Introduction
The response to emergency situations (e.g., floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks) depends on the
communication capabilities of public networks. In most cases, emergency responders use private radio systems to aid in
the logistics of providing critically needed restoration services. However, certain government and emergency
management officials and other authorised users have to rely on public network services when the communication
capability of the serving network may be impaired, for example due to congestion or partial network infrastructure
outages, perhaps due to a direct or indirect result of the emergency situation.
Multimedia Priority Service, supported by the 3GPP system set of services and features, is one element creating the
ability to deliver calls or complete sessions of a high priority nature from mobile to mobile networks, mobile to fixed
networks, and fixed to mobile networks.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the service requirements for Multimedia Priority Service (MPS).
The scope of this document is to specify those requirements of MPS necessary to provide an end-to-end service and to
interwork with external networks where needed. Service interactions with external networks are considered within the
scope of this document although these interactions may be specified in other standards.

MPS session: A session for which priority treatment is applied for allocating and maintaining radio and network
resources.
MPS-subscribed UE: A UE having MPS subscription.
Priority Treatment: Refers to mechanisms and features that increase the success rate for MPS session invocation,
establishment and maintenance until release.
Service User: An individual authorized to use MPS and who has been granted a user priority level assignment by a
regional/national authority (i.e., an agency authorised to issue priority assignments), and has a subscription to a mobile
network operator that supports the MPS feature.

4 General description
MPS provides priority treatment to increase the probability of an authorized Service User’s Voice, Video, and Data
communication session being successful. Some form of priority treatment is applied to the MPS invocation and session
establishment, and continues to be applied until the MPS session is released. The priority treatment may be applied
before the invocation if a greater probability of success in receiving, recognizing, and processing the invocation is
needed.
MPS allows qualified and authorized users to obtain priority access to the next available radio channel on a priority
basis before other PLMN users, during situations when PLMN congestion is blocking session establishment attempts. In
addition, MPS supports priority sessions on an "end-to-end" priority basis.
MPS is intended to be utilised for Voice, Video, and Data bearer services in the Packet-switched (PS) domain and the
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). It also involves priority transitioning of MPS service (e.g., Voice) to the CS domain
when the network does not support the requested service in the PS domain. MPS Voice, Video and Data sessions are
based on providing priority treatment to the corresponding commercial services offered to the public.
MPS includes network functions that fall into the following broad categories:
Service Invocation: The process to recognize and identify a request for an MPS session. A MPS Service Provider
network recognizes an MPS invocation based on the presence of an MPS-unique identifier entered by the originating
Service User in the service request received by the network from the UE, or based on the subscription profile of the
originating UE, or as a regional/operator option the subscription profile of the terminating UE.
NOTE: The option related to “subscription profile of the terminating UE” may not involve end-to-end priority
because this option is based on providing priority only in the terminating network based on the
terminating UE subscription profile.
Authorization: The process to verify that a Service User is authorized for MPS. This includes capabilities to verify
authorization to receive priority treatment in the radio access network and to access the MPS application service (MPS
Voice, Video, and Data).
End-to-End Priority Treatment: The process of providing priority treatment in all parts of the path, from one endpoint to
the other endpoint(s). End-to-end priority treatment includes priority treatment by all MPS capable networks involved
in the MPS session path, the origination network and the termination network as well as any transit networks in
between.
Invocation-to-Release Priority Treatment: The process of providing priority treatment to all phases of a session, from
invocation until release, including all steps in between.
The combination of End-to-End Priority Treatment and Invocation-to-Release Priority Treatment includes both pre- and
post-authorization treatment and includes the following aspects:
1) Priority processing of the Service User’s MPS invocation,
2) Admission control and allocation of network resources (including bearer resources) in origination, termination,
and transit networks, including handovers,
3) Transport of signaling and media packets,
4) Priority processing within EPS and CN, and
5) Processing of the Service Users release of an MPS service session.
Network Interconnection and Protocol Interworking: A Service User’s MPS invocation and session establishment will
involve transport and processing, and the end-to-end signaling and media path may traverse multiple MPS Service
Provider networks. These end-to-end cas
...
