Figure A.1.3.3.1-1 shows a call flow for consultative transfer when IMS serving the transfer target provides data channel service.
Step 1.
UE-A calls UE-B, UE-A sends an INVITE request towards the UE-B.
Step 2.
UE-B answers the call, session connection is established between UE-A and UE-B.
Step 3.
UE-B starts transfer process. UE-B sends a REFER message to transfer the call to UE-C.
Step 4-5.
IMS-B sends 202/NOTIFY to UE-B to accept the transfer request, and then sends BYE message to UE-B.
Step 6.
IMS-B sends an INVITE message towards UE-C.
Step 7-9.
IMS-C forwards the INVITE message to UE-C. On reception of 18X/200 message with data channel media from UE-C, IMS-C allocates the data channel media resources on MF for UE-A and UE-C.
Step 10..
IMS-C sends the 18X/200 message to IMS-B.
Step 11-12.
IMS-B transfers the 18X/200 message to reINVITE message and sends it towards UE-A, UE-A responses 200 OK with data channel media answer to IMS-B.
Step 13-14.
IMS-B transfers the 200 OK message to PRACK/ACK message and sends it to IMS-C. IMS-C update data channel media on MF. Then IMS-C sends the PRACK/ACK message to UE-C.
Step 16.
The BDC media connections are established on MF of IMS-C for both UE-A and UE-C.
Step 17.
The ADC media connections are established between UE-A and UE-C.
Step 18.
The session connection is established between UE-A and UE-C.
Figure A.1.3.3.2-1 shows a call flow for consultative transfer when IMS serving the transfer target provides data channel service.
Step 1.
UE-A calls UE-B, UE-A sends an INVITE request towards the UE-B.
Step 2.
UE-B answers the call, session connection is established between UE-A and UE-B.
Step 3-9.
UE-B holds UE-A, and then calls UE-C, session connection is established between UE-B and UE-C. IMS-C establishes BDC connection for UE-B and UE-C. And then IMS-C establishes ADC connections between UE-B and UE-C.
Step 10.
UE-B starts transfer process. UE-B sends a REFER message to transfer the call to UE-C.
Step 11-12.
IMS-B sends 202/NOTIFY to UE-B to accept the transfer request, and then sends BYE message to UE-B.
Step 13-15.
IMS-B sends a re-INVITE request to establish the connection between UE-A and UE-C.
Step 16.
IMS-C updates the DC media connection for UE-A when receiving the updated data channel media from UE-A.
Step 17-19.
The media re-negotiation finished between UE-A and UE-C.
Step 20.
The BDC media connection is established on MF of IMS-C for UE-A.
Step 21.
The ADC media connections are established between UE-A and UE-C.
Step 22.
The session connection is established between UE-A and UE-C.
