3 Definitions and abbreviations Word‑p. 8
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply:
Application Server Incoming Leg Control Model (AS-ILCM):
models AS behaviour for handling SIP information for an incoming leg.
Application Server information (AS-info):
AS-info contains individualized information concerning one particular Application Server entry.
This information contains e.g. Application Server Address (clause 6.9.2.1) and it's corresponding Default IP Multimedia Handling information (clause 6.9.2.2).
Application Server Outgoing Leg Control Model (AS-OLCM):
models AS behaviour for handling SIP information for an outgoing leg.
Combined ILSM OLSM - Incoming/outgoing Leg State Model:
models the behaviour of an S-CSCF for handling SIP messages on an incoming and outgoing session leg.
Filter Criteria (FC):
the information which the S-CSCF receives from the HSS or the AS that defines the relevant SPTs for a particular application.
They define the subset of SIP requests received by the S-CSCF that should be sent or proxied to a particular application.
Incoming Leg Control Model (ILCM):
models the behaviour of an S-CSCF for handling SIP information sent to and received from an AS for an incoming session leg.
Initial Filter Criteria (iFC):
filter criteria that are stored in the HSS as part of the user profile and are downloaded to the S-CSCF upon user registration.
They represent a provisioned subscription of a user to an application.
Initial Request:
a SIP request that either initiates the creation of a new dialog or is part of a standalone transaction.
IP Multimedia Service Switching Function (IM-SSF):
functional entity that interfaces SIP to CAP.
IP Multimedia CAMEL Subscription Information (IM-CSI):
identifies the subscriber as having IP Multimedia CAMEL services.
IP Multimedia session:
IP Multimedia session and IP Multimedia call are treated as equivalent in the present document.
Original Dialog Identifier:
an indication that the S-CSCF includes in a Route header for itself when sending requests to an AS. When the AS returns this indication in a Route header of a message sent to the S-CSCF, the S-CSCF uses it to associate the message with the previous request sent by the S-CSCF (i.e. the original SIP dialog).
Originating IP Multimedia CAMEL Subscription Information (O-IM-CSI):
identifies the subscriber as having originating IP Multimedia CAMEL services.
Outgoing Leg Control Model (OLCM):
models the behaviour of an S-CSCF for handling SIP information received from and sent to an AS for an outgoing session leg.
Private User Identity:
a unique global identity defined by the Home Network Operator, as defined in TS 23.228.
Public User Identity:
the public user identity/identities are used by any user for requesting communications to other users and are in the form of a SIP URL or TEL URL as defined in TS 23.228.
Served User:
The served user is the public user identity, for which the IM CN subsystem handles the call. For an origination call leg the served user is the user for which a UE or AS originates the call for. For a terminating call leg the served user is the user for which a UE or an AS terminates the call for.
Service Key:
the Service Key identifies to the Application Server the service logic that shall apply.
The Service Key is administered by the HPLMN. For CAMEL services, the Service Key is an element of the CAMEL Subscription Information (CSI).
Service Point Trigger (SPT):
the points in the SIP signalling that may cause the S-CSCF to send/proxy the SIP message to an SIP AS/OSA SCS/IM-SSF.
The subset of all possible SPTs which are relevant to a particular application are defined by means of Filter Criteria.
Service Platform Trigger Points (STP):
the points in the SIP signalling that instruct the SIP AS, OSA SCS and IM-SSF to trigger the service logic.
For the IM-SSF the IP Multimedia Camel Subscriber Information (IM-CSI) defines them.
Subsequent Filter Criteria (sFC):
filter criteria that are signalled from the SIP AS/OSA SCS/IM-SSF to the S-CSCF.
They allow for dynamic definition of the relevant SPTs at application execution time.
Subsequent Request:
a SIP request which is part of an existing dialog. This also includes target refresh requests as defined in RFC 3261.
Standalone Transaction:
a SIP transaction that is not part of an existing dialog and does not initiate the creation of a new dialog.
Terminating IP Multimedia CAMEL Subscription Information (T-IM-CSI):
identifies the subscriber as having terminating IP Multimedia CAMEL services.
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions given in TS 23.228, subclause 4.13 apply:
