7.4.0 General
IPTV service action data: this category encompasses information related to the actions the user may have taken while accessing services such as BC or CoD (e.g. ordering a CoD - Choosing to pause while viewing a live event). Those data are required to enable IPTV session portability for the user. This category also comprises IPTV service state information (e.g. current BC program ID, commercial break in BC service, pause during CoD playback, list of CoDs and associated status, record status of recordings, trick play events). The recipient of the IPTV service action data shall ensure they comply with the data protection regulations that apply in the authorized jurisdiction that the service is delivered (see also TS 187 016 [19]).

7.4.1 Data model
Figure 8: IPTV Service action data - data model This data model assumes that each IPTV user is allocated at least an IMS Public User Identity and an IPTV Service Action data profile is associated with this IMS Public User Identity. NOTE 1: The "ProgrammeId" attribute is unique, as it refers to one and only one entry in the EPG. NOTE 2: Although the "Bookmark" attribute could be used as an indirect way to identify the programme, it is seen as more convenient and immediate to use the ProgrammeId for that purpose. IPTV service action data includes the following information: • The list of CoDs that the user has ordered and associated status, CodOffset which is offset in the content where the user has paused and CodOffsetExpiryTime which is expiration time associated with the CodOffset value. ActionData Id: string IPTV Service Action BC Bookmarks BCServiceId: string ProgrammeId: string Bookmark: timestamp BookmarkExpiryTime: timestamp NPVR items NPVRContentId: string BCServiceId: string RecordStartDate: timestamp RecordEndDate: timestamp RecordDescription: string RecordStatus: enumerated RecordOffset: string RecordOffsetExpiryTime timestamp RecordExpiryTime: timestamp Available CoD CoDId: string CoDDeliveryStatus: enumerated CoDOffset: string CoDOffsetExpiryTime: timestamp 0..n 0..n 0..n UGC items UGCContentId: string UGCCreationTime: timestamp UGCTargetUserId: string UGCGenre:string UGCTitle:string UGCOriginator:string UGCDescription: string UGCAuthorizedViewUser: string 0..n 0..n CPVR items CPVRContentId: string BCServiceId: string TargetUEId: string RecordStartDate: timestamp RecordEndDate: timestamp RecordDescription: string ETSI ETSI TS 182 027 V3.5.1 (2011-03) 43 • The list of BC TV services (or programmes) that the user has paused (and is hence likely to resume later) including the bookmark value associated with the paused BC TV service or Programme and BookMarkExpiryTime which is expiration time associated with the bookmark value. • The list of N-PVR contents that the user has asked to be recorded. This would include the following parameters: - N-PVRContentId: it refers to a content identifier used by the UE to activate an N-PVR session related to the N-PVR content. NOTE 3: In the case when a specific programme has been requested to be recorded, this ID would be the same as ProgrammeID, and the RecordStartDate and RecordEndDate attributes would be optional. - BCServiceId: the identifier of the BC service that is to be recorded. - (Optionally) RecordStartDate: the start date (and time) of the recording. - (Optionally) RecordEndDate: the end date (and time) of the recording. - (Optionally) RecordDescription: a description of the recording made by the user when he/she requested to record the live content. - RecordStatus: the status of such a recording (requested - scheduled - available - failed). - RecordOffset: the offset in the N-PVR content where the user might have paused while actually watching it. - RecordOffsetExpiryTime: expiration time associated with the RecordOffset. - RecordExpiryTime: the expiration time associated with the recording value. • The list of C-PVR contents that the user has asked to be recorded. This would include the following parameters: - BCServiceId: the identifier of the BC service that is to be recorded. - TargetUEId: the identifier of Target UE which stores the content. - (Optional) C-PVRContentId: the identifier of the C-PVR content, can be used as an index for user. NOTE 4: In the case when a specific programme has been requested to be recorded, this ID would be the same as ProgrammeID, and the RecordStartDate and RecordEndDate attributes would be optional. - (Optional) RecordStartDate: the start date (and time) of the recording. - (Optional) RecordEndDate: the end date (and time) of the recording. - (Optional) RecordDescription: a description of the recording made by the user when he/she requested to record the live content. - RecordStatus: the status of such a recording (requested - scheduled - available - failed).

The individual BC and CoD Service States have their own ServiceState and ServiceStateInformation attributes, which are associated in the combined SSC - or PSC Service State. NOTE 2: Additional attributes for other IPTV Services are not specified in TISPAN Release 3.

8.2 UE start-up procedure
Figure 9 depicts the typical steps that occur at power up of the UE. Some of the steps are not new in them selves, but exist already in NGN. ETSI ETSI TS 182 027 V3.5.1 (2011-03) 50 Figure 9: UE start-up procedure 1) Network Attachment In this step the UE attaches to the network. The procedures for network attachment are defined in ES 282 004 [3]. This step includes IP configuration, P-CSCF address discovery, etc. 2) IMS Registration In this step, the UE performs regular IMS Registration as defined in TS 182 006 [2]. 3) Service Attachment In this step, the UE retrieves the service attachment information (server addresses and other relevant information) needed to retrieve the appropriate information to access the services that the user is authorized to. The user preferences and the capabilities of the UE can be taken into account to enable personalized service discovery. The UE could retrieve the service attachment information through the Push mode and Pull mode. Push mode: When the UE attaches to the IMS network, the SDF actively sends the service attachment information to the UE. Pull mode: After the UE attaches to the IMS network, the UE actively requests the service attachment information from the SDF. NOTE 1: The SDF discovery can be performed in several ways: through NASS attachment, by manual provisioning, using IFC e.g. third-party registration, etc. 4) Service Selection In this step, the UE retrieves data related to specific services and makes appropriate service selection. NOTE 2: In case the UE needs to directly contact a network functional element, (e.g. a Service Control Function - SCF, or SSF), it should perform GBA authentication, for key management purposes. This procedure will secure further communication taking place between the UE and the IPTV Service Control Function. The GBA bootstrapping procedure is defined in GAA - TS 133 220 [4] and is referenced in the TISPAN NGN Security architecture - TS 187 003 [5]. This step is not affecting the functional behaviour of any of the entities involved in this start-up phase and thus, it is not displayed in this flow. ETSI ETSI TS 182 027 V3.5.1 (2011-03) 51 The detailed sequence of steps 3 and 4 is described in the figures below: 2. attach to IPTV Core IMS SDF User Profile UE SSF 3.

Figure 10: IPTV service attachment and selection in pull mode 1) The UE makes a service attachment request. 2) The core IMS relays the request to the appropriate entity (here, SDF). 3) The SDF determines the proper SSF (or SSFs) according to the UE's capabilities, the user's profile and also the location of the UE (Personalized Service Discovery). The user profile may be retrieved from the UPSF or any other entity where it is stored. 4) Service attachment information that includes the SSF address(es) is (are) routed back to the UE. 5) Core IMS relays the service attachment information related to IPTV services back to UE. 6) The UE requests the SSF to get the selection data. 7) The SSF delivers the requested data to the UE. For the purpose of service attachment update, steps 4 and 5 described above can be repeated at any time after completion of the IPTV service attachment and selection procedure.

The user profile may be retrieved from the UPSF or any other entity where it is stored. 3) Service attachment information that includes the SSF address(es) is (are) routed back to the UE. 4) Core IMS relays the service attachment information related to IPTV services back to UE. 5) The UE requests the SSF to get the selection data. 6) The SSF delivers the requested data to the UE.

8.3 Broadcast session
The procedures described here are for streaming cases distinguished from upload/download cases (described in clause 8.19). Before the User Equipment can join a multicast channel, a session initiation procedure shall take place as described in clause 8.3.1. One session initiation is associated to one or more service packages. SCF does not participate in channel change control in order to avoid zapping delays. The UE retrieves necessary network parameters to handle the BC TV Service either before the session initiation procedure (from the SSF) or as part of the session initiation procedure (from the SCF). The SSF and/or the SCF acquire network parameters from management entities. NOTE: Alternative methods could exist, but they out of scope for this release. The session may be modified using the procedure described in clause 8.3.2 in the following cases: • The BC TV Service is modified. ETSI ETSI TS 182 027 V3.5.1 (2011-03) 53 • Currently allocated resources are not sufficient and the User Equipment wishes to join a multicast channel with different QoS requirements (e.g. zapping from a SD to HD channel). The session modification procedure may take place before or after the request to change channel, in order to avoid increasing zapping delays. In the later case, the session modification procedure is initiated by the UE and the new channel is delivered using currently allocated resources until this procedure and any additional resource reservations that may be required are completed. The session can be terminated by the User Equipment using the procedures described in clause 8.3.3 or by the network. Interactions between the IMS and the RACS take place at different steps of the session initiation and modification and release. Additional resource control procedures not triggered by the IMS may also take place and are not described in the following clauses.

If the user switches channel again during this delay time, the flow is restarted at step 1. 3) The UE sends information about which channel is being watched. 4) Core IMS routes the information to the SCF. The SCF stores channel change information in the Service Action Data. 8.3.5 Signalling flows for transition from Broadcast TV to Broadcast TV with trick play Figure 20 provides the signalling flow for trick play of a Broadcast TV channel. In order to apply trick modes to a Broadcast TV session, this must be established as indicated in clause 8.3.1. The same session is used in the trick play session modification, in order not to change the bandwidth requirements on the network. At successful conclusion of these procedures the UE seamlessly transitions from viewing Broadcast TV to Broadcast TV with trick play. NOTE: As an alternative to the session modification, it is possible to initiate a separate session for trick modes handling, in addition to the Broadcast TV one, while keeping control of the bandwidth requirements between the two of them. This method is, however, out of the scope of the present document. ETSI ETSI TS 182 027 V3.5.1 (2011-03) 62 Figure 20: Signalling flow for initiating trick play of broadcast TV channel 1) Broadcast TV session initiation. NOTE 1: The procedures are the same as clause 8.3.2, Overview of the signalling flows for session initiation. RACS and channel establishment have been removed for purpose of simplification. 2) The UE sends information on the current channel being watched, in order for the SCF to know what channel should be recorded. 3) Core IMS routes the information to the SCF.

If trick play service is not available for the UE, the session modification is not sent. NOTE 2: The Broadcast TV with trick play session modification is performed on the same session as the Broadcast TV session initiation. The existing reservation (for broadcast) needs to be modified to add a unicast flow that reuses the resources dedicated to the user. In the figure, RACS has been combined with Core IMS for the purpose of simplification. NOTE 3: Steps 2 and 3 are optional in a generic Broadcast TV session, but are required if trick play is activated. The implementation of both steps as separate messages or combined with step 4 is an implementation issue. 5) After reserving resources in RACS Core IMS forwards the session modification request to the SCF. 6) The SCF forwards the session modification request as a new session initiation to the MF along with the channel indication. The MF will determine if the programme currently broadcasted has trick play support.. Prior to replying the MF uses real time to calculate the media offset for the broadcast TV channel when replying with the offered media. If trick play service is not available for the UE the session modification is rejected and the old Broadcast TV session initiation (along with the previous reserved committed resources) is maintained. 7) The MF sends the session modification response to the SCF. 8) The SCF forwards the session modification response to the Core IMS. 9) After committing resources in RACS Core IMS forwards the session modification response to the UE. 10) The UE leaves the multicast channel. 11) The UE starts playing content and receiving unicast flow. NOTE 4: Alternatives to the above call-flow are for further study. 8.3.6 Signalling flows for transition from Broadcast TV with trick play to Broadcast TV The UE returns from Broadcast TV trick play to linear Broadcast TV, for example when the UE switches channels from a paused channel to another live Broadcast TV channels, or when the UE fast-forwarding in a unicast stream and catches up with the live Broadcast TV channel. The trigger to transition from Broadcast TV with Trick Play to Broadcast TV may be initiated by the UE, SCF or MCF. NOTE: The event to trigger the transition is outside of the present document. The UE or SCF may request a Broadcast TV session modification as described in clause 8.3.2, titled Overview of the signalling flows for session modification. The difference is that the Broadcast TV session modification is performed on the same session, in order to release unicast resources, and the SCF is responsible for releasing the resources in the MCF with a session termination request/response. The MCF may request a session termination towards SCF which in turn performs Broadcast TV session modification towards the UE.

8.3.8 Signalling flows for Pay Per View service
Figure 20A depicts signalling flows for PPV service, this procedure applies for IPTV users subscribing to a PPV program scheduled on a channel to which the user is not subscribed to. ETSI ETSI TS 182 027 V3.5.1 (2011-03) 64 Figure 20A: Signalling flows for Pay Per View session Prior to the PPV program session initiation, users should have subscribed a PPV program. The subscription information which may be saved as user profile include the user's indentity, BC service ID and BC program ID of the PPV program. 1) UE initiates the PPV program session as the BC session initiation procedures specified in clause 8.3.1.1.1, The PPV specific steps here are as follows: i) The PPV program session initiation request includes the BC service ID and the BC program ID of the PPV program. ii) When SCF receives the request, the SCF identifies the program according to the BC service ID and BC program ID, and verifies based on the IPTV user profile, that the program has been PPV subscribed. Upon successful verification, the SCF verifies that the program is ready to start, i.e. the current time is greater than/equal to program start time. Then accepts the request. If not, it refuses the request. NOTE 1: The SCF authorizes the BC Session Initiation for that BC Service ID based on the fact that BC Program ID has been PPV subscribed. In the answer to the session initiation, the SCF includes information related to that authorized PPV program to enable the Core IMS to provision RACS with necessary parameters. NOTE 2: The initiation of PPV program session may be triggered by the user's action or the notification from SCF (e.g. SCF detects the PPV program is ready to start, and sends a notification to UE as specified in clause 8.11.1). 2) The UE starts joining multicast channels and receiving multicast flows. 3) UE or SCF initiates the PPV program session release procedure as BC session release procedures specified in clause 8.3.3. As part of the PPV program session release, RACS is updated by removing the BC Service. NOTE 3: Session release for PPV service can be initiated either by SCF or UE. SCF initiates session release when detects the PPV program is over. NOTE 4: An alternative solution using release 2 mechanisms can also be used. The SCF indicates the BC service ID that identifies the PPV program either at session initiation (clause 8.3.1) if the PPV programm is already authorised or by initiating a session modification (clause 8.3.2). If the BC session is on-going when the authorisation duration has elapsed, the SCF modify the session to remove the appropriate BC service ID from the authorised BC service list.

Before the User Equipment can view the content, a session initiation procedure shall take place as described in clause 8.4.1. The UE retrieves necessary network parameters to handle the CoD service before the session initiation procedure (from the SSF), or as part of the session initiation procedure, or after the session initiation procedure (from the MF). The session can be terminated by the User Equipment using the procedures described in clause 8.4.3.1 or by the network clause 8.4.3.2. Interactions between the IMS and the RACS take place at different steps of the session initiation/modification and release. In certain cases such as in conventional content server deployments, it may be preferable that a content control channel and content delivery channel(s) be established separately.

8.4.4 Signalling Flows for CoD session transfer
The CoD session transfer is used to transfer an on-going CoD session from one terminal called transferor UE to another one called transferee UE. The transferor UE and the transferee UE must be served by different or the same SCF. The session transfer could be handled directly between both terminals or can be managed by the transferee SCF. In the latter case, the transferor SCF will initiate a CoD session with the transferee UE at session transfer request from the transferor UE. NOTE: 3GPP Release 9 specifications are limited to UE centric push mode for session transfer, i.e. only the case in clause 8.4.4.1 is addressed by 3GPP in release 9. For reference, the related 3GPP specifications are TS 123 237 [17] and TS 124 237 [18].

The SCF obtains the CoD content-id, and perform service authorisation and checks that the user is authorised to perform session transfer. The SCF also obtains the UE2 identity and the target user identity from the incoming request. To allow UE2 to acquire the content id used to set up the initial session, UE1 shall include the content id in the session transfer request. 5) The Session Transfer Request, including the offset, is forwarded from the SCF to the UE2 via the Core-IMS. 6) UE2 receives an invitation to initiate a CoD session for the content indicated by the content-id. It acknowledges the Request by sending a Session Transfer Response to the SCF via the Core-IMS. 7) The SCF forwards the Session Transfer Response to the UE1 via the Core-IMS. 8) The UE2 informs the UE1 that it initiates the CoD session initiation by sending a Session Transfer Start Notification to the UE1 via the core-IMS. NOTE 1: This message can optionally go through the SCF. 9) CoD session initiation between the UE2 and MF2 via core-IMS is done as defined in clause 8.4.1.1.1. 10) The UE2 informs the UE1 that CoD session initiation is complete by sending a Session Transfer Complete Notification to the UE1. NOTE 2: This message can optionally go through the SCF. 11) The UE1 terminates the CoD session with the MF1 as defined in clause 8.4.3.1. 8.4.4.2 Network centric session Transfer pushed from transferor UE to transferee UE Figure 31B provides an overview of the information flows for CoD session transfer between the transferror UE (UE1) and the transferee UE (UE2) managed by the transferor SCF.

If the SCF has not received an offset notification from UE1 it uses CoD Service Action Data requested by the SCF procedure to acquire an offset. 3) UE1 sends a Session Transfer Request to the SCF via the Core- containing the Session Tranfer Identfier-STI (the identity of the session to be transferred) and if necessary the UE2 ID (e.g. if the user ID corresponds to multiple UEs). The SCF obtains the CoD content-id, and performs service authorisation and also checks that the user is authorised to perform session transfer. The SCF also obtains the UE2 identity and the target user identity from the incoming request. To allow UE2 to acquire the content id used to set up the initial session, UE1 shall include the content id in the session transfer request. 4) The SCF replies by a Session Transfer Response to the UE1.

Hence, the transferor UE maintains his session as well. At the end of the procedure both the transferor UE and the transferee UE have independent sessions watching same content from the same or a different MF. 8.4.4.4 Session Transfer pulled by the transferee UE Figure 31C provides an overview of the information flows for direct CoD session transfer between the transferor UE (UE1) and the transferee UE (UE2).

The UE includes the Session Transfer Identfier-STI (identity of the session to be transferred) in his request. The SCF obtains the CoD content-id, from the incoming session initiation request (acquired by UE2 in step2), and performs service authorisation and checks that the user is authorised to perform session transfer. UE1 may send an offset notification to SCF. If the SCF has not received an offset notification from UE1 it uses network initated content marker procedure to acquire an offset. 4) UE2 informs the UE1 that it initiates the CoD session initiation by sending a Session Transfer Start Notification to the UE1 via the core-IMS. NOTE 1: This message can optionally go through the SCF. 5) The UE2 informs the UE1 that CoD session initiation is complete by sending a Session Transfer Complete Notification to the UE1.

8.4.5.2 CoD service action data updated by MF
The procedure described in figure 31E is used to save a CoD service action data by MF. This CoD SAD may need to be updated for example when a user pauses a streaming, terminates the session or if the MF detects that the UE becomes unexpectedly offline. Figure 31E: CoD service action data updated by MF 1) CoD session initiation is performed as described in clause 8.4.1. 2) MF detects a pause, end of session or that the UE becomes offline unexpectedly. The MF may decides to send changes of SAD to SCF. 3) MF sends a CoD SAD update request to save the current CoD SAD. This request may also include a indicator to inform the SCF of the reason for the CoD SAD update. 4) The IMS core forwards this request to the SCF. 5) The SCF updates the CoD SAD. 6) The SCF confirms the CoD SAD update. 7) The IMS core forwards the response to the MF.

8.4.5.3 CoD Service Action Data requested by the SCF
This procedure allows the SCF to acquire the current offset in a streamed content during an ongoing session in case such information is not available and required. Figure 31F provides an overview of the information flow for a CoD SAD request by the SCF to acquire the offset. This procedure can occur at any time during IPTV services (CoD/N-PVR/, etc.). Figure 31F: SCF SAD Request Procedure 1) The SCF sends a SAD request to the MF, via the IMS core, to request the offset during an ongoing IPTV service. 2) The IMS core forwards this request to the appropriate MF for the IPTV service. 3) The MF acquires the requested information. 4) The MF returns to core IMS the requested information in a SAD response. 5) The IMS core forwards the response to the SCF. 8.4.6 Signalling flows for generating playlist by SCF and sending playlist information from SCF to MF during CoD session initiation Figure 31G provides an overview of the information flows for playlist generation by SCF and sending playlist information from SCF to MF when UE initiated CoD session.

If the UE is allowed to access the service, the SCF generates playlist information or fetches a pre-configured playlist from a repository, based on the content ID carried in the session initiation request. Other information (e.g. the User ID, etc.) may also be used to generate the playlist. The playlist contains the list of content ID to be played and optionally content duration and restricted trick-play indication for each content. The data model for playlist is defined in clause 8.4.6.1. 4) The SCF selects an appropriate MF and forwards the session initiation request including playlist information to the selected MF. NOTE 1: The above procedure supports only content delivery from one single MF. 5) The MF interprets playlist information and prepares for content delivery. 6) Content Control and or Content Delivery Channel Setup procedures and finalization of the CoD Session initiation procedure follow clause 8.4.1.1.1, steps 6-11. NOTE 2: During this signalling, the UE might learn that a playlist was generated and act accordingly. Depending on the service type, the UE might already have learned the playlist in advance of service invocation.
