1 Scope
The present document specifies the stage 3, Protocol Description of the Communication Waiting (CW) service, based
on stage 1 and stage 2 of the ISDN call waiting supplementary services. It provides the protocol details in the IP
Multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Session
Description Protocol (SDP).
The Communication Waiting (CW) service enables a user to be informed, that very limited resources are available for
an incoming communication. The user then has the choice of accepting, rejecting or ignoring the waiting call (as per
basic call procedures).
The present document is applicable to User Equipment (UE) and Application Servers (AS) which are intended to
support the CW supplementary service.

4 Communication Waiting (CW)
4.1 Introduction
The Communication Waiting (CW) service enables a UE to be informed that no resources are available for an incoming
communication. The user then has the choice of accepting, rejecting or ignoring the incoming communication (as per
basic communication procedures).
4.2 Description
4.2.1 General description
Two cases can occur depending on the network's ability to validate the status of the destination user upon receipt of an
incoming communication and where the CW condition is determined (i.e. "approaching NDUB" condition):
- network based CW, i.e. sufficient information on the user is available at the time a communication is to be
delivered to the user, the network validates the status of this user. If the status of the user is "approaching
NDUB", the network presents the waiting communication to the destination user; or
- terminal based CW, the network may be informed of the communication waiting situation upon receipt from the
destination user of a communication waiting indication (i.e. the CW condition is determined by the UE using
UDUB).
When a communication arrives at the destination user, the UE validates the status of the user. If the user is already
involved in one or more communications, the terminal notifies the served user of a communication waiting situation.
The user then has different possibilities to react, for example if it may decide to free some resources and accept the
incoming communication.
NOTE: The procedures for NDUB are out of scope of this specification. Information for the handling of NDUB
can be found in 3GPP TS 22.173 [1] Annex Da and 3GPP TS 24.628 [4] clause B.2.
4.3 Operational requirements
4.3.1 Provision/withdrawal
The Communication Waiting service shall be provided after prior arrangement with the service provider.
The CW service can as a network option, be offered to the corresponding users with a subscription option. This
subscription option is part of the CW profile of the served user. The subscription option is shown in the table 4.3.1.1.
Table 4.3.1.1: Subscription option for CW
Subscription option Value
Served user subscribes to "calling user No (default)
receives notification that his/her ________________________
communication is waiting" Yes (NOTE)
NOTE: The notification can take the form of an announcement played to user C, or an out-of
band notification or both. This is up to the network operator to decide.

Timer T is a service provider option. This optional timer specifies the period the network will wait for a response
AS-CW
(answer), from user B, to the offered communication from user C. The timer value is specified in subclause 4.7.
NOTE: When used, the value of T is set by the service provider as a default value subject to change only by
AS-CW
the service provider.

3GPP TS 24.615 version 15.0.0 Release 15 9 ETSI TS 124 615 V15.0.0 (2018-07)
4.4 Coding requirements
4.4.1 CW indication
The XML schema for the CW information XML body is defined in table 4.4.1.1.
Table 4.4.1.1: IM CN subsystem CW XML body, XML Schema

      xmlns:cw10="urn:3gpp:ns:cw:1.0"
      xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
  
  
    
                 type="cw10:tEmptyType"/>
      
    
    
  
  


The CW XML schema shall be transported as a SIP MIME body. The MIME type for the CW information is
"application/vnd.3gpp.cw+xml" (see subclause 5.1). Any SIP message that transports a body with CW information shall
identify the payload as the MIME type associated with CW information (see subclause 5.1).
4.4.2 CW notification
Usage of the urn namespace "alert" with the sub-label "service" and its initial value "call-waiting" within the Alert-Info
header field is described in RFC 7462 [8].
4.5 Signalling requirements
4.5.1 General
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 [7]; or
- use SIP based user configuration as described in 3GPP TS 24.238 [10].
NOTE: Other possibilities for user configuration, such as web-based provisioning or pre-provisioning by the
operator are outside the scope of the present document, but are not precluded.
The enhancements to the XML schema for use over the Ut interface is described in subclause 4.8.
4.5.2 Activation/deactivation
The service CW is individually activated at provisioning or at the subscriber's request.
The service CW is individually deactivated at withdrawal or at the subscriber's request.
4.5.3 Registration/erasure
The CW service requires no registration. Erasure is not applicable.
4.5.4 Interrogation
For interrogation of CW the mechanisms specified in subclause 4.5.1 should be used.
