Agenda Definition of IMS– Features & Benefits– Standards Support & Timeline– Architecture– Elements of Core IMS IPv6 requirements for IMS IMS and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) IMS for wire-line carriers Referenceswww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

What is IMS What is IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)? An Architecture for real time multimedia (Voice, Data , Video andMessaging) services using a common IP network. It defines a layeredarchitecture Relies solely on SIP as the primary Session Control Protocol (Someinterfaces may use H.248 etc.) Developed initially by the 3GPP (GSM community) standards group. The core IMS elements use IP only. The original 3GPP specification assumed a wireless access networkand mandated the use of IPv6 alone (because of the number of endpoints that must have IP addresses)www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

What is IMS Later releases relaxed this requirements to include IPv4, though theultimate goal is to still use only IPv6. Other organizations adopted the IMS design with slight modifications.– 3GPP2, European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)’sTelecoms and Internet converged Services & Protocols for AdvancedNetworks (TISPAN) group, Alliance for telecommunications IndustriesSolutions (ATIS), Packet Cable , Open Mobile Alliance to name themajor efforts. TISPAN laid emphasis on the need to support wire-line in addition towireless access. 3GPP releases now are access agnostic i.e. not confined to wirelessaccess alone.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

What is IMS The intelligence is pushed to the end device making it easier to createnew services. Is IMS absolutely necessary ?– No. Most of the services can be offered without IMS.– However using IMS may make the process less expensive, shortensthe deployment time frame.– Much easier to have 3rd party developed applications to be offered.– Next Generation services like Fixed/Mobile convergence are mucheasier with IMS.– Initial outlay will be expensive, especially in the transition period,requiring Media gateways, Signaling gateways etc.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IMS Requirements 3GPP TS 22.228– High-level requirements Negotiable QoS for IP multimedia applications– At session establishment and during session End-to-end QoS for voice– A quality equal to or better than that of mobile CS voice call– Roaming Inter-operator QoS negotiation Use services provided by home- and by serving network Mandatory default set of media types to ensure interoperability– Codec (audio: AMR, video: H.263), header compression– Access independence (GPRS, fixed, LAN)– Support for session-oriented non-3GPP Internet appswww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

Pros Transport, Control & Applications are separated into independent layers Access agnostic. Same application runs over many different infrastructures Deploy real-time applications to be deployed along with ensuring QoS,customized billing, using SIP as the main signaling protocol. Quicker & cheaper to enable new applicationswww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

Cons Complex Service Delivery in IMS Significant Capital outlay for the Service Provider (The expectation is thatthis is offset by the efficiencies & speed to market) Diverse Access technologies: xDSL, Radio Network etc. SIP does not currently support Gaming, Video on Demand, IPTV etc. Interconnection among layers (Network, service ) is not easy to manage Billing is complexwww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

3GPP Time Line Pre IMS Releases– Release 99 March 2000– Release 4 Q2 2001 IMS Releases– Release 5 March-June 2002– Release 6 3Q 2005– Release 7 (Various Specs being released in 2006)www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

Support for IMS from other Bodies 3GPP2 (CDMA community) - 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2– 3GPP defined the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)– 3GPP2 defines almost that same architecture but calls itMultimedia Domain (MMD). OMA - Open Mobile Alliance– Defining services for IMS architecture, e.g. Instant Messaging,Push-to-Talk ETSI – TISPAN Release 1 is an architecture similar to IMS, butspecifically includes support for Non-SIP based applications (e.g.Gaming, P2P applications, IPTV, VoD etc.)www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IMS Support ITU - International Telecommunication Union– Defines many of the protocols used by IMS– H.248 for media control– Q.1912.SIP for SIP – ISUP inter-working (in conjunction withIETF) ATIS - Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions– Addressing end-to-end solutions over wire-line and wireless– Nearing agreement to use 3GPP/3GPP2 IMS Packet cable –Support for IMS from Packet Cable 2.0 onwardswww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IPv6 Support Originally IMS mandated IPv6 only (IMS Release 5)– However all end points & network elements are mostlyIPv4– So requirements relaxed to include IPv4 (Release 6)– Still the goal is for IPv6 only and this is consistent withthe need for end to end operation (Public or private)without NAT Some form of IPv4/IPv6 inter-working will be necessary, ifpossible without compromising end to end security.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IPv6 in IMS Introduction of SIP-based peer-to-peer services is animportant step after current client-server based services. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a service infrastructurebased on the use of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).– 3GPP Release 5 and 6 specifications– 3GPP2 specifications In order to make peer-to-peer services work betweendifferent operators' networks, IPv6 is needed - peer-to-peerservices work well only with public IP addresses.– Small scale IMS deployment / piloting can be started withIPv4.– IPv6 is vital for wider scale, global IMS deployment.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IPv6 in IMS Today’s Internet is predominantly IPv4-based Mobile Multimedia services based on IMS will aim tointeroperate with emerging Internet network services (SIPInternet Clients) Early IMS Systems will support IPv4 Other IMS systems will support dual-stack (IPv6 and IPv4) IMS will need to support IPv6-IPv4 inter-workingwww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IPv6 in IMS The problem seems simpler if one considers inter-workingbetween IPv4-only systems and dual-stack (IPv6 & IPv4)systems– IPv4 is always minimum common denominator, notranslation– Still needs some SIP/SDP features like ALT (andpotentially ICE) for mobiles to offer both IPv6 and IPv4address to peers A more complete IPv6-IPv4 inter-working is needed– Two main approaches being considered for IPv6 IMSmobile to IPv4 IMS mobile communication:– Classical SIP/SDP/IP Header Translation (i.e. a“translator” replacesIPv6 addresses with IPv4 addressesor vice versa)– More end-to-end mechanism to enable securitywww.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

Service Delivery Platform (SDP) The SDP is a software architecture that enables rapiddeployment of services The service provider can plug in various applications into acommon management system. These can be home grown or supplied by a third party.– SDPs exist in some form or other in all Telecomm Services,but are probably dedicated to a specific service.– Next generation SDPs support multiple services andenable convergence– Microsoft’s Connected Services Framework (CSF) An SDPmust be capable of supporting any business model.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

SDP and IMS SDP can be used with non IMS (i.e. non-SIP) architecturesas well. Full fledged IMS and SDP have overlaps. IMS architecture promises the same thing as does an SDPi.e. rapid deployment of new services and support for billingetc. An operator will most likely deploy an SDP before migratingto full IMS.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

SDP and IMS In the interim the SDP will enable the co-existence oftraditional and new packet based services. IMS will reuse the common elements of an SDP like contentdelivery and the associated interfaces, Billing andmanagement functions, inter-working of legacy & new services. Deploying an SDP is just the first step towards a migration toIMS.www.imsexpo.comOctober 11-13, 2006 San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

IMS for Wire-line ProvidersVoice, Data, PrivateLine. FR/ATM1. The first step in the migration will be tocap the growth of the NW for traditionalservices like FR & ATM.VoIP, IP/MPLS buildout, IP Centrex2. Transition those to an IP/MPLS coreusing Pseudo wires by starting the buildout of the IP core3. Start to offer IP Centrex servicesFMC, Minimal IMS,Anywhere Access,More IP centric NWIPTV, MM Services4. Deploy Fixed Mobile Convergence5. IPTV and other Multimedia services willpush the growth of the IP network (Mayneed the deployment of VDSL2 that is IPbased (IP DSLAMs etc.)6.
