Excerpt

The SBC can be deployed on the Access Edge and Peering Edge in an IMS/VoLTE network. On the Access Edge, the functional roles include: P-CSCF (IMS-AGW), E-CSCF, ATCF (ATGW) and EATF. On the Peering Edge the functional roles include: IBCF (TrGW).

The Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) is the first point of contact in an IMS network. It is responsible for security associations towards the UE. At the time of UE registration, it inserts itself into the path so that it is in the signaling path for all subsequent messages. P-CSCF determines whether the UE is roaming or not. For a non-roaming UE that is, a UE in the home network, it forwards the registration messages towards the I-CSCF and directly contacts the S-CSCF for all subsequent messages. For a roaming UE, it selects a peering SBC (that is, IBCF) and forwards the SIP messages (including registration, call-related and non-call-related) towards the same.

1Basic Registration Call Flow


The call flow description forFigure 2 is as follows:

  1. Sonus SBC acting as an A-SBC, receives REGISTER request from UE.
  2. Sonus SBC processes the REGISTER request. It acts as a B2BUA and changes Contact header to point itself and forwards the REGISTER request towards P-CSCF. Sonus SBC does not insert a Path header as (external) P-CSCF does not expect a Path header from UE.
  3. P-CSCF forwards REGISTER towards I/S-CSCF. P/I/S-CSCF responds to the REGISTER with 200 OK.
  4. Sonus SBC stores Path and Service-Route headers and forwards these headers transparently towards UE. It also processes, stores, and passes the P-Associated-URI header that is present in the 200 OK.

1Originating Call from UE

The call flow description for the Figure 3 is as follows:

  1. Sonus SBC, acting as an A-SBC, receives INVITE request from UE.
  2. Sonus SBC forwards the INVITE towards the same P-CSCF to whom REGISTER was forwarded based on the local configuration,
    • The egress INVITE contains Route headers that point to P-CSCF (which is the next-hop stored in RCB) and Service-Route header(s) received in 200 OK to REGISTER.
    • It is noted that Sonus SBC does not support to apply default PUI procedures as P-CSCF function is not co-located and instead an external P-CSCF is present.
