9.1 MPS for MMTEL voice

9.1.1 General

MPS for MMTEL voice provides the Service User with priority voice communication sessions in periods of severe network congestion during which normal commercial voice service is degraded.

The system shall support:

– MPS for MMTEL voice and voice conference calls for an authorized Service User using a UE with a subscription for MPS,

NOTE 1: In this case of an UE with an MPS subscription, subscription related information stored in the UE is used, e.g., membership in a special access class as per TS 22.011 [6] is used for EUTRAN access to the EPC and membership in Access Identity 1 as per TS 22.261 [7] is used for 5G (NR and E-UTRAN access to the 5GC).

– MPS for MMTEL voice and voice conference calls for an authorized Service User using a UE that does not have an MPS subscription, and

NOTE 2: In this case, the Service User is not identified by the subscription information stored in the UE (e.g., the Service User borrows a UE that does not have an MPS subscription). In this case, radio interface priority is not provided for the initial request for invocation of MPS. It is provided only after MPS is established for the MMTEL voice call.

– MPS for all participants of an authorized MMTEL voice conference call.

NOTE 3: MPS for all participants of an MMTEL voice conference call allows a Service User (i.e., the host) to establish an MMTEL voice conference with MPS for all participants, or upgrade on ongoing MMTEL voice conference to MPS for all participants regardless of their subscription to MPS.

9.1.2 Invocation and revocation

9.1.2.1 Invocation

A Service User, using a UE with an MPS subscription, can invoke MPS to request priority for an MMTEL voice/conference call, e.g., when the normal MMTEL call cannot be established, or to upgrade an already established normal MMTEL call to MPS.

The system shall support means for a Service User using a UE with an MPS subscription to:

– initiate MPS for an MMTEL voice call or an MPS MMTEL voice conference call, or

– request upgrade of an established MMTEL voice call, or an established MMTEL voice conference call to MPS.

9.3 MPS for DTS

9.3.1 General

MPS for Data Transport Service (DTS) is a generic priority packet transport service that applies independently of the specific data application being used. It is a specific example of Priority Data Bearer Service described in clause 5.4a. MPS for DTS provides the Service User with priority for applications using the default bearer upon request (in the case of EPS), or QoS flow associated with the default QoS rule upon request (in the case of 5GS), to one or more selected active Packet Data Networks (PDNs)/Data Networks (DNs), in periods of severe network congestion during which normal commercial data service is degraded. MPS for DTS may also apply to other bearers (in the case of EPS) and other QoS Flows (in the case of 5GS) based on operator policy and regulatory rules.

NOTE 1: Service Data Flows (SDFs) previously mapped to the default bearer (in case of EPS) / QoS flow associated with the default QoS rule (in case of 5GS), are upgraded to MPS priority.

The system shall support:

– MPS for DTS for an authorized Service User using a UE with a subscription for MPS, and

NOTE 2: In this case of an UE with an MPS subscription, subscription related information stored in the UE is used, e.g., membership in a special access class as per TS 22.011 [6] is used for EUTRAN access to the EPC and membership in Access Identity 1 as per TS 22.261 [7] is used for 5G (NR and E-UTRAN access to the 5GC).

– MPS for DTS for an authorized Service User using a UE that does not have an MPS subscription.

NOTE 3: In this case, the Service User is not identified by the subscription related information stored in the UE (e.g., the Service User borrows a UE that does not have an MPS subscription). In this case, radio interface priority is not provided for the initial request for invocation of MPS. It is provided only after MPS is established for the DTS session.

MPS for DTS may be used to by a Service User to obtain priority access (e.g., Virtual Private Network (VPN) access) to an enterprise network (e.g., a private corporate network or private Government Agency network to download data and/or access enterprise applications such as email, text/chat/presence, voice and video).

The system shall support for an authorised Service User, an end-to-end MPS for DTS connection between the MPS subscribed UE and an associated enterprise network supporting MPS on demand based on operator policy and when agreements are in place for MPS.

NOTE 4: The end-to-end MPS for DTS connection between the UE and an associated enterprise network is supported either using a web browser (e.g., use of a predetermined address (i.e., URL) in a web browser) or using a user-selectable option provided as part of the VPN client in the UE with an MPS subscription.

MPS for DTS provides an IoT device with subscription to MPS with priority for applications using a specific default bearer (in the case of EPS), or default QoS flow (in the case of 5GS), towards a single specified PDN/DN;in the case of IoT connectivity to an enterprise, MPS also provides priority for the terminating access network (connected to the enterprise).

The system shall support:

– MPS for DTS for an authorized IoT device with a subscription for MPS, and

– an end-to-end MPS for DTS connection between the MPS subscribed IoT device and an associated enterprise network supporting MPS on demand based on operator policy when agreements are in place for MPS.

NOTE 5: An MPS specialized application on the MPS subscribed IoT device is used to support MPS for DTS through machine interactions that may not directly involve a human Service User.

An authorized enterprise network supporting MPS uses MPS for DTS to activate priority for remote MPS subscribed UEs and MPS subscribed IoT devices associated with the enterprise network based on operator policy when agreements are in place for MPS.

The system shall support:

– for an authorized enterprise network supporting MPS, activation of MPS for DTS for remote MPS subscribed UEs associated with the enterprise network on demand based on operator policy when agreements are in place for MPS, and

– for an authorized enterprise network supporting MPS, activation of MPS for DTS for remote MPS subscribed IoT devices associated with the enterprise network on demand based on operator policy when agreements are in place for MPS.

NOTE 6: MPS for DTS activation by an authorized enterprise network supporting MPS involves prearrangement and configuration (i.e., subscription arrangement identifying the enterprise network authorization for remote activation of DTS in IoT devices) within the MPS Service Provider PLMN.
