3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [7] and the following apply:

End-to-end security: media protection between two IMS UEs without being terminated by any intermediary node.

ICE lite: The lite implementation of the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) specified in IETF RFC 8445 [62].

Full ICE: The full implementation of the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) specified in IETF RFC 8445 [62].

IM CN subsystem: (IP Multimedia CN subsystem) comprises of all CN elements for the provision of IP multimedia applications over IP multimedia sessions

IP multimedia session: set of multimedia senders and receivers and the data streams flowing from senders to receivers
IP multimedia sessions are supported by the IP multimedia CN Subsystem and are enabled by IP connectivity bearers (e.g. GPRS as a bearer). A user may invoke concurrent IP multimedia sessions.

MSC Server enhanced for ICS: An MSC Server that supports the network based ICS functionality.

MSC Server enhanced for SRVCC: An MSC Server that supports the network based SRVCC functionality.

3.2 Symbols

For the purposes of the present document, the following symbols apply:

Mm Reference Point between a CSCF/BGCF/IMS-ALG and an IP multimedia network.

Mx Reference Point between a CSCF/BGCF/MSC Server enhanced for ICS/MSC Server enhanced for SRVCC and IBCF.

Mb Reference Point defined in 3GPP TS 23.002 [5] and is IP based.

Ix Reference Point between IBCF and TrGW or CS-IBCF and CS-TrGW.

3.3 Abbreviations

For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [7] and the following apply: An abbreviation defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same abbreviation, if any, in 3GPP TR 21.905 [7].
