VOLTE

VOLTE is a specific IMS profile

Voice over LTE
VOLTE Specification is IR.92, IMS Profile for Voice and SMS
Scope of IR-92:IMS related:- Registration, Call establishment, Release, SS
Media:- Codecs (AMR), RTP and RTCP
RAN and EPC features:- ROHC, LTE radio bearers, DRX
Common Functionalities:- IP version, Emergency calls, Roaming

Pre requisite for VOLTE

UE obtains an IP through IP CAN session from PDN gateway
UE tries to connect to P-CSCF using pre configured IP/Dynamic/ISIM

VOLTE Architecture

VOLTE

VOLTE requires end to end QOS

GBR:- Guaranteed bit rate
Min and Max bearer bit rates
ARP:- Allocation and Retention priority
Priority in bearer establishment
QCI:- QOS Class ID
Preconfigured QOS Parameteres

VOLTE demands for Guaranteed Bit rate (12.2 Kbps)

VOLTE needs QCI=1 for voice and QCI=5 for Signaling
VOLTE voice traffic used RLC UM mode, signaling uses AM

Bearer Mapping

VOLTE SS

Supplementary Services support

Call forward
Unconditional
Busy
No reply
Not reachable

Identification
CLIR, CLIP

Barring
All incoming
All outgoing
Outgoing international calls
Incoming calls-When Roaming

Call Hold
Call waiting
Conference

VOLTE Call flow

UE sends SIP register req to P-CSCF

P-CSCF finds I-CSCF, Pre configured
I-CSCF queries HSS to find S-CSCF
S-CSCF initiates Auth challenge

VOLTE Callflow

UE responds to Auth challenge

SCSCF sends IMS regn ACK

VOLTE Identifiers

IMPU: IMS Public Identity

Used for communicating with other users
IMPI: IMS Private Identity
Used as a username during authentication, registration and deregistration
SIP URI: SIP Uniform Resource ID
SIP Phone number

VOLTE SS

Ut Interface, XML over HTTP (XCAP)

AS controls the setup and management of SS
Data stored on the AS in the XML format
UE acts as an XCAP client able to read, write Modify application
data stored on AS

Diameter
Double of Radius

VOLTE Protocol stack

AM -> Acknowledge Mode

SIP
SIP:- Session Initiation Protocol Used to create Modify and terminate a
multimedia session
SDP:- Session Description Protocol Carries the information
RFC 3261
RFC 2543

SIP Requests
INVITE -> Invite for SIP call
CANCEL -> Cancel the pending request
ACK -> acknowledge the response
MODIFY -> Modify the properties of the previous request
UPDATE -> Update the previous session properties with out mof
NOTIFY -> Status change updates
REGISTER -> Register to SIP Server
MESSAGE -> Messaging
BYE -> Disconnection Request
PRACK -> response to 1XX responses

SIP Response Types

Generated by SIP server or UAC
1XX:- Provisional -> working on the request
2XX:- Success -> accepted
3XX:- Redirection -> retry at other Server with the guidance given by this server
4XX:- Client Error -> Syntax error
5XX:- Server Error -> This server failed to server an apparently valid request
6XX:- Global Error -> Cant be severed at any Server
1XX responses are not acked except using PRACK for 180-Ringing
1XX responses are used to minimize the retransmissions of INVITE

SIP Response Examples

->

Trying, trying to connect the call

Ringing, alerting is taking place
Call is being forwarded
Call queued
Session in progress

200 OK -> Accepting the INVITE, will contain the media properties of the UAS
response to OPTIONS will indicate the capabilities of the server
202 Accepted -> Server received the request, understood and working on it
