PDC9799 - The NVS Session Continuity Anchor functionality
general description
The Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS) is
originally an IMS-based mechanisms for enabling service continuity of
multimedia sessions, but it implemented for standalone mode also.
Access transfer functionality of NVS is responsible of the transfer of one or
more media paths of an ongoing SIP session on one UE between PS to CS
access; or transfer at the SIP level of both the signaling and the media path
of an ongoing SIP session on a UE between different IP-CANs.
For NVS the access transfer means that the access leg between the SIP UE
and the NVS is replaced by a new access leg coming from:
CS MSS Server through MGCF (Dual Radio VCC)
SR-VCC enhanced MSC Server
different IP CAN (LTE, 2G, 3G, Broadband xDSL)
Currently only the PS to CS access transfer functionality is supported with
both SR-VCC and dual radio VCC scenarios. It is not possible to execute CS
to PS back-transfer or PS to PS transfer between different access types (IP
CANs).

Licenses, PRFILE

SCC-AS (access transfer) functionality could activated

with a new ON/OFF license:
License 3725 – Session Transfer supported

Two controlling PRFILE:

PRFILE SIP_WAIT_ACC_TRAN_START (052:0109)
PRFILE SIP_SRVCC_REEST_TIME (052:0108)

New group profile parameter controls the functionality for subscribers:

ZJHM:0,:::::SESSTRANS=T

EOS Attribute Analysis
Call control would be able to recognise the session transfer
Two different cases:
STN Session Transfer Number CAUSE=43
STN-SR Session Transfer Number – Single Radio CAUSE=44

Creating analises results (for the two diff. case end one for def.):
ZRQK:SSTM43,STOP:CAUSE=43,;
ZRQK:SSTM44,STOP:CAUSE=44,;
ZRQK:SSTNOEFF,STOP:CAUSE=C01,;
Create EOS attribute analises:
ZRQC:EOS,SSTRANS,START:DIG=12345,TON=NAT,NBR=CDNBR:RES=SSTM43,
DEFRES=SSTNOEFF;
ZRQM:EOS,SSTRANS,ADD:DIG=54321,TON=NAT,RES=SSTM44:;
Move EOS Attribute analises to normal side:
ZRQN:EOS,TN,SSTRANS:;

Detailed Use Cases

• Ongoing Session under LTE, INVITE request arrived from

MGCF with STN number (ST request from subscriber_1), ST
started and executed.

• After session transfere is finished from NVS`s point of view,

Re-establisment is initiated from the old leg with a re-invite,
whithin the re-establisment time. Re-establish started, cs-ps
transfer cancelled.

Detailed description: PS-CS access transfer (SR-
VCC and dual radio VCC)
There are 5 main parts in the PS-CS access transfer process:

•Start: receiving the triggering message, determining the

access transfer case
•Get IMSI (optional for standalone mode): getting the IMSI of
the transfer initiator
•Get target and release: getting the target call (ZS4 CPC hand)
and releasing non-selected calls
•Transfer: executing the access transfer
•End: closing the old access leg, reporting to statistics and
charging
