3 Where does IMS come from? In Wireline there has been a long term move towards a Voice over Packet (VoIP) replacement for the PSTN Drivers have always been to reduce OPEX in fixed line networks by optimising bandwidth usage, and replacing outdated TDM switching fabric –Compressed speech into less than 64kbps channels (G Standards) –Further optimisation using VAD, Silence Suppression, ATM AAL2 or IP multiplexing yields significant reduction in core network bandwidth requirements. Drivers in 3GPP for Wireless are more service related –IMS is born out of a need for ‘feature rich’ services –Bandwidth requirements and their impact on capacity for the Radio interface (GSM, GPRS, 3G). IMS provides the final piece in the business case for the NGN

6 What is IMS? An Industry Standard Service Architecture (SA) and Core Network (CN) architecture An IP Multimedia Services Architecture Defined with Open Standards from 3GPP and ETSI Based on IETF Protocols (SIP, RTP, RTSP, COPS, DIAMETER, etc.) Designed for both Wireless and Wireline Networks and for Fixed and Mobile Convergence (FMC) A Solution for Service Transparency Capable of Interworking with PSTN (i.e. legacy IN-based services) CSCF – Call Session Control Function HSS – Home Subscriber Server Access & Transport Plane Core Network Session Control Plane Service Architecture Applications/Services Plane HSS CSCF Access Network Other Networks Web Portal ApplicationServers Session Control CentralizedDatabases Media Control & Gateways MediaServer
