Realities and Perspectives

VoLTE Background and extensions Dan Warren, Senior Director of Technology, GSMA
VoLTE – to date
History – „One Voice‟ profile handed to GSMA and became IR.92, the UNI SIP
Profile for UE to IMS network.
– First version of IR.92 completed April 2010 - continuing improvements via
GSMA CR process.
Roaming and Interconnect (and in particular the combination of the two), have
proved difficult to complete.
– Technically optimal approaches do not take into account the need to interwork
or fall back to existing Circuit Switched techniques.
– Commercial requirements further restrict the technical solution.
– Work in 3GPP initiated to address the requirements – RAVEL work item.
Now, work to extend beyond the original VoLTE service has spawned new threads
of work.
Current status of VoLTE
VoLTE service expected to appear first in North America during late 2011/early
2012.
– Device implementation combines VoLTE with Wideband codec, Video, RCS.
– Baseband implementation but expected to have OS accessibility to some IMS-
based features.
In the meantime, Europe and Asian operators likely to launch first with CSFB.
– Delays in SR-VCC capability making CSFB a likely first Voice deployment for
many operators.
– CSFB still viewed as sub-optimal - improvements in set-up time for CSFB being
proposed in 3GPP.
Everyone is heading to VoLTE – just taking different paths to get there.

IR.64 – IMS control for all voice calls
Two main features: Terminating Access Domain Selection
– Determine whether to route terminating
call to CS or PS access
Single Radio Voice Call Continuity
– Maintains IMS call control when moving
from LTE to 2G/3G CS
Service Centralization in the IMS: IMS “controls” both circuit and packet voice calls

IR.92 IR.58 IR.58 is very similar to IR.92 (IMS profile for
voice and SMS over LTE) and inherits as much
as possible from IR.92, in particular:
The document framework, with similar
corresponding section numbering whenever possible
The document contents, with a simple reference to
IR.92 when the content is agreed to be equivalent
How to prove it works - IOT
IMTC SuperOp, May 2011
– Handset focus but struggled with lack of handsets
available from vendors.
– IMTC hosting a VoLTE webinar – 30th Nov.
MSF VoLTE Interoperability Event, September 2011
– Hosted by Vodafone and China Mobile.
– Demonstrated calls, interconnect and roaming.
– Detailed results announced 8th November.
– Planning further IOT on VoLTE with GSMA and ETSI
for 2012.
