IMS – The future of Fixed Mobile ConvergenceEduCause Walt Magnussen Ph.D. 12 October, 2010
Current Situation • Landline • Fixed device (with the exception of nomadic VoIP devices • Dedicated telephone number • Voice Mail often with Unified messaging • Usually not location aware • Cellular Phone • Mobile device • Dedicated telephone number • Voice Mail without Unified messaging • Location aware
Early attempts at FMC • PBX control – trombone trunked • SS7 gateways (Tango networks) • Carrier provided
Cellular networks working through the generations • 1G – Analog Voice only • 2G – GSM, CDMA, up to 20 Kbps Voice and Data • 2.5G CDMA2000, EDGE, GPRS up to 384 Kbps. Web browsing, MMDS, location services • 3.0G CDMA 2000 and 3000, UMTS up to 3.1 Mbps. Full motion video, streamed video, 3D gaming
4G networking WiMax – Sprint Limited markets now LTE – AT&Tand Verizon Wireless begin 2010 Bandwidth 100+ Mpbs Applications - All of the above Plus: High quality video streaming High quality video conferencing High quality Voice Over IP 4G is built upon IMS architecture
IP Multimedia Subsystem • Developed by 3GPPP • Uses SIP signaling • FMC is based upon concept of Home and Visiting networks
IMS Advantages • Application Integration • QoS • Authentication sharing
IMS Nodes • SIP Proxies • S-CSCF – Network Controlling Proxy • P-CSCF – Border SIP Proxy • I-CSCF - Interrogating SIP Proxy • Location nodes • HSS Function of HLR and VLR • SLF – Maps current IP address to User/Application.
IMS nodes continued • Gateway nodes • BGCF – Border Gateway Control Function • MGCF – Media Gateway Control Function • MGW – Media Gateway • SGW – Signaling Gateway • Media Control • MRFC – Media Control • MRFP – Media Proxy
IMS nodes continued • Application Servers (can either be home or visiting network • SIP AS • OSA-CSC • IM-SSF
Examples of Applications • Carrier • GPS Directions • On line games • Video on Demand • University • Blackboard access • Emergency Notification • Library and other controlled access systems • VoIP over campus WiFi
Integration of Systems • Campus Presence Server with HSS • Campus VoIP Proxy with Wireless network • One number dialing • Integration of Voice Mail Systems • Direct campus access to billing systems • Negotiating QoS
Preparing your campus for IMS • Consider DAS system (if appropriate) • Student/Faculty discount programs with carriers • Understand the architecture and ready applications for access
The future of Emergency Communications • FCC Initiatives • CSRIC - Traffic Prioritization, CAP and other working groups • ERIC – Public private integration of 700 MhZ LTE services • ESI Net initiatives- • It’s more than 911 • Campuses will connect • It will probably be IPV6 only
TAMU ITEC Projects • NSF GOALI solicitation • Proposing IU-CRC March of 2011 • Network project with Verizon Wireless • Hope to start in June of 2010 • Stay tuned for more information
