Overview

The E-CSCF and EATF may reside within the P-CSCF to support Emergency and related SRVCC procedures. Sonus provides the P-CSCF, E-CSCF, and EATF functions on the SBC and partner with IMS core and LRF or ECS vendors for complete solution.

Emergency Session Transfer Number for SRVCC (E-STN-SR) isused in the session transfer procedure for emergency calls, pointing toward the serving (visited if roaming) IMS EATF, which handles the IMS emergency session transfer from PS to CS access. The same E-STN-SR is used for all the emergency session access transfers within one PLMN.

As per standards, either E-STN-SR is configured locally in MME and transferred to MSC or MME sends an Emergency indication to MSC and lets MSC to utilize its local configured E-STN-SR. This means in an IMS core network we need to have a single EATF running which is serving that PLMN so that all the MSC servers in that region are going to point to same EATF for PS to CS handover.

High Level Functionality

At a high level, the functions performed by the EATF are:

  • Serves as a VLR while roaming in IMS network.
  • Provides the procedures for IMS emergency session anchoring and PS to CS Access Transfer.
  • Acts as a routing B2BUA which invokes third party call control (3pcc) to enable Access Transfer.
  • Performs the session continuity when the Access Transfer request indicated by the E-STN-SR is received.

Call Flows

The following call-flow depicts the call anchoring at EATF when the initial call is made over PS domain:

1Initial Call Over PS domain

A brief description of the call flow is as follows:

  1. UE sends an INVITE with Emergency URN to P-CSCF.
  2. P-CSCF detects the call as Emergency call based on Emergency URN (SoS URN) and forwards the call to E-CSCF.
  3. E-CSCF forwards the call EATF. E-CSCF adds two Route headers – one pointing to EATF and another pointing itself (E-CSCF).
  4. EATF anchors the call and acts as a B2BUA. Sonus EATF deletes the top-most Route header pointing to itself and anchors the emergency session.
  5. Sonus EATF loops back the call towards E-CSCF based on the top route header (that points E-CSCF) from the remaining route header list.
  6. E-CSCF forwards it to PSAP.
    In the remaining steps, the 200 OK SIP response is forwarded as appropriate.

The following call-flow depicts the PS to CS handover of an emergency call that was anchored at EATF:

1PS CS Handover Emergency Call

A brief description of the call flow is as follows:

  1. Initial call is established over PS domain and the call is anchored at EATF.
  2. After the UE moves from LTE to 2G/3G domain, based on the UE measurement reports, E-UTRAN decides to trigger PS to CS handover procedures.
  3. MSC sends an INVITE with Request-URI pointing to E-STN-SR.
  4. I-CSCF routes the INVITE with E-STN-SR to EATF.
  5. EATF handles the INVITE with E-STN-SR locally and initiates re-INVITE towards the remote peer. The re-INVITE contains the SDP pointing to MSC so that a media path is established between remote peer and calling party (via MSC).

  The EATF clears the old-access-leg towards UE-A after the handover procedures are successful.
