This Annex provides information about the static data needed for configuration of MC services encompassing the following category:
Initial MC service UE configuration data (see subclause A.2).
Each parameter that can be configured online shall only be configured through one online reference point. Each parameter that can be configured offline shall only be configured through one offline reference point. The most recent configuration data made available to the MC service UE shall always overwrite previous configuration data, irrespective of whether the configuration data was provided via the online or offline mechanism.
This Annex describes how TS 23.237 mechanisms for IMS service continuity can be used to provide service continuity between on-network MC service and UE-to-network relay MC service.
The details of MBS interfaces are specified in clause 4.7. The interaction between SIP core and 5GC is specified in TS 23.228. The procedure for service continuity from on-network MCPTT service to UE-to-network relay MCPTT service is described in Annex B of TS 23.280.
As illustrated in Figure B.1-1:
Initially UE-1 has a direct connection to the network via 5GS (on-network MCPTT service). It is registered with the SIP core and is engaged in a SIP session with the MCPTT Application Server (solid lines SIP-1 and MC[service]-1 in Figure B.1-1).
When UE-1 realises that it is losing connection to the network, or after the connection to the network has been lost, UE-1 discovers a UE-to-network relay (UE-R) and establishes a PC5 connection with UE-R. UE-1 registers with the SIP core over the target access leg and enters UE-to-network relay MC service by transferring the media streams over the target leg (dashed lines SIP-1 and MC[service]-1 in Figure B.1-1).
The SIP session is anchored at a Service Centralisation and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS) before and after the handover, as described in TS 23.237.
