4 Overview of multimedia telephony communication
service and associated supplementary services in
the IP Multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem
4.1 General
In accordance with the service definition and requirements in 3GPP TS 22.173 [2], the IMS multimedia telephony
communication service specified herein allows multimedia conversational communication between two or more end
points. An end point is typically located in a UE, but can also be located in a network entity.
As for traditional circuit-switched telephony, the protocols for the IMS multimedia Telephony communication service
allow a user to connect to any other user, regardless of operator and access technology.
The IMS multimedia Telephony communication service consists of two principal parts: a basic communication part,
and an optional supplementary services part.
4.1A Roles
4.1A.1 Multimedia telephony participant
A UE shall implement the role of a multimedia telephony participant.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
3GPP TS 24.173 version 14.3.0 Release 14 9 ETSI TS 124 173 V14.3.0 (2019-01)
4.1A.2 Multimedia telephony application server
An application server shall implement the role of a multimedia telephony application server. Various application server
usages are called out by references to the various supplementary services, see subclause 4.3. It is an implementation
decision on how to allocate the functionality to one or more application servers.
4.2 Overview of basic communication part
The basic communication part of an IMS multimedia telephony communication service session is realised by a single
SIP session. It utilises media capabilities and flexibility provided by the SIP protocol and the 3GPP IMS specifications.
In accordance with the service definition in 3GPP TS 22.173 [2], media capabilities include RTP-based transfer of
voice, real-time video, real-time text and data, and UDPTL-based transfer of fax (IETF RFC 3362 [28]), as well as
TCP/MSRP-based transfer of text, arbitrary files and sharing of media files with predefined formats.
To ensure interoperability, media handling (including codecs and formats) is fully specified for RTP-based and MSRP-
based transfer in:
- 3GPP TS 26.114 [12] for 3GPP systems;
- 3GPP2 C.S0055-A [21] for 3GPP2 systems; and
- ETSI TS 181 005 [22] (codecs) and 3GPP TS 26.114 [12] (formats and other media handling) for fixed-
broadband accesses.
The service is highly dynamic in terms of media component usage: the protocols allow a communication session to start
with one or more media components, and components can then be added and/or removed during the communication
session. The protocols allow both one-way and two ways transfer between end points. Full duplex speech, and speech
combined with other media components, are typical media cases but the protocols do not mandate the use of speech in
all sessions.
4.3 Overview of supplementary services part
The supplementary services part of the IMS multimedia telephony communication service consists of a number of
specified supplementary services. These are fully standardized to ensure interoperability between multiple end points,
and between end points and network control entities. The behaviour of supplementary services is similar to
supplementary services specified for CS speech (TS 11). Supplementary services uses SIP as enabling protocol.
Configuration of supplementary services by the user should:
- take place over the Ut interface using XCAP as enabling protocol as described in 3GPP TS 24.623 [11]; or
- u
