1  Scopep. 10

IP Multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem inter-UE transfer (IUT) provides the capability of continuing ongoing communication sessions with multiple media across different user equipments (UEs) under the control of the same or different subscribers, and as part of Service Continuity (SC).
The present document provides the protocol details for enabling IMS inter-UE transfer based on the Session Initiation protocol (SIP) and the Session Description Protocol (SDP).
The present document is applicable to User Equipment (UEs) and Application Servers (AS).

4  Overview of IP Multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem inter-UE transferp. 13

4.1  Generalp. 13

Inter-UE transfer provides the capability of transferring the communication sessions with multiple media across different UEs and is part of Service Continuity (SC) as described in TS 23.237.
Inter-UE transfer does not apply to emergency calls as described in TS 24.229.
Inter-UE transfer is an optional part of SC.
The following procedures are provided within this document:
  • procedures for UE discovery for inter-UE transfer are specified in clause 9;
  • procedures for inter-UE transfer without establishment of collaborative session are specified in clause 10;
  • procedures for collaborative session establishment for inter-UE transfer are specified in clause 11;
  • procedures for media transfer within collaborative session for inter-UE transfer are specified in clause 12;
  • procedures for release of collaborative session for inter-UE transfer in clause 13;
  • procedures for addition and deletion of media with collaborative session for inter-UE transfer in clause 14;
  • procedures for session discovery in clause 15;
  • procedures for collaborative sessions of participants of different subscriptions are specified in clause 16;
  • procedures for establishment of collaborative sessions during session setup are specified in clause 17;
  • procedures for assignment and transfer of control of a collaborative session are specified in clause 18;
  • procedures for media flow transfer within a collaborative session are specified in clause 19;
  • procedures for session replication / media replication performed by the SCC AS are specified in clause 20;
  • procedures for session replication / media replication performed by the remote UE are specified in clause 21;
  • procedures for collaborative session handling upon loss of collaborative session are specified in clause 22;
  • procedures for collaborative session media modification are specified in clause 23; and
  • procedures for service continuity and MMTEL interactions are specified in clause 24.
    Inter-UE transfer procedures are not limited by amount of established sessions.

4.2  Underlying network capabilitiesp. 14

Inter-UE transfer assumes the use of a number of underlying network capabilities:
  1. provision by the home network operator of SCC AS on the IM CN subsystem, as specified in TS 24.229.

4.3  URI and address assignmentsp. 14

In order to support SC to a subscriber, the following URI and address assignments are assumed:
  1. in this version of the document, the SC UE for inter-UE transfer will be configured with an Inter UE Transfer SCC AS URI. The Inter UE Transfer SCC AS URI is used in the inter UE transfer procedures.

5  Functional entitiesp. 15

5.1  Introductionp. 15

This clause associates the functional entities with the inter-UE transfer roles described in the stage 2 architecture document (see TS 23.237).

5.2  User Equipment (UE)p. 15

If the SC UE supports the Controller UE procedures for IUT transfer then the SC UE may include the g.3gpp.iut-controller media feature tag as described in annex B in the Contact header of SIP requests and SIP responses.
To be compliant with inter-UE transfer in this document, a UE shall implement the role of an SC UE:
