8 IMS service behaviour during a Combinational Service

22.2793GPPCombined Circuit Switched (CS) and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) sessionsStage 1TS

There is no standardised supplementary service defined for IMS session, however mechanisms exist (service capabilities) to emulate the behaviour of some of the most common supplementary services that exist in the circuit switched domain. The intention in this clause is NOT to define "supplementary services" for IMS, just to explain the service behaviour during a combinational session for some specific cases as indicated below:

– IMS session hold: In an ongoing combinational service, the user may decide to suspend the IMS session. When this service is invoked the user should be able to decide whether the CS call of the combinational service should also be put on hold.

– IMS session waiting: In an ongoing combinational service, the user should be able to receive an alert of an incoming IMS session towards his UE. Subject to the capability of the UE, the user should be provided with the option to switch between the ongoing session and the new incoming one, or accept the new one in parallel with the existing one. The CS call of the combinational service should continue during the alerting of the subscriber and the user may decide to put the CS call on hold when switching to the new IMS session.

– IMS session redirect: It should be possible to add CS call to a redirected IMS session, subject to the capability of the recipient UE.

– Identity presentation: Existing Session Originator Identity Presentation rules apply to IMS session.

– Identity restriction: Existing Session Originator Identity Presentation Suppression rules apply to IMS session, even if this results in the called party being unable to establish a combinational session.
