2 Summary  Suggestions for Architecture Assumptions  Rationale for Allowing Options  Mobility Architecture  Possible Evolution Paths  Possible Standards Impacts

3 Suggestions for Architecture Assumptions  In X , Airvana proposed a SIP-based Femto device solution that utilizes IMS  All IP/SIP/MMD based beyond the Femto device  We agree that this is worthwhile, but we would also like to see the standard support Femto devices that utilize an IOS V5.x connection to the network  Proposal for architecture option: IOS V5.x IP-based interface from the Femto device to an MSCe in the operator’s network.

4 Architecture Assumptions (SIP-Based) - 1 Femto Device (UE) Home/Residential Network Internet Edge/Access Network MMD Core Network P-CSCF S-CSCF I-CSCF VCC AS MGCF MGW HSS Security Gateway (PDIF) HA SIP signaling/ RTP bearer 3G1x circuit voice call

5 Architecture Assumptions (SIP-Based) - 2 Femto Device (P-CSCF) Home/Residential Network Internet MMD Core Network I-CSCF S-CSCF VCC AS MGCF MGW HSS HA SIP signaling/ RTP bearer 3G1x circuit voice call

6 Architecture Assumptions (IOS-Based) - 1 Femto Device Home/Residential Network Internet Edge/Access Network Core Network MSCe Security Gateway (PDIF) MGW IOS V5.x signaling/ RTP bearer 3G1x circuit voice call

7 Architecture Assumptions (IOS-Based) - 2 Femto Device Home/Residential Network Internet Edge/Access Network MMD Core Network AGCF like border function (IOS- SIP) IOS V5.x signaling/ RTP bearer 3G1x circuit voice call

8 Architecture Assumptions (Rationale)  Operators who have not yet invested in MMD or have not yet achieved feature parity on MMD with MSC/WIN-based solutions will benefit.  Leverages legacy service investment  Decouples completely (allows for freedom from legacy services) the services and environments provided over pure IP handsets and legacy circuit based systems.  Very little delta standards development is necessary other than specifying the specifics of the IP transport options of each interface (may already be in place).  Allows for core network evolution to MMD with little to no impact to IOS or deployed Femtos  Can be standardized relatively quickly  Allows Femto Devices to provide full complement of circuit switched services immediately

9 Mobility Architecture  We support the VCC/A21 solution proposed by Airvana as one option in the Femto device standard  We would also like to see an option that allows for IOS V5.x signaling through MSCe  This would probably require almost no changes to the IOS  Would leverage existing infrastructure investments  By allowing the option for both architectures, standard could support migration paths and so be more useful

10 Standards Impacts  We support Airvana’s proposal for standards text modification  IOS impacts will be negligible for our option, if needed at all
