1 Scope p. 8

This document specifies the architecture enhancements for Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) between the following access systems for voice calls that are anchored in the IMS:

from E-UTRAN to 3GPP2 1xCS;
from E-UTRAN to UTRAN/GERAN;
from UTRAN (HSPA) to UTRAN/GERAN.
from UTRAN/GERAN to E-UTRAN.
from GERAN to UTRAN (HSPA).
from NG-RAN to UTRAN.

This document will not describe 3GPP2 functional entities. However, interfaces between both 3GPP and 3GPP2 functional entities are described in this specification.

SRVCC from E-UTRAN access to 3GPP2 1xCS is covered in this specification, including the handling of IMS emergency call continuity. Handling of non-voice component and SRVCC from 3GPP2 1xCS to E-UTRAN direction is not specified in this release.

SRVCC from NG-RAN/E-UTRAN/UTRAN (HSPA) access and 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN CS accesses for voice calls that are anchored in the IMS, as well as the coordination between the SRVCC for voice call and the handover of non-voice PS bearers are covered in this specification. SRVCC with IMS emergency call continuity from E-UTRAN/UTRAN (HSPA) to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN CS accesses and from NG-RAN to UTRAN for voice calls is covered in this specification. SRVCC with eCall over IMS continuity from E-UTRAN/UTRAN (HSPA) to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN CS accesses is covered in this specification. SRVCC with priority handling from E-UTRAN to 3GPP UTRAN/GERAN CS accesses for voice or voice and video calls is also covered in this specification. The handover of non-voice PS bearer from E-UTRAN is specified by the procedures defined in TS 23.401, TS 23.060, TS 25.413 and TS 43.129. The handover of non-voice PS bearer from UTRAN (HSPA) is specified by the procedures defined in TS 23.060, TS 25.413 and TS 43.129. The handover of non-voice PS bearer from NG-RAN to UTRAN is not supported.

This document specifies the architecture enhancements for Single Radio Video Call Continuity (vSRVCC) from E-UTRAN to UTRAN-CS access for Video Calls that are anchored in the IMS.

3GPP SRVCC UE:

A 3GPP SRVCC UE is a UE enhanced for IMS Service Continuity with the additional UE capabilities described in this specification for SRVCC NG-RAN to 3GPP UTRAN and / or between E-UTRAN and 3GPP UTRAN and / or between E-UTRAN and 3GPP GERAN and / or between UTRAN (HSPA) and 3GPP UTRAN and 3GPP GERAN.

Session Transfer Number for SRVCC (STN-SR):

see TS 23.237.

Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC):

Voice call continuity between IMS over PS access and CS access for calls that are anchored in IMS when the UE is capable of transmitting/receiving on only one of those access networks at a given time.
