11、 Wireline Based Service Profile Joyce has wireline communications service from BTL, and wireless communications service from Cellular, Inc. She is in the mall, and sees a BTL kiosk where a new dual mode wireless/wireline combined service offering is being promoted. After discussing various aspects o

12、f the service (e.g., coverage, costs, handset issues), she subscribes to the service. o Her service profile is based on her current wireline service profile with BT. o She gets a new dual mode handset with Cellular and WLAN connection capability. o She gets a new ISIM for her handset. NOTE - Assumin

13、g the appropriate business and technical arrangements exist between BTL and Cellular, Inc., her wireless/wireline combined service profile could be based on either of her existing service profiles. 10.1.2 Wireless Based Service Profile Joyce has wireline communications service from BTL, and wireless

14、 communications service from Cellular, Inc. She is in the mall, and sees a Cellular, Inc. kiosk where a new dual mode wireless/wireline combined service offering is being promoted. After discussing various aspects of the service (e.g., coverage, costs, handset issues), she signs up for the service o

15、 Her service profile is based on her current wireless service profile with Cellular, Inc. o She gets a new dual mode handset with Cellular and WLAN connection capability. o She gets a new ISIM for her handset.

16、Cellular, Inc., her wireless/wireline combined service profile could be based on either of her existing service profiles. ATIS-1000016 18 10.1.3 Legacy Wireless & Wireline Personal Numbers Joyce is a socially active citizen with a large pool of friends and acquaintances with whom she frequently comm

17、unicates. She has a well-established wireline phone number (assigned by BTL) that many of her friends have used to stay in touch with her. Additionally, she also has a cellular phone service from Cellular, Inc., and a large number of friends only know how to reach her by calling her cell phone numbe

18、r. Its important to Joyce that friends are able to reach her by calling either of the contact numbers by which she is already known. Joyce has noticed that, through some sort of business relationship, Cellular, Inc. and BTL are now offering a dual mode service where she can get a handset that will w

19、ork both on her WLAN at home, and through the cellular telephony access network while she is outside shopping or driving. When Joyce got the service, she was able to keep both of her old phone numbers. Joyce is shopping in a local store. Her dual mode handset rings. Its a friend, Lee, who needs to a

20、sk Joyce a question. o Lee dialed her handset and was able to reach her in the supermarket (over the cellular network). After Joyce ends her call with Lee, the handset rings again.

22、 This time its Joyces sister again, who needs to give Joyce some important information. o Her sister dialed Joyces legacy wireline number and this time reached Joyce on her dual mode handset over the WLAN in her home. Joyces Experience: She can be reached at either of two phone numbers, over differe

23、nt access networks. 10.2 Two Numbers, Two Service Profiles User scenarios involving two service profiles are outside the scope of the initial version of this document, and are for further study. 11 VOICE EMERGENCY CALL 11.1 Kathy Kathy enjoys the extended communication capability provided by her Voi

24、ce Call Continuity service which is marketed by BTL as a dual mode service that enables continuous seamless voice continuity ATIS-1000016 19 across their WLAN and Cellular access networks. She appreciates having wireless voice call continuity throughout her house, from the home theater in the baseme

25、nt, to the kitchen, and the living room upstairs. She expects emergency calls to work under similar conditions as voice calls, although she realizes that there are no guarantees that calls will always work. One day, her friend comes to visit. During the visit, they both go down to the basement. Sudd

26、enly, Kathys friend faints. Kathy has her dual mode handset with her, and immediately dials 911. Kathy gets connected with a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The PSAP responder asks Kathy to go find some smelling salts (ammonia). While talking to the PSAP responder, she runs upstairs, gets the

27、smelling salts, and returns to the basement. The responder instructs Kathy on how to use smelling salts. Kathys friend responds and is revived. Kathy thanks the responder, and ends the call. 11.1.1 PSAP Call Control One day, her friend comes to visit. During the visit, they both go down to the basem

28、ent. Suddenly, Kathys friend faints. Kathy has her dual mode handset with her, and immediately dials 911. Kathy gets connected with a PSAP. The PSAP responder asks Kathy to go find some smelling salts. While about to go upstairs to pickup smelling salts, Kathy accidentally hangs up, but runs upstair

29、s with the phone anyway. Once upstairs, Kathy goes off-hook and asks the responder how to use the smelling salts. She thanks the responder and ends the call. 11.1.2 PSAP Ring Back Capability One day, her friend comes to visit. During the visit, they both go down to the basement. Suddenly, Kathys fri

30、end faints. Kathy has her dual mode handset with her, and immediately dials 911. Kathy gets connected with a PSAP. The PSAP responder asks Kathy to go find some smelling salts. While about to go upstairs to pickup smelling salts, she accidentally hangs up. But, she runs upstairs with the phone any w

31、ay. The PSAP responder hears Kathy hang-up and calls her back (via ring back capability), and is connected to Kathy via the Cellular network The PSAP responder tells Kathy how to use the smelling salts and disconnects the call. 11.1.3 Emergency Call Handover One day, her friend comes to visit. Durin

32、g the visit, they both go down to the basement. ATIS-1000016 20 Suddenly, Kathys friend faints. Kathy has her dual mode handset with her, and immediately dials 911. Kathy gets connected with a PSAP. The PSAP responder asks Kathy to go find some smelling salts. At this time, there is a power failure,

33、 and Kathy runs upstairs to continue her conversation with the PSAP responder. Kathys Experience: Voice call continuity is provided for emergency calls, employing the PSAP capabilities in a similar manner as that for normal voice calls. 12 VOICE SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES From the users perspective, voi

34、ce call supplementary service continuity between access networks should be consistently provided in the same manner as for voice calls. Supplementary services should work across access networks in the same manner as voice calls. This section provides use cases illustrating supplementary service cont

35、inuity for WLAN to Cellular access network cases. The same functionality is applicable in the Cellular to WLAN access direction, though such cases are not additionally articulated. 12.1 Call on Hold Kathy is in the local coffee shop. o She has Cellular and WLAN coverage. o An indicator on her handse
