8.2 Haptics media integration in IMS architecture. p. 30
8.2.1 Overview. p. 30
To support the use-cases in clause 5 for IMS based services (MTSI, and IBACS), the existing IMS architecture is not modified. Existing functions and API are reused to enable haptic enhanced IMS based real time communication.
Figure 8.2.1-1, illustrates the haptic media functionalities in the MTSI client defined in Figure 4.2 of TS 26.114 which is similar to Figure 4.2.1 of the AR-MTSI client of TS 26.264.

8.2.2 Network functions and UE entities p. 31
For MTSI, TS 26.114 the network functions such as the MRFP and MGW may handle haptics media similarly to other media for supplemental services.
Referring to Figure 4.3.1 of TS 26.264, Generalized IMS DC Architecture to support AR communication, the AR AS, the IMS AD and the MF/MRD handles haptics media similarly to video or speech media.
