7. 1. Fixed-mobile convergence, IMS definition, standardization A. Definition of FMC The following definition of FMC is based on the ETSI FMC ad hoc workgroup docs: Fixed and Mobile Convergence (FMC) is concerned with the provision of network and service capabilities, which are independent of the access technique. This does not necessarily imply the physical convergence of networks. It is concerned with the development of converged network capabilities and supporting standards. This set of standards may be used to offer a set of consistent services via fixed or mobile access to fixed or mobile, public or private networks. 3
B. FMC motivations Customer motivations – more mobility with required list of services # The FMC greatest benefits - for the end-user # Mobility of people and the need to communicate on the move # Conventional fixed networks continue to serve the home or the office # Wide range of services within a uniform network # Quality standards regarding reliability, security, etc. Three aspects of mobility - terminal/service/personal mobility: • Terminal mobility - the use of personal terminal at any place • Service mobility - set of services independent of the access type and location • Personal mobility - the customer is reachable with one number, his personal number, everywhere. 4
FMC motivations • Operator motivations – better position on the market –increasing revenue, gaining new users # FMC can be understood as a marketing strategy to attract new customers by launching new innovative products # Offering customized set of attractive services: (VPN, VHE, …) # IN Services developed in fixed networks - Call Forwarding, Personal Number # Services developed in mobile networks - Prepaid Service, SMS # Investment cost saving (HW/SW for billing, IN equipment, …) # Operational cost savings (common OAM processes, common numbering plan, …) 5
C. FMC components Fixed-mobile convergence involves: • • unified core network multi-radio terminals devices such as PCs, PDAs, fixed phones common multi-access service delivery platform FMC is described through the four distinct categorizations: • • service convergence terminal convergence network convergence industry convergence 6
Service convergence Focus - on end-user requirements and the service experience. The primary goal is the concurrent delivery of all media types — voice, data, and video— to an easy-to-use graphical user interface, with mobility, access, and device awareness. Multitude of services (person-to-person, person-to-content, and content-to-person) can be provided to the same user over different access networks and to different devices. From a service perspective, the consumer and enterprise user expect convenience, ease of use, reliability, security and support to be always connected in the best way. 7

D. IMS Definition • The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a standardized NGN architecture for telecom operator that want to provide mobile and fixed multimedia services. It uses a Vo. IP implementation based on a 3 GPP standardized implementation of SIP, and runs over the standard IP. Existing both PS and CS systems are supported. • The aim of IMS - providing all services for fixed and mobile users. • IMS provides the unified architecture that supports a wide range of IPbased services over both packet- and circuit-switched networks, employing a range of different wireless and fixed access technologies. • IMS uses open standard IP protocols. • Interfaces for service developers are also based on IP protocols. • For providers - the ability to control and charge for each service. • For users – the ability to execute all their services when roaming as well as from their home networks. 11
E. IMS Standardization IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a concept developed and specified by the 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP). Currently 3 GPP includes different SDOs: • Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) - USA • Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) - Japan • China Communications Standards Association (CCSA) • European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) • Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) – Korea 12
IMS Standardization 3 GPP Release 1999 (R’ 99) First 3 GPP standards for UMTS. Base for al UMTS networks Release 4 (Rel’ 4) – 2001 Evolution of UMTS architecture, transport and interfaces Release 5 (Rel’ 5) – 2002 Next phase of UMTS evolution. Introduction of the IMS concept. Minimum release for IMS is R'5 Release 6 (2003) • Mobile networks and WLAN interconnection • ММ multicasting Release 7 (2004) • Fixed/mobile convergence. Mobile and fixed networks interaction (together with ETSI-TISPAN) TISPAN - Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for 13 Advanced Networks
IMS Standardization 3 GPP 2 • The Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3 GPP 2) is a 3 G telecommunications specifications-setting project comprising North American and Asian interests developing global specifications for ANSI/TIA/EIA-41 network evolution to 3 G • 3 GPP 2 was born out of the ITU International Mobile Telecommunications "IMT-2000" initiative, covering high speed, broadband, and IP-based mobile systems featuring network-to-network interconnection, service transparency, global roaming and seamless services independent of location. • 3 GPP 2 is a collaborative effort between five officially recognized SDOs: ARIB- Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (Japan) CCSA - China Communications Standards Association (China) TIA - Telecommunications Industry Association (North America) TTA - Telecommunications Technology Association (Korea) TTC - Telecommunications Technology Committee (Japan) • 3 GPP 2 based their CDMA 2000 Multimedia Domain (MMD) on 3 GPP IMS, adding support for CDMA 2000 14

A. TISPAN Standards 20
TISPAN-3 GPP Standards • Minimum release for IMS is R'5 • ETSI/TISPAN (2005) is based on 3 GPPR'6 and a R’ 1 part of R'7, and on TISPAN additional work • 2008/2009: introduction of the full IMS mobile (based on R 7 which is full IP including voice, which is standardized in 2006 • Simultaneously, evolution of the Fixed IMS (based on TISPAN standards by 2006/07), which will strictly comply with R 7 • 2008/2009, we may have the same IMS implementation By for both fixed and mobile networks 21

Network Attachment Subsystem (NASS) NASS provides registration at access level and initialization of CPE for an access to IMS services Main functionalities: • • IP address allocation Authentication, taking place at the IP layer (prior or during the address allocation procedure) Authorization of network access (based on user profiles) Location management, taking place at the IP layer Interactions between authentication at the network attachment level and at the SIP level. 23
Resource and Allocation Control Subsystem (RACS) RACS provides to applications a mechanism to request and reserve the resources from access network 24

7. 5. Conclusion - FMC basing on IMS is here 30
Key attractions of IMS • Access independence: IMS will eventually work with any network (fixed or mobile) with packet-switching functions, such as CDMA 2000, GPRS, UMTS, and WLAN. Open interfaces between control and service layers allow elements and calls/sessions from different access networks to be mixed. • Different network architectures: IMS allows operators and service providers to use different underlying network architectures. • Terminal and user mobility: The mobile network provides terminal mobility, while user mobility is provided by IMS and SIP. • Extensive IP-based services: IMS should make it easier to offer just about any IP-based service. Examples include voice over IP (VOIP), pushto-talk over cellular (POC), multiparty gaming, video/audio conferencing, and content sharing. 31
