10、(04/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsibl
11、e 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 Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T
12、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 which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative ba
13、sis 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 this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandator
14、y 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 language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The u
15、se 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 this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no
16、 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 of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property,
17、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 the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

22、nd-to-end quality of service for voice over 4G mobile networks 1 Scope This Recommendation works on the assumption that Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is a so-called managed voice service, in opposition to over the top (OTT) applications without use of session initiation protocol/IP multimedia subsystem (SI
23、P/IMS) signalling and with no prioritized traffic. Video-telephony over LTE (ViLTE) is another service which will be addressed in a specific Recommendation. This Recommendation describes the key aspects impacting end-to-end performance of managed voice applications over LTE networks, for the most co
24、mmon call cases (IMS tromboning is not considered, nor single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC), nor mobility under wireless local access network), and how they can be properly assessed using current elements of knowledge. Relevant quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used to manage the voice servi
25、ce, such as robust header compression (RoHC), transmission time interval (TTI) bundling, semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), discontinuous transmission (DTX) and reception (DRX), service domain selection (SDS) or SIP preconditions, are not considered in this Recommendation as a mandatory part of a VoL
26、TE service, but their impact on end-to-end perceived quality will be taken into account. Analysis of the impact of VoLTE on quality of supplementary services (such as data streaming) or on device features (battery life) is outside the scope of this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Re
