H.323 Mobility Overview Narjala Bhasker Intel Corporation narjala.bhasker@intel.com
What is the mobility problem? • Terminal Mobility • User Mobility • Service Mobility • Interworking
Terminal Mobility • Uninterrupted service as a result of communications problems caused by terminal movement • Resilience to radio channel impairments • Smooth handover from one radio cell site to another • Recovering from change of IP address as a result of a network point of attachment changing • Recovering from a change of serving gatekeeper • Handover and roaming must both be supported • Handover: changes during a call • Roaming: changes between calls
User Mobility • A user must have access to all subscribed services independent of the terminal used • User login • User profile • Separate terminal authentication
Service Mobility • A user must be able to access all subscribed services even if he is served by a different network than his home network
H.323 Mobile Network New H.246 New Out of Scope New Mobile H.323 PSTN New Interworking
Internet H.323 to PLMN* Interworking *PLMN = Public Land Mobile Network Mobile H.323 Gateway • Mobile subscribers can access all services from an IP network • Voice calls, voice mail notification, short message service Mobile Network H.323 Phone Looks like Cell site from PLMN (e.g., MSC,VLR) Looks like PSTN Gateway (H.323 GW/GK) from H.323 network
H.323 Mobility Technical Issues • Is mobility management an application issue or a network issue? • Rely on the radio link layer for error control? • Rely on mobile IP for operation after IP address change? • How much integration is required with the various PLMNs (ANSI 41, GSM, PDC, …) • Common user and terminal identification?
Status • H.323 Annexes to be defined for mobility • Annex I: Deals with radio channel impairments • Annex J: Control protocols for terminal, user and service mobility • Terms of Reference being finalized • Probable ITU “determination” late 2000 • H.323-PLMN interworking may happen earlier
