Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 1 3GPP2 Workshop MMD IMS Architecture June 28, 2005 Anne Y. Lee IMS Systems Engineering Lucent Technologies (630)

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 2 Agenda:  Operator MMD/IMS – Deployment Challenges  Proposal to Address Challenges  Standards Implications

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 3 MMD/IMS standards definition has: –Many functional entities –Many interfaces Some operators may find that for deployment of their MMD/IMS solution, they will need: 1) Aggregation of functional entities into small number of platforms : –Allow for easy mixing & matching of MMD/IMS “boxes” from multiple vendors –Minimizes operations costs 2) Regional allocation/assignment of IMS servers: –Optimizes performance for “roamers” –Reduces bearer & signalling paths Operator MMD / IMS Deployment Challenges

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 4 (1)Solution: Aggregation  Currently, no industry convention for aggregation –Currently, every vendor is developing a different combination of MMD/IMS functional entities on their platform(s).  Advantages of an industry convention for product aggregation of MMD/IMS functional entities –Reduces interoperability testing to manageable number or scenarios –Reduces operations costs by: Minimizing number of platforms to maintain Minimizing number of interfaces to monitor  Next slides show proposal for one view of aggregation

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 5 Example Proposal for Aggregation: Functional Clusters  ACP (application control point): Includes session control and management, data management for service execution, interworking with other MMD, enterprise, and legacy networks. –(P-CSCF, S-CSCF, BGCF, SCIM+, SBC/I-CSCF, Enterprise Telephony Server)  BSCP (bearer services control point): Includes resource management and mobility mgmt functions, charging functions, filtering and security functions –(BCP+, Security, Filtering, Charging, S-MM)  Security center (SC) – Includes management of multi-layer authentication and encryption for user services –(KDC, security services) –All security keys in SC  Services Data Management Center (SDMC) – Includes routing, accounting. –(SDB, AA Server)

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 7 (2) Solution: Regional Allocation of IMS Servers  Develop industry guidelines for implementing procedures to support assignment of IMS session servers in region of subscriber access –Current deployment thinking assumes assignment of IMS session servers to those in a fixed geographic location per subscriber regardless of location of subscriber. –Regional assignment does NOT radically change IMS model; need to ensure that vendors implement the standards options that allow for regional allocation  Regional Allocation Benefits: –Reduces signalling path distance minimizing NATs/ALGs, routers, firewalls traversed. Minimizes potential signalling delay. –Reduces bearer path distances for applications with a real-time bearer component such as for conferencing: MRF. (not addressed in standards) –Can easily support access of local services (e.g. local applications referring to local businesses such as restaurants) –Intended to still allow access to subscribed-to applications regardless of location of subscriber

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 10 Multi-Vendor environment will require vendors developing to common set of requirements Aggregation Impacts – SC 3GPP GAA / Liberty Alliance equivalent need standardization completion in 3GPP2 – ACP New registration procedures or interface between SDMC and SC if move all security keys in SC – BSCP New functionality and/or framework; may need standardization if more than re-packaging existing standardized capabilities. Regional Allocation Impacts – SDMC Adopt SLF from 3GPP or standardize full duplication of all subscriber data in all SDMCs. – ACP Enhancements for procedures to support regional allocation Standards Impacts & Approach

Lucent Technologies – Proprietary Use pursuant to company instruction 11 Conclusion / Summary / Next Steps  Aggregation –Reduces interoperability testing to manageable number or scenarios –Reduces operations costs by: Minimizing number of platforms to maintain Minimizing number of interfaces to monitor  Regional Allocation –Reduces signalling path distance minimizing NATs/ALGs, routers, firewalls traversed. Minimizes potential signalling delay. –Reduces bearer path distances for applications with a bearer component such as for conferencing: MRF. (not addressed in standards) –Can easily support access of local services (e.g. local applications referring to local businesses such as restaurants) –Intended to still allow access to subscribed-to applications regardless of location of subscriber  Both deployment challenges can be solved independently  CDMA2000 industry should consider program to ensure multi-vendor interoperability of MMD/IMS “boxes”.
