E.4.3 Mn Signalling procedures

29.1633GPPInterworking between the IP Multimedia (IM) Core Network (CN) subsystem and Circuit Switched (CS) networksTS

E.4.3.1 Overview

This clause describes the logical signalling procedures (i.e. message identifiers are not part of the protocol) between the MGCF and IM-MGW. The procedures within this clause are intended to be implemented using the standard H.248 procedure as defined in ITU recommendation H.248.1 [2] with appropriate parameter combinations.

E.4.3.2 Add Multiplex Termination

This procedure is used to add a termination to multiplex/demultiplex H.223. This procedure containing the MuxDescriptor with H.223 value enables the IM-MGW to start the H.324 Multiplexing Level Negotiation.
