An overall objective for this feasibility study is to demonstrate that CAMEL control of VoIP services in 3G networks can be readily specified and implemented by adapting standards and software used in 2G networks. This approach leads to services that function the same when a user roams between 2G and 3G networks, simpl...

7.5 CAMEL Integration
Integration of CAMEL functions with H.323 Gatekeeper functions may require enhancements to H.323 standards or CAMEL standards. Some initial work has been done to identify the standards that may need to be enhanced and to assess the extent of the changes required.

Section 7.4 describes and illustrates how H.225 messages may be mapped to O_BCSM and T_BCSM Detection Points (DPs) at the Gatekeeper/SSF.

The IETF Multiparty Multimedia Session Control (MMUSIC) working group specifies an IP telephony architecture (Figure 15). The architecture is seen as an alternative to ITU-T H.323 family of recommendations that is simpler to implement. It allows for the possibility of interworking with H.323 terminals. However, H.323...

8.2.1 Introduction
This section of the report provides information flows that illustrate the possible interaction of CAMEL and SIP. In particular it provides a proposal for the triggering of CAMEL services as well as a mapping between the CAMEL call states and the call states of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). An overall objective...

8.2.2 Functional Architecture
The proposed functional architecture is derived from various companion contributions relating to the technical report. It is provided here for completeness. The concept of the ‘IPSSF’ is introduced which acts as an overlay between the IP telephony call control and the Intelligent Network layer provided by the CAMEL Ser...

8.2.3 Basic concept of the proposal
Subscribers may register in the visited SIP network allowing the subscriber to receive incoming calls. A subscriber may use the MSISDN as an additional identifier in the registration process. Upon registration with the server, the CAMEL subscription information for the subscriber is sent to the IPSSF by the HLR in the ...

8.2.4 Assumptions
a. All the call flows show that the SIP Proxy Server and the IPSSF have been co-located in order to avoid showing an information flows between the two entities. Standardisation of the messages for this interface is for further study. b. The attach/detach and establishment of the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) session are b...

8.3.1 Proposed Registration process
This section outlines a possible registration process based on the SIP REGISTER method, which allows CAMEL subscription information to be stored in the SIP Proxy Server/IPSSF. IETF RFC 2543 [4] defines the term Registrar for registration purposes and it is the SIP registrar that accepts the REGISTER method. In this sec...

8.3.2 Mobile Originating Call with CAMEL interaction
This section deals with the mobile originating calls that require interaction with CAMEL. The call flows are shown in Figure 22 and are further explained below: {1} The MS wishes to place a VoIP call. A PDP context is established to allow an IP session to be established over the GPRS network. {2} The User Agent Server ...

8.3.3 Mobile Terminating Call with CAMEL interaction
This section deals with the CAMEL interaction for mobile terminated calls. A CAMEL service is triggered if the triggering criteria held in the called subscriber’s T-CSI matches the characteristics of the incoming call. The information flows are shown in Figure 23 and further explained below: {1} The terminating SIP Pro...

8.4.1 Mapping SIP message to CAMEL Basic Call State Models
This section deals with how the Originating Basic Call State Model (O-BCSM) Points in Call (PICs) and Detection Points (DPs) or ‘triggers’ are mapped to the appropriate SIP messages. Although a mapping is possible, there is not always the same analogy between the circuit switched environment that the CAMEL BCSM were de...

8.4.2 Mapping to Originating BCSM for MO calls
The mapping between the SIP methods and responses for O-BCSM relating to Mobile Originating Calls are shown in Figure 24. Only the successful case is described. Further work is necessary to describe all other scenarios. The information flows are further described below : {1} INVITE method arrives at the proxy server, i...

8.4.3 Terminating BCSM for MT Calls
The mapping between the SIP methods and responses for T-BCSM and Mobile Terminating Call is shown in Figure 25. The information flows further described below : {1} INVITE method arrives at the destination SIP Proxy server. Server/IPSSF determines if a T-CSI exists for the called user {2} T-CSI is analysed and if necess...

This subsection explores the mapping and the reporting of the DPs that may be encountered when the call is not successfully established. The information flows are shown in Figure 26 and further explained below: {1} INVITE method arrives at the destination SIP proxy server. Server/IPSSF determines is a T-CSI exists for ...

8.5 CAMEL Integration
Integration of CAMEL functions with SIP Proxy Server functions may require enhancements to SIP standards or CAMEL standards. Some initial work has been done to identify the standards that may need to be enhanced and to assess the extent of the changes required.

8.5.1 Impact on SIP Standards
Section 8.4 describes and illustrates how SIP messages may be mapped to O_BCSM and T_BCSM Detection Points (DPs) at the SIP Proxy Server/SSF. When studying the Figures it can be seen that some CAMEL Phase 3 DPs (such as O_Active) have good correspondence with SIP messages at the SIP Proxy Server, while other DPs requir...

8.5.2 Impact on CAMEL and other UMTS Standards
It is likely that some functional modelling additions and some CAP message information element additions will be needed. It is also likely that some HLR/VLR data and MAP protocol additions may be needed. It is of course very difficult to assess and describe exactly how much effort and meeting time is required to effect...

8.6 Service Impacts
The combination of CAMEL and SIP (as described in this report) may support some GSM supplementary services, such as unconditional call forwarding (subject to some re-engineering) and perhaps most operator specific services (depends on the extent of any reduced functionality necessary for integration). Every service nee...

8.7 Multimedia Evolution
The proposal in this report is focused on voice not multimedia. Control of multimedia services requires further study. However, the proposal does not in any way preclude CAMEL evolution to control multimedia services supported by SIP. It is likely that further enhancements to the protocols and functions listed in secti...

8.8 Advantages
The following advantages have been identified:  Maximises the re-use of existing functional entities, protocols and services. Such reuse decreases the development and ownership costs allowing existing familiar 2G services to be provided to 3G subscribers at an early stage. Minimum changes to the CSE for the support of...

The following disadvantages have been identified:  This approach is not in line with the work currently underway in ETSI SPAN 3 (Services and Protocols), in particular a work item addressing IN support for voice over IP on the H.323 architecture and associated protocols in association with the TIPHON project.  Introd...
