IMS procedures as defined in TS 24.173 apply with the SCC AS combining the description of the CS bearer with the service control signalling communicated over the Gm reference point as specified in clause 7.1.
Additionally, the SCC AS may employ an MRF for control of media as needed for execution of the Conferencing.
Figure 7.6.1.2.2.6-1 describes how ICS UE executes the IMS conferencing when using Gm interface. The ICS UE A has a held call with UE B and a held call with UE C before it initiates a conference.
The ICS UE A initiates a REFER message indicating UE B transferring the current session to the conference AS using Gm interface as specified in TS 24.173.
IMS procedures as defined in TS 24.182 apply with the SCC AS combining the description of the CS bearer with the service control signalling communicated over the Gm reference point as specified in clause 7.1.
The CS bearer is used for the media of the customized alerting tone, as well as the media of the regular session. And the CS bearer shall be reused if already established using the Gm reference point as specified in clause 7.3.2.2.1.
If the ICS UE originates an ICS session reusing the existing CS bearer as specified in clause 7.3.2.2.1, the SCC AS shall send the early session media info to the MSC Server/MGCF in the form of regular session media info (i.e. a SDP without early media indication). Then the SCC AS sends the regular session media info of the remote party to the MSC Server/MGCF for the session communication when receiving the 200 OK (acceptance of the session) from the remote party, if the early session or forking model is used for the CAT service.
