6 Service Architecture
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
6.1 Overview
The service architecture for the PES and the IMS subsystems is the same. The generic behaviour of a application server functions is identical with respect to the PSTN/ISDN Emulation Subsystem and the TISPAN IMS. However, depending on the type of services to be emulated, certain application servers may need to understan...

182 012
8.2 Interfaces with other external IP-based Subsystems
Interconnection with other IP-based subsystems (including other PSTN/ISDN Emulation subsystems) is typically performed via the IBCF at the signalling level. NOTE 1: Use of the IBCF is dependant on the implementations of the interconnected operators. In case of incoming sessions from other IP networks, and in case an IB...

11 Mode of operation
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
11.1 General Principles
Emulating PSTN/ISDN services using the IMS-based PES architecture described in the present document assumes that the logic of the service to be emulated resides in one or more application servers rather than in the AGCF or in gateways. Emulating most PSTN supplementary services requires that at least one Application Se...

11.2 Service Provisioning
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
11.2.1 Provisioning in the UPSF
The service profile of PES users is stored in the UPSF as for any other type of user. Appropriate filter criteria are set to ensure that PES-enabled Application Servers are involved in the processing of calls from/to PES-users. Setting these criteria does not require any specific service point trigger beyond those used...
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
11.2.2 Provisioning in the AGCF
The following IMS parameters are assumed to be available, for every line, in a local data base of the AGCF: - private user identities; - public user identities; - home network domain names; - address of the AS to be used for service configuration management (for use over the Ut reference point); and NOTE: Some of the l...
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
11.3 Registration
Registration and deregistration procedures are initiated by Voice over IP gateways (A-VGW and R-VGW) at the Gm reference point on behalf of each line or group of lines it serves. The rest of the procedures are identical in the PES and IMS subsystems. Registration and deregistration procedures are initiated by the AGCF ...
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
11.4 Service code commands
Users of analog terminals usually manage supplementary services using service code commands using the syntax defined in ETS 300 738 [10], clause 6.1.1. The AGCF has the necessary service independent logic to determine whether a special dial tone needs to be delivered after the service prefix. In case dial tone needs to...

12 AGCF behaviour
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
12.1 AGCF components
The AGCF can be decomposed into three logical components: • The Media Gateway Controller. • The Feature Manager. • The IMS Agent. Figure 8 provides an overview of the AGCF logical structure. ETSI ETSI TS 182 012 V2.1.4 (2008-03) 25 Session Processing Registration Processing Event Subscription /Notification CLF NASS AGC...
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
12.2 Media Gateway Controller
The Media Gateway Controller component performs the following functions: • keep track of the media gateway state (e.g. registration/deregistration); • keep track of the line state (e.g. idle, active, parked, out of service, etc.); • control the connection configuration (media flows topology and directionality) in media...
b708cbb24b9b1d04a3865f5f2ea8c6ab
182 012
12.3 Feature Manager
The Feature Manager is the functional block in AGCF that provides the coordination between the IMS core and the Media Gateways. For that, it holds a call and connection model that associate lines to call states and IMS dialogs. Figure 9 shows a call and connection configuration where an analogue line is connected to tw...

12.4 IMS Agent
The IMS agent encompasses the functionality of an IMS UE and P-CSCF. It communicates with other IMS entities using the SIP profile described in ES 283 003 [4]. The following functionality is implemented in the IMS agent: • Send/receive messages to/from the IMS entities. The received messages are sent to the Feature Man...
