1  Scopep. 10

The scope of this document is to study IMS architecture enhancements to support new real time communication services based on requirements of e.g. eMMTEL and 5G_MEDIA_MTSI_ext.
The study in this document includes the following aspects:
  1. Study the enhancement of IMS architecture and procedures to support Data Channel usage in IMS network, including whether and which functionalities are defined in IMS architecture for Data Channel server, with separate control plane and media plane, and Data Channel application repository, which procedures are needed between Data channel server and IMS AS to support call event notifications.
  2. Study whether and how IMS architecture and functions are supported for the requirements from SA WG1 Rel-18 eMMTEL WID impacts:
    • to support AR telephony communication.
    • to support 3rd party to verify via operator network that the caller is authorized to use or reference specific identity information which can be securely signalled to the callee when placing a call.
  3. Study whether and which IMS media control interfaces can be potentially applied for service based architecture, supporting both existing capabilities and new capabilities for possible new applications and efficient media processing.

3  Definitions of terms and abbreviationsp. 11

3.1  Termsp. 11

For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in TR 21.905, in TS 23.501 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 or in TS 23.501.
Application data channel:
It is used to transfer data of data channel applications between the UEs or between the UE and the network. The application data channel should be established only after the application has been downloaded. As specified in TS 26.114, the stream ID for application data channel can be integers starting from 1000.
AR Application Server:
It is used to control the service logic related to AR communication. The functional definition of the AR Application Server is out of scope of 3GPP.
Bootstrap data channel:
It is used to transfer data channel application list and data channel applications between the UE and the network. The bootstrap data channel is based on HTTP protocol. As specified in TS 26.114, the stream ID for bootstrap data channel can be integers below 1000.
Data channel application:
The HTML web content includes JavaScript(s), and optionally image(s) and style sheet(s). It is accessible at the HTTP root ("/") URL through a bootstrap data channel and describes the graphical user interface and the interactive service logic.
DC Application Server:
It interacts with DCSF and DC media function (either DCMF or enhanced MRF) for data channel traffic handling in P2A/A2P scenario. The functional definition of the DC Application Server is out of scope of 3GPP.
Ms reference point:
This reference point is used to request signing of an Identity header field or request verification of a signed assertion in an Identity header field.
Secure Telephone Identity Authentication Service (STI-AS):
The SIP application server that performs the function of the authentication service defined in IETF RFC 8224 [18].
Secure Telephone Identity Verification Service (STI-VS):
The SIP application server that performs the function of the verification service defined in IETF RFC 8224 [18].
