0  Introduction  p. 10

IMS based services can be provided with use of PS bearers and CS bearers for the media. When using CS bearer for media transport of IMS sessions, interworking solutions for IMS Centralized Services as specified in TS 23.292 are used. ICS allows IMS sessions using CS bearers to be treated as standard IMS sessions for the purpose of IMS Service Continuity. ICS defines signalling mechanisms between the UE and IMS for transport of information as needed for service continuity when using CS access for media transport.
Both IMS Centralized Services and IMS Service Continuity specify functions which are provided by a SIP application server.

1  Scope  p. 11

The present document specifies the architectural requirements and procedures for delivery of IMS Service Continuity.
TS 23.206 is migrated to this specification.
The scope of the specification includes:
  • Access Transfer related functionality:
    • PS-CS Access Transfer;
    • PS-PS Access Transfer;
    • PS-PS Access Transfer in conjunction with PS-CS Access Transfer;
    • Adding and/or removing media flows to support service;
    • MSC Server assisted mid-call feature;
    • SRVCC session transfer of IMS emergency session;
    • DRVCC session transfer of IMS emergency session.
  • Inter-UE Transfer related functionality:
    • Establishment and release of a Collaborative Session;
    • Addition of media flows to, modification of media flows in, and release of media flows from a Collaborative Session;
    • Transfer of media flows from one UE to another;
    • Transfer of the Collaborative Session Control with or without transfer of media flows;
    • Transfer of all media flows to a target UE without establishing a Collaborative Session;
    • Session discovery;
    • Inter-UE Transfer initiated by the target UE or by the SCC AS;
    • Replication of media flows by means of Inter-UE Transfer procedures;
    • Authorization and other aspects to support Inter-UE Transfer across multiple IMS subscriptions.
The solution is restricted to service continuity using IMS procedures, i.e. mobility mechanisms on the IP-CAN level are not within the scope of this specification.

Controllee UE:
A UE that supports media flows for a Collaborative Session and may request IUT Media Control Related Procedures but is subordinate to the Controller UE for authorization of these procedures.
Controller UE:
The UE that controls a Collaborative Session and whose service profile determines the services on the remote leg. The Controller UE may also support media flows for a Collaborative Session and may request IUT Media Control Related Procedures.
Correlation MSISDN:
An MSISDN used for correlation of sessions. See TS 23.003 for more information.
Dual Radio:
This refers to the situation where the UE is capable to transmit/receive on two different radio access technologies simultaneously.
eCall:
See TS 22.101.
Emergency Session Transfer Number for SRVCC:
A number used in the session transfer procedure for emergency calls, pointing toward the serving (visited if roaming) IMS EATF which handles the IMS emergency session transfer from PS to CS access.
Emergency Session Transfer Number for DRVCC:
A number used by the UE to request the EATF AS to perform Session Transfer from PS to CS access. The E-STN-DR is dynamically assigned by EATF during IMS emergency session procedure with WLAN.
Hosting SCC AS:
The SCC AS that manages the dialog with the remote party for a Collaborative Session.
IMS Service Continuity:
A service of the IMS which supports the use of Session Transfer mechanisms to maintain service continuity in the event of terminal mobility and/or mobility between terminals for the case when such events are not hidden from the IMS session layer and thus service continuity could not otherwise be maintained.
Inter-UE Transfer:
Transfer at the IMS-level of some or all of the media flows and/or service control across a set of having IMS subscriptions under the same operator.
IP Multimedia Routing Number (IMRN):
An IP Multimedia Routeing Number (IMRN) is a routable number that points to an SCC AS in the IM CN subsystem. See TS 23.003 for more information.
IUT Media Control Related Procedures:
The control operations on the media flows of the Collaborative Session which involve multiple UEs or need Controller UE's authorization within the Collaborative Session, e.g. ability to transfer/add/replicate media flows, to remove/modify media flows on a different UE.
Local Operating Environment Information:
This is a set of parameters, which can include access network(s) conditions and other parameters implementation specific, which describe the local environment in which the UE is operating.
Minimum Set of Data (MSD):
See TS 22.101.
MSC Server assisted mid-call feature:
Functionality of the MSC Server, the SCC AS and the UE, enabling PS - CS Access Transfer for UEs not using ICS capabilities, while preserving the provision of mid-call services (inactive sessions or sessions using the Conference service).
NG-RAN:
See TS 23.216.
Pre-alerting state:
This is the state where the UE can receive early media in the early dialogue phase.
Remote Leg:
This is the call control leg between the SCC AS and the remote party from the subscriber's perspective; also see TS 23.292 for the definition of Remote Leg for IMS sessions which use the CS media.
Service Control Signalling Path:
As defined in TS 23.292.
Session Replication:
Replication, at the IMS-level, of a session ongoing in a source UE at a target UE. When the new, independent, session is established at the target UE, the state of the original media is replicated e.g. same playback state; same used media etc. is replicated.
Session State Information:
Information of IMS session state sent by the SCC AS for enablement of PS-CS and CS-PS Access Transfer of IMS multimedia-sessions when ICS UE capabilities can not be used.
Session Transfer:
Transfer at the IMS-level of one or more of the session signalling paths and/or associated media flow paths of an ongoing IMS session while maintaining service continuity. Session Transfer incorporates Access Transfer and / or Inter-UE Transfer.
Session Transfer Identifier (STI):
An identifier used by the UE to request the SCC AS to perform Session Transfer. The STI is either statically configured on the UE or dynamically assigned. See TS 23.003 for more information.
Session Transfer Identifier for reverse SRVCC (STI-rSR):
A dynamic identifier used by the UE to request the IMS network to perform Session Transfer for CS to PS SRVCC (reverse SRVCC). The STI-rSR is used by the network to correlate two access legs, and is unique for each access transfer control function within an ATCF.
Session Transfer Number (STN):
A number used by the UE to request the SCC AS to perform Session Transfer from PS to CS access. The STN is configured and stored on the UE and can be updated with current address during session establishment. See TS 23.003 for more information.
Session Transfer Number for SRVCC (STN-SR):
A STN used for SRVCC procedures as specified in TS 23.216. STN-SR is a subscription information provided to HSS for each subscriber if SRVCC service is allowed by hPLMN. STN-SR is a routing number indicating the SCC-AS or the ATCF if SRVCC enhanced with ATCF or if 5G-SRVCC is used. See TS 23.003 for more information.
