Outline

• MMD Basics

• End-to-End Example– Packet Switched Video Telephony

• Legacy MS Domain Evolution

• Transition to MMD

• MMD Evolution

• 3GPP2 Project Roadmap

3

Introduction

• 3GPP2 defines core standards for VoIP and multi-media services– Not just a replacement for circuit-switched voice– Other example services: voice/video conferencing,

PTT, Presence and Instant Messaging.• CDMA2000 packet network standards build on

results from the IETF and IMS-related standards from 3GPP

• 3GPP2 All-IP network is comprised of two domains:– Legacy MS Domain (LMSD)– Multimedia Domain (MMD.)

4

LMSD

• The Legacy MS Domain provides support for existing mobiles (e.g., analog, IS-95-A, IS-95-B, IS-2000) with an IP core network.

• The Legacy MS Domain supports the features and capabilities provided in a legacy network in a manner transparent to the user.

• LMSD supports Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO) and Remote Transcoder Operation (RTO) operations.

5

Multi-Media Domain

• Multi-Media Domain (MMD) provides support for SIP capable mobile stations in an IP core network environment.

• MMD supports multimedia sessions to and from SIP-capable mobile

• Also defines interworking with circuit switched networks via Media Gateways.

6

IP Multimedia in 3GPP/3GPP2

• 3GPP/3GPP2 standards for IP Multimedia services– IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) in 3GPP–Multimedia Domain (MMD) in 3GPP2 (IMS plus CDMA

packet data transport and enhancements for CDMA operation.)

–3GPPs decided to harmonize IMS. Now nearly identical at IMS level.

• Regulatory issues must be addressed – (VoIP surveillance, tax structure for internet services, E911 and position

location, etc.)

Packet Switched Video Telephony (PSVT)

• An example service for the MMD• Includes air interface, RAN, core network aspects,

and terminal procedures • Most procedures exist in current standards, e.g.

– X.S0011 Wireless IP Rev D– X.S0013 MMD Rev 0– A.S00xxxxxxxxxxxx IOS– C.S0024 HRPD Rev A– C.S0001 - C.S0006

PSVT Components• Air Interface

– Service Options to be used for transporting SIP, Audio, Video, and RTCP traffic– Procedures for requesting appropriate air link QoS for these different traffic types

• IOS (A-interface)– Specifications for handoffs and cross paging of HRPD-1x hybrid terminals

• Packet Data Network– Identifies procedures for QoS establishment and flow treatment– Recommends header compression options– Procedures for packet data accounting

• MMD– Procedures for session setup using SIP– SIP compression and security procedures– Procedures for MMD accounting

• Following slides provide architecture and call flows.

PSVT Challenges

• Low-interruption handoffs– Requires low latency inter-PDSN handoffs – HRPD does not YET support active handoffs

• Hand-down and hand-up– Variations in QoS resources or bearer support due to

sector loading or inter-technology handoffs– How to modify media streams (e.g., add/remove

video) with minimal interruption?– Updating QoS resources for MS.

15

LMSD Evolution

• Legacy Mobile Station Domain (LMSD)– IS-2000 RAN, with IP-based A–interface , VoIP transport

between MSC soft-switches

• Step 1, call delivery• Step 2, handoffs and better feature support.• Ability to interwork with other network types:

– MMD/IMS– Packet Cable– DSL

• Enhancements– Faster call setup – Security for bearer.

16

Transition Architecture

• Evolution to MMD will occur in steps

• Transition architecture will support– Interworking with legacy circuit switched

networks– Handoffs from MMD services to legacy

services where possible.

17

• Placeholder for HRPD/1x interworking figure

18

MMD Evolution

• Define the path from circuit switched voice networks to LMSD and MMD

• Transition Architecture– Call delivery– Handoff– WLAN…..

• Services– Conferencing– Messaging and Presence– Emergency services– Local services.

• Enhancements– Faster session setup– Security.

19

Future Development

• True End-to-End QoS

• Full interworking with other networks, including UMTS, public internet, Next Generation Network
