5.8.8 ServiceChange

Table 5.8.8.1: ServiceChangeMethods and ServiceChangeReasons sent by IMS-ALG:

Service Change Methods Supported:

ServiceChange Reasons supported:

Handoff (NOTE 2, NOTE 3)

"903 MGC Directed Change" (Optional, NOTE 4)

Restart (NOTE 2)

"901 Cold Boot" (Optional)

"902 Warm Boot" (Optional)

Forced (NOTE 2)

"905 Termination Taken Out Of Service" (Optional)

Graceful (NOTE 2)

"905 Termination Taken Out Of Service" (Optional)

NOTE 1: When a Service Change command on the Root termination with a method other than Graceful is sent, the command shall always be sent as the only command in a message. The sending node shall always wait for the reply to a Service Change command on the Root termination with a method other than Graceful before sending further command requests. A Service Change command on the Root termination with method Graceful may be combined with other commands in a single message.

NOTE 2: ROOT Only.

NOTE 3: Not involving more than 1 IMS-ALG. This does not preclude the use of the MGCId in a ServiceChange (Handoff) scenario, nor does it change the expected IMS-AGW behaviour upon receipt of such a message, as the IMS-AGW has actually no means to differentiate whether the ServiceChangeMgcId parameter that may be received in a ServiceChange (handoff) message relates to a logical IMS-ALG inside the same IMS-ALG server or is part of another IMS-ALG.

NOTE 4: Support of this procedure is mandatory in the IMS-AGW.
