Content for TS 29.235 Word version: 18.0.0

1 Scope p. 10

The present document specifies the interworking between SIP-I based circuit-switched core network, as specified in TS 23.231 and TS 29.231, with out-of-band transcoder control related procedures in TS 23.153, and:

an external SIP-I based signalling network compliant to ITU-T Recommendation Q.1912.5 [6],
an ISUP (ITU-T Recommendations Q.761 to Q.764 [7]) based network such as an ISUP based 3GPP CS Domain or a PSTN,
a BICC (ITU-T Recommendations Q.1902.1 to Q.1902.6 [8]) based network such as an BICC based 3GPP CS Domain as specified in TS 23.205 and TS 29.205,
an IP Multimedia Subsystem, as specified in TS 23.228 and TS 24.229.
