) enables the terminating party to withhold presentation of its asserted identity information to the originating party.
The requirements for withholding the terminating party's identity are described in TS 22.228. Those requirements also allow certain originating parties to override the restriction (override capability).
This service description is based on the service description described in [E-20].
The IMS Multimedia Telephony service shall support the interoperability of the TIR services with mobile CS and PSTN/ISDN Supplementary Services and vice versa. The scope of this interworking may result in a limited service capability.
In the case the target network does not support TIR service, the TIP information shall not be forwarded.
The MCID service enables an incoming communication to be identified as malicious and registered.
This service may be available to a user only after subscription. Once the user has indicated to the network that the communication is malicious, the IMS shall register at least the following information:
Terminating Identity Information;
Originator Identity Information;
Local Time and Date of the invocation in the network serving the terminating entity;
The information shall not be available to the terminating entity nor the originating entity. The information shall be under the control of the network operator.
The user may identify the communication as malicious during the alerting phase, during an ongoing communication, or for a limited period after the communication has ceased.
The MCID service can be invoked for a diverted communication. In addition to the normal operation of the MCID service, the identity of the first diverting party shall be registered and, as a network option, the last diverting party can be registered.
The transferring party cannot invoke the malicious communication identification service on a communication after transfer of that communication has been successfully invoked.
If after a transfer has been completed, the transferred-to party successfully invokes the malicious communication identification service, then the network shall register the identities of all parties involved.
The conference controller cannot invoke the malicious call identification IMS supplementary service for participants within the conference.
If a participant invokes the malicious call identification IMS supplementary service, only information about the connection to the conference controller shall be registered. No information about the other participants shall be registered.
The MCID service shall interoperate for all communications from a PSTN/ISDN to an IMS Network supporting IMS Multimedia Telephony service and vice-versa. The registered information shall be stored in the invoking party's network and may also be stored in the malicious party's network.
The Anonymous Communications Rejection (ACR) service allows the terminating party to reject incoming communications from originating parties that have restricted their identity presentation.
Anonymous communications rejection provides the capability for network, on behalf of the user, to reject incoming sessions from users who have restricted the presentation of their originating identity, i.e. the asserted originating identity is marked "presentation restricted".
This service description is based on the service description described in [E-14].
Optional feature
In case of ACR service,
a allow list should contain certified public identities or identity ranges of users, from which incoming anonymous communications are allowed whatever ACR activation state,
a block list should contain certified public identities or identity ranges of users, from which incoming anonymous communications are not allowed whatever ACR activation state.
If the terminating party has activated the ACR service, then the OIR service causes the execution of the ACR service in accordance with the procedures in clause 8.2.6.1.
If the terminating party has the override capability according to the OIR service, then the ACR service shall not apply.
If the diverted-to user has activated the ACR service, then the ACR service shall take precedence over the communication diversion supplementary service i.e. the communication shall be rejected according to the ACR service.
If the forwarding party has activated the ACR service, then the ACR service shall take precedence over the communication forwarding unconditional service i.e. the communication shall be rejected according to the ACR service.
If the forwarding party has activated the ACR service, then the ACR service shall take precedence over the communication forwarding busy service i.e. the communication shall be rejected according to the ACR service.
If the forwarding party has activated the ACR service, then the ACR service shall take precedence over the communication forwarding on not logged in service i.e. the communication shall be rejected according to the ACR service.
If the forwarding party has activated the ACR service, then the ACR service shall take precedence over the communication forwarding on subscriber not reachable service i.e. the communication shall be rejected according to the ACR service.
If the terminating party has activated the ACR service, then the ACR service shall take precedence over the Communication Waiting service. The ACR service can be activated while a communication is waiting without changing the state of the waiting communication session.
Assuming the originating party connects to the terminating party and the terminating party activates the ACR service (or has activated the ACR service), two cases are possible:
The ACR service was activated by the terminating party before the originating party originates a communication:
No impact, i.e. no IMS supplementary service shall affect the operation of the other IMS supplementary service.
The ACR service is activated by the terminating party after the originating party has activated the completion of communications to busy subscriber service on the terminating party:
If the terminating party activates the ACR service after the originating party has activated the completion of communications to busy subscriber service on the terminating party, then the communication resulting from the completion of communications to busy subscriber service shall be rejected if the originating party has restricted its identity due to the OIR service.
The IMS Multimedia Telephony service shall support the interoperability of the ACR services with PSTN/ISDN Supplementary Services and vice versa. The scope of this interworking may result in a limited service capability.
