Introduction IMS Drivers IMS Architecture IMS Procedures IMS Applications Summary
What is IMS?
IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a new model
defining the control layer of Next Generation Networks (NGN)
IMS aims to provide packet-oriented multimedia

services for next generation IP-based mobile networks
IMS provides a flexible architecture for the rapid

deployment of innovative features
With IMS, media control, session control and

application control are separated as distinct entities
IMS enables users to communicate with video /

voice / text via a single client on the handset

End User Expectations
Yesterday
End users primarily made voice calls and sent SMSes with their GSM phones

Today
End users are developing a taste for MMS and simple mobile internet services, which require GPRS phones
What is NEW with GPRS for consumers? GPRS is faster (9,6 kbps -> >100 kbps; today 40kbps) Possibility to use data services

Near Future End users will expect high performance mobile internet access and integrated services accessible via single-sign-on with a personalized service portal, which require UMTS/Edge devices
What is NEW with EDGE/UMTS/IMS for consumers? UMTS is (9,6 kbps -> 64, 144, 384 kbps, 2 Mbps)
Integrated Multimedia Services plus parallel sessions


Seamless Services from a User Perspective (e.g. integration of IM and PTT)

(MS, AOL, ...)
Controls all SIP based traffic to add value: Provides SIP based converged services & multimedia applications Provides single-sign-in features to data and real time communication ASPs
IMS Technology Drivers

IMS is a Step Towards a Homogeneous All-IP Architecture
Mobile communications is going IP

Separation of transport and
control Voice-data integration IP-based applications End-to-end IP transport
Mobile Networks
The Internet is going mobile

Wireless access Terminal and user mobility Global roaming and handover Quality of Service (QoS)
All-IP Network
Internet
IMS Technology Drivers

Proper QoS handling key to success for large scale service deployments
QoS
realtime
low delay IM best effort Audio Conversation PTT Video Streaming MMS Video Conversation
SMS
Bandwidth Stronger demand for an IMS control infrastructure when moving towards real-time services (e.g. Voice, Video, Conferencing) Starting early on IMS avoids a change of the entire infrastructure later!

Summary
IMS is positioned to be the primary IP network and
service architecture for Tier 1 carriers worldwide Most incumbent telecom vendors are now tailoring products to conform to IMS Soft switch makers will compete directly with incumbents for carrier IMS contracts IT vendors will play a critical role in IMS deployment, possibly at the expense of incumbent vendors Partner management will become more important for suppliers of IMS Siemens & Ericsson have the early lead among incumbents in the race for IMS market share
