ITU-T Y.2255 (01/2018) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Teleco

13、mmunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization As

14、sembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology w

15、hich fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with

16、 this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory l

17、anguage such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of thi

18、s Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date

19、 of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult

27、transfer of data between two or more peer-(N)-entities. This association binds the peer-(N)-entities together with the (N1)-entities in the next lower layer. 3.1.2 multi-connection ITU-T Y.2251: The functionality which provides capability to the user equipment (UE) and network to maintain more than

28、one access network connection simultaneously. NOTE 1 All connections are coordinated to provide service to higher layer entities. NOTE 2 In a multi-connection communications at least one UE is required to be a multi-connection UE. 3.1.3 multi-connection user equipment (MUE) ITU-T Y.2027: A user equi

29、pment which can support two or more network connections simultaneously under the control of a network enhanced for multi-connection capability. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following term: 3.2.1 voice and video call continuity (VCC): When the MUE moves bet

30、ween different access types, the ongoing voice and video call is not impacted and continues to serve the user. The user is not aware of the access transfer. 2 Rec.

37、ng to the wireless environment and policy seamlessly. Voice or video call continuity over LTE, Wi-Fi and 2G/3G can enhance user experience of voice and video calling, especially in the switching scenarios. The switching scenarios are described as follows: Scenario I (LTE Wi-Fi) Multi-connection user

38、 equipment (MUE) establishes a voice or video call session over LTE. While the session is going on, MUE moves to an environment with weak LTE coverage but strong Wi-Fi coverage. In this scenario, the voice or video call session can handover from the LTE connection to a Wi-Fi connection seamlessly to

39、 keep call continuity. Scenario II (Wi-Fi LTE) MUE establishes a voice or video call session over Wi-Fi. While the session is going on, MUE moves to an environment with weak Wi-Fi coverage but strong LTE coverage. In this scenario, the voice or video call session can handover from the Wi-Fi connecti

40、on to an LTE connection seamlessly to keep call continuity. Scenario III (LTE 2G/3G) MUE establishes a voice or video call session over LTE. While the session is going on, MUE moves to an environment with weak LTE coverage but strong 2G/3G coverage. In this scenario, the voice or video call session

41、can handover from the LTE connection to a 2G/3G connection seamlessly to keep call continuity. Scenario IV (2G/3G LTE) MUE establishes a voice or video call session over 2G/3G. While the session is going on, MUE moves to an environment with weak 2G/3G coverage but strong LTE coverage. In this scenar

42、io, the voice or video call session can handover from the 2G/3G connection to an LTE connection seamlessly to keep call continuity. Scenario V (LTE Wi-Fi, 2G/3G) MUE establishes a voice or video call session over LTE. While the session is going on, MUE moves to an environment with weak LTE coverage

43、but strong Wi-Fi and 2G/3G coverage. In this 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.2255 (01/2018) scenario, the voice or video call session can handover from the LTE connection to a Wi-Fi or 2G/3G connection according to the policy seamlessly to keep call continuity. Scenario VI (inter MUE transfer) The subscriber signed

44、for multi-device service. MUE establishes a voice or video call session over Wi-Fi/LTE. While the session is going on, the subscriber can transfer the call session to other Wi-Fi/LTE devices such as a PAD or watch to keep call continuity. 6.2 Requirements The requirements of voice and video call con

45、tinuity over LTE, Wi-Fi and 2G/3G are based on the requirements described in ITU-T Y.2251, in addition to those described in clauses 6.2.1, 6.2.2 and 6.2.3. 6.2.1 Voice and video call continuity When the MUE moves out of the coverage of an access type under which the ongoing session was initiated an

46、d into the coverage of another access type (see scenarios described in clause 6.1), the ongoing session must be maintained. 6.2.2 Handover policy The handover between different access types can be triggered by the following means: The network instructs the MUE to perform handover; The MUE automatica

47、lly decides to perform handover; The user instructs the MUE to perform handover. When a handover conflict happens, i.e., when more than one target accesses are available, the MUE shall select only one of the target accesses to perform handover in accordance with the handover policy. It shall be poss

48、ible for the network to control the handover policy. The handover policy can take into account factors such as: Whether the coverage strength exceeds a specific threshold; The type of ongoing session, e.g., voice call, video call; Whether the MUE is in a roaming case. 6.2.3 Terminating access domain

49、 selection The network which serves an MUE must support terminating access domain selection (T-ADS) functionality. T-ADS directs an incoming call to an MUE via circuit switched (CS) domain or via IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). T-ADS must be able to take into account the following factors: The radio access type the MUE is currently using, i.e., 2G/3G, LTE or Wi-Fi; The network capability, e.g., whether voice service over the current radio access type is supported by the network; The MU
