In this clause, only the procedures and information flows which are different from that over EPS are captured. The MC service specific procedures and information flows over 5GS remains the same as specified in TS 23.280, TS 23.379, TS 23.281, TS 23.282 and TS 23.283 if not specially described in this clause.
Session management, QoS model and QoS policy control are defined in TS 23.501, TS 23.502 and TS 23.503.
The information elements associated to the resource management procedures in this clause are derived from the respective communication setup procedures in TS 23.379, TS 23.281 and TS 23.282.
The procedure defined in this clause specifies how communication resources are requested from 5GS at session establishment. If concurrent sessions are used the MC service server may utilize the capability of resource sharing specified in TS 23.503. The exchange of the QoS characteristics of the required resources takes place exclusively by means of direct interaction between SIP core and PCF using N5 reference point or Rx reference point and encompass media type, bandwidth, priority, application identifier and resource sharing information.
Establishment, modification or release of communication resources are managed according to TS 23.503. The procedure is generic to any type of session establishment that requires communication resources.
Procedures in Figure 7.2.2-1 show the signalling procedures for the requesting resource at session establishment.
Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in TS 23.503) initiated from SIP core local inbound/outbound proxy using direct interaction between SIP core and PCF.
The procedure defined in this clause specifies how communication resources are requested from 5GS at session establishment from the MC service server. The required QoS characteristics for resources are sent directly to the PCF via the N5 reference point or Rx reference point from the MC service server. Alternatively, QoS characteristics for resources can be exchanged indirectly utilizing N33 reference point between MC service server and NEF. QoS characteristic information encompasses media type, bandwidth, priority, application identifier, resource sharing information and network slice information. If concurrent sessions are used, the MC service server may utilize the capability of resource sharing specified in TS 23.503.
For the request of communication resources by the MC service server via N5 reference point or Rx reference point, or N33 reference point, the MC service client provides to the MC service server the corresponding communication resource details (e.g. IP addresses and ports) of the MC service client and the corresponding media anchoring points.
This procedure is generic to any type of session establishment with the MC service server requesting network resources.
The MC service client sends a session establishment request. The request includes, apart from the SDP offer, access resource details, e.g. IP addresses and ports of the MC service client related to the media session.
The MC service client acknowledges the session establishment to the MC service server. This message contains the final negotiated media parameters, e.g. IP addresses and ports related to the media anchoring points received in the SDP answer from the SIP core.
To trigger resources allocation, the MC service server sends a request for media resources to 5GS. For direct interaction, the resource allocation request is exchanged between MC service server and 5GS PCF using N5 reference point or Rx reference point. For indirect interaction, the resource allocation request is exchanged between MC service server and 5GS NEF using N33 reference point. The respective procedures are defined in TS 23.503).
Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in TS 23.503) initiated from MC service server either directly via PCF or indirectly via NEF.
