Introduction • Wireless is moving into broadband: - 3G, 4G mobile networks - WLAN - DVB-H - WIMAX • How to make maximum use of these systems?
Technology progress • Broadband wireless media technology is behind the corner: • 3G ONBOARD • 4G ONBOARD • WLAN ONBOARD • ALL INTEGRATED ONBOARD
Wireless networks WLAN OTHER 3G-4G Mobile IEEE 802.11a+b+g +n Other
System reqirements • Operator wants efficient resource management: transmission coverage and cost • User wants minimized cost of access and seamless operation
Seamless challenge • Seamless changeover (handover) between the systems is technical challenge • Heterogenous networks may not be synchronised, even content stream may not be identical (e.g. different compression ratios)
Gateways and managers • The changeover problem can be solved by embedding gateways on the network side and/or managers on the terminal side Multisystem terminals for 3G+WLAN will have severe limitations on power consumption
Handover requirements • Seamless means perfect stream splicing • This can be done when streams are aligned in buffers and synchronized • In general time stamps and bitrates may not be identical
Gateways and managers DVB-H TERMINAL MANAGER NETWORK GATEWAY WLAN 3G In case of operator controlled networks gateway ensures synchronization. In heterogenous networks terminal performs synchronization and handover
FUTURE MOBILE SYSTEM • IS BROADBAND FOR MULTIMEDIA • IT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE NETWORK TYPES (3G, WLAN, 4G….) • IT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE OPERATION MODES: UNICAST, MULITCAST, BROADCAST, MULTISTREAMING THE SYSTEM IS IP PROTOCOL BASED !
MOBILE DATA BANDWIDTH • FUTURE MOBILE SYSTEM WILL HAVE DATA BANDWIDTH IN MEGABITS/SECOND 3G - 1-10 Mb/s 4G - 10-50 Mb/s WLAN - 1- 100 Mb/s
THE FUTURE MOBILE SYSTEM • THE FUTURE MOBILE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE IS DEVELOPED THE STANDARD IS CALLED IMS (Internet Multimedia Subsystem) It is developed as an extension of 3G mobile standard (release 5,6) by 3GPP (www.3gpp.org) and IETF (www.ietf.org)
THE IMS • The IMS is based on SIP protocol This allows setup of most complex multimedia sessions
The IMS basic idea • The basic idea of IMS is integration of telephone CS (Circuit Switched) network and IP network running in wireless systems 3G version In USA Radio access in 3G. 4G
User capabilities in IMS • The IMS extends widely the capabilities of current systems as regards the usage of the system • User may have two types of addresses: phone and Internet • Users may have multiple identities: work and private in same equipment • Users may have multiple terminals with different capabilities
Mobile IP – Short Overview Key aspect of wireless networks is mobility. Mobility is realized in cellular systems based CS but it can be also realized in IP systems. Here we provide short overview of IP mobility. This does not mean it is realized in the IMS. IMS can use standard mobility realized in cellular systems.
Mobile IP Key Principles The Wireless Internet is an IP-centric & mobility-enabled network: • IP addresses are used for all routing within the core network • IP protocols and technologies are used in the control plane • The network is functionally equivalent to a traditional cellular network (especially with respect to mobility and roaming)
IP Mobility focuses on Layer 3 of the core network: Mobility functions are independent of the access technology (2G, 3G, wire line, etc.) and the underlying network transport technology (ATM, Ethernet, etc.) Mobile IP Key Principles Mobility is based on the user, not the terminal: • Users will have a single subscription in a home network • Service Level Agreements (SLA’ s) must exist between all networks users will roam in
Mobile Node (MN): laptop, mobile phone, communicator,..etc • Home Agent (HA): router of the home network • Foreign Agent(FA): router of the foreign network Mobile IP Components
Mobile IP Components (MN) (FA) (HA)
Agent Discovery • Registration • Routing How Mobile IP works
1- HA’s and FA’s: periodically advertise their presence on their subnets by broadcasting agent advertisements 2-MN Listen: Am I on my home sub net or I am visiting some other subnet? OR 1- MN sends an agent solicitation 2- Any agent on the subnet is forced to send an immediate advertisement Agent Discovery
MN determines that it is connected to an (FA) acquires a care of address • Care of Address: and IP address given to the MN by the FA (exit point of the tunnel from HA to FA) Agent Discovery
MN recieved the care of address: register it with the HA • HA creats a mobility binding table • HA advertises reachability to the home IP address of MN • Example: a device connected to the internet called corresponding node (CN) sends a packet to MN, how it will reach MN? CN HA FA MN • power down or go back to home sub net: MN will deregister • HA reclaims MN through tunnel Registration

Roaming in IMS Usser can roam in the CS (circuit switched) and IMS in different Combinations (being in CS directed to IMS and opposite)
Acronyms in the IMS scheme • CSCF Call Session Control Function • PDF Policy Decision Function • BGCF Breakout Gateway Control Function • MRFC Mutlimedia Resource Function Controller • MRFP Multimedia Resource Function Processor • MGCF Multimedia Gateway Control Function • MGW Multimedia Gateway Function • SGW Signalling Gateway • SEG Security Gateway • SGSN Serving GPRS Support Node • GGSN Gateway GPRS Support Node • IMMGW Internet Multimedia Gateway
HSS – Home Subscriber Server HSS has functions for CS and PS networks: Home Location Register HLR with Authentication Center AUC
Signalling conversion in SGW Protocols from IMS domain (SIP) have to be converted to the CS domain
IMS Architecture Some reference points: Gm – connection of UE to IMS (for SIP) Mw – connection between CSCF’s Cx – subscriber and service data Dx – connection to SLF (Sub. Locator Func. RAN – Radio Access Network SLP – Subscription Locator Function UE – User Equipment
Conclusion IMS is a complicated system satisfying all possible multimedia requirements IMS will coexist with CS system At some point in the future all-IP systems may by used exclusively
