Dan Warren Senior Director of Technology, GSMA Letting LTE Find its Voice
The Voice challenge for LTE • LTE is an all-IP mobile network • No support for ‘traditional’ CS domain voice • New Voice and SMS solutions required • CSFB, VoLGA, ‘One Voice’ • The risk – industry fragmentation • Poor customer experience • No common implementation • Economies of scale are lost • The Reality – the industry knows where it is going • GSMA Voice over LTE (VoLTE) backed by 3GPP, NGMN, IMTC… • Massive backing from operator and vendor community. • ‘Migratory solutions’ filling the gap between LTE launch and IMS deployment for some operators.
Target solution - GSMA VoLTE • GSMA VoLTE – the industry solution for Voice over LTE • Based on 3GPP IMS specifications • Defines ‘minimum required functional set for voice service equivalent to that experienced today’ • GSMA adopted work of ‘One Voice’ on January 8th 2010; announced VoLTE 15th February 2010. • UNI published on 27th April 2010 • NNI for interconnect documented during June 2010 • GSMA now working on Roaming Architecture
Completing the work • GSMA Working Groups with expertise in • inter-network charging • interoperability with existing systems • handover from IMS to CS domain • Interconnectivity models • Interaction with other industry bodies • You can be involved! volte@gsm.org www.gsmworld.com/volte
