14、pe The present document provides an analysis of the TIPHON Release 4 Network Architecture and Reference Points 1 in comparing to the UMTS IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture with a view to identifying where, if necessary, the TIPHON architecture needs to be extended to ensure harmonization be

15、tween the two. Clause 4 provides a comparison of the TIPHON and UMTS architectural concepts. Clause 5 identifies UMTS functional groupings and identifies where the equivalent TIPHON functionality is found in the TIPHON architecture. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, thro

24、Voice over IP 4 Comparison of architectural concepts 4.1 TIPHON architecture The TIPHON architecture is a generic architecture from which technology specific architectures can be derived. It describes the network architecture and shows reference configurations to support specific services and servic

25、e capabilities. 4.2 UMTS architecture The UMTS architecture is a technology specific architecture specified for an access network based on the air interface and a core network that provides access to services, such as telephony and messaging. The UMTS architecture is split into both circuit and pack

26、et switched domains. The circuit switched domain provides support for traditional ISDN-based telephony services (including supplementary services), whereas the packet switched domain provides support for access to data networks in general and the Internet in particular to enable the provision of new

27、 value added services including data and voice communications (including VoIP). 5 Configuration of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) NOTE: The text in this clause describing the PLMN is extracted from TS 123 002 2 which remains the normative source. 5.1 Basic configuration The basic configuration

28、of a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) supporting GPRS and the interconnection to the PSTN/ISDN and PDN is presented in figure 1. This configuration presents signalling and user traffic interfaces which can be found in a PLMN. Specific implementations may be different: for example some functions may

29、 be collected in the same equipment and then some interfaces may become internal interfaces. ETSI ETSI TS 102 284 V1.1.1 (2003-11) 7 In the basic configuration presented in figure 1, all the functions are considered implemented in different equipments. Therefore, all the interfaces within PLMN are e

30、xternal. Interfaces A and Abis are defined in the TS 148 xxx-series. Interfaces Iu, Iur and Iub are defined in the TS 125 4xx-series. Interfaces B, C, D, E, F and G need the support of the Mobile Application Part of the signalling system No. 7 to exchange the data necessary to provide the mobile ser

31、vice. No protocols for the H-interface and for the I-interface are standardized. All the GPRS-specific interfaces (G- series) are defined in the TS 123 xxx-series and TS 124 xxx-series. Interfaces Mc, Nb, and Nc are defined in TS 123 205 4 and in the TS 129 xxx-series. From this configuration, all t

32、he possible PLMN organizations can be deduced. In the case when some functions are contained in the same equipment, the relevant interfaces become internal to that equipment.

NOTE 1: The figure shows direct interconnections between the entities. The actual links may

34、 be provided by an underlying network (e.g. SS7 or IP): this needs further studies. NOTE 2: When the MSC and the SGSN are integrated in a single physical entity, this entity is called UMTS MSC (UMSC). NOTE 3: A (G)MSC server and associated CS-MGW can be implemented as a single node: the (G)MSC. NOTE

35、 4: The Gn interface (between two SGSNs) is also part of the reference architecture, but is not shown for layout purposes only.

37、PSTN PSTN Figure 2: Configuration of the UMTS IP Multimedia Subsystem 5.2.1 Call Session Control Function (CSCF) The CSCF can act as Proxy CSCF (P-CSCF), Serving CSCF (S-CSCF) or Interrogating CSCF (I-CSCF). The P-CSCF is the first contact point for the UE within the IM subsystem (IMS); the S-CSCF a

38、ctually handles the session states in the network; the I-CSCF is mainly the contact point within an operators network for all IMS connections destined to a subscriber of that network operator, or a roaming subscriber currently located within that network operators service area. Further definitions o

39、f the P-, S- and I-CSCF are provided in TS 123 228 7. NOTE: The CSCF is equivalent to the TIPHON CC entity.

41、rvices SupportgsmSCFCAMEL Services SupportFigure 3: HSS logical functions Mobility Management: - This function supports the user mobility through CS Domain, PS Domain and IM CN subsystem. Call and/or session establishment support: - The HSS supports the call and/or session establishment procedures i

42、n CS Domain, PS Domain and IM CN subsystem. For terminating traffic, it provides information on which call and/or session control entity currently hosts the user. User security information generation: - The HSS generates user authentication, integrity and ciphering data for the CS and PS Domains and

43、 for the IM CN subsystem. User security support. - The HSS supports the authentication procedures to access CS Domain, PS Domain and IM CN subsystem services by storing the generated data for authentication, integrity and ciphering and by providing these data to the appropriate entity in the CN (i.e

44、. MSC/VLR, SGSN or CSCF). User identification handling: - The HSS provides the appropriate relations among all the identifiers uniquely determining the user in the system: CS Domain, PS Domain and IM CN subsystem (e.g. IMSI and MSISDNs for CS Domain; IMSI, MSISDNs and IP addresses for PS Domain, pri

45、vate identity and public identities for IM CN subsystem). Access authorization: - The HSS authorizes the user for mobile access when requested by the MSC/VLR, SGSN or CSCF, by checking that the user is allowed to roam to that visited network. ETSI ETSI TS 102 284 V1.1.1 (2003-11) 10 Service authoriz

46、ation support: - The HSS provides basic authorization for MT call/session establishment and service invocation. Besides, the HSS updates the appropriate serving entities (i.e. MSC/VLR, SGSN, CSCF) with the relevant information related to the services to be provided to the user. Service Provisioning

47、Support: - The HSS provides access to the service profile data for use within the CS Domain, PS Domain and/or IM CN subsystem. Application Services and CAMEL Services Support. - The HSS communicates with the SIP Application Server and the OSA-SCS to support Application Services in the IM CN subsyste

48、m. It communicates with the IM-SSF to support the CAMEL Services related to the IM CN subsystem. It communicates with the gsmSCF to support CAMEL Services in the CS Domain and PS Domain. NOTE: The HSS is equivalent to the TIPHON registrar entity. 5.2.3 Media Gateway Control Function (MGCF) The MGCF:

49、 Controls the parts of the call state that pertain to connection control for media channels in an IMS-MGW. Communicates with CSCF. Selects the CSCF depending on the routing number for incoming calls from legacy networks. Performs protocol conversion between ISUP and the IM subsystem call control protocols. Out of band information assumed to be received in MGCF and may be forwarded to CSCF/IMS-MGW. NOTE: The MGCF is equivalent to the combination of elements in the TIPHON BC and CC entities. 5.2.4 IP Multimedia Subsystem - Medi
