[TS 24.501, clause 5.1.3.2.1.3.8]

The substate 5GMM-DEREGISTERED.eCALL-INACTIVE is chosen in the UE when:

a) the UE is configured for eCall only mode as specified in 3GPP TS 31.102 [22];

b) timer T3444 and timer T3445 have expired or are not running;

c) a PLMN has been selected as specified in 3GPP TS 23.122 [5];

d) the UE does not need to perform an eCall over IMS; and

e) the UE does not need to perform a call to a non-emergency MSISDN or URI for test or terminal reconfiguration service.

In this substate, the UE shall not initiate any signalling towards the network, except to originate an eCall over IMS, or a call to a non-emergency MSISDN or URI for test or terminal reconfiguration service.

[TS 24.501, clause 5.3.1.3]

The signalling procedure for the release of the N1 NAS signalling connection is initiated by the network.

In N1 mode, upon indication from lower layers that the access stratum connection has been released, the UE shall enter 5GMM-IDLE mode and consider the N1 NAS signalling connection released.

If the UE in 3GPP access is configured for eCall only mode as specified in 3GPP TS 31.102 [22] then:

– if the N1 NAS signalling connection that was released had been established for eCall over IMS, the UE shall start timer T3444; and

– if the N1 NAS signalling connection that was released had been established for a call to an HPLMN designated non-emergency MSISDN or URI for test or terminal reconfiguration service, the UE shall start timer T3445.

[TS 24.501, clause 5.5.3]

The eCall inactivity procedure is performed only in 3GPP access and applicable only to a UE configured for eCall only mode as specified in 3GPP TS 31.102 [22]. The procedure shall be started when:

a) the UE is in any 5GMM-REGISTERED substate except substates 5GMM-REGISTERED.PLMN-SEARCH or 5GMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE;

b) the UE is in 5GMM-IDLE mode; and

c) one of the following conditions applies:

1) timer T3444 expires or is found to have already expired and timer T3445 is not running;

2) timer T3445 expires or is found to have already expired and timer T3444 is not running; or

3) timers T3444 and T3445 expire or are found to have already expired.

The UE shall then perform the following actions:

a) stop other running timers (e.g. T3511, T3512);

b) if the UE is currently registered to the network for 5GS services, perform a de-registration procedure;

c) delete any 5G-GUTI, TAI list, last visited registered TAI, list of equivalent PLMNs, and ngKSI; and

d) enter 5GMM-DEREGISTERED.eCALL-INACTIVE state.

The EATF acts as a routing B2BUA which invokes third party call control (3pcc) for enablement of Access Transfer.

When supporting PS to CS DRVCC for IMS emergency, the EATF provides the following functions:

– Generates and sends an E-STN-DR to UE for session continuity procedure toward the CS domain. The E-STN-DR is used by the EATF to correlate two access legs, and is unique for each access transfer function within an EATF.

The EATF performs the session continuity when the Access Transfer request indicated by the E-STN-SR is received.

[TS 23.237, clause 6c.2.1]

Figure 6c.2.1-1 provides flow for SRVCC for IMS emergency session, when the IMS emergency session is active session. This applies when a single EATF instance is deployed (see clause 6c.2.3 for multiple EATF instances).

Figure 6c.2.1-1: IMS level Call flow for SRVCC for IMS emergency session with E-STN-SR with a single EATF instance

1. MSC Server initiates the session transfer with the E-STN-SR and it includes the equipment identifier.

2. The I-CSCF routes the INVITE directly to the EATF via I5 by using similar procedures to that defined in TS 23.228 [4] for PSI based Application Server termination.

NOTE 1: The use of indirect routeing for PSI based Application Server Termination as described in TS 23.228 [4] in clause 5.7.6 cannot be used for routing the INVITE to the EATF.

3 – 4. The EATF uses the E-STN-SR to determine that Access Transfer is requested. The EATF proceeds with the Access Transfer of the active session with bi-directional speech for the UE by updating the Remote Leg with the media description and other information using the Remote Leg Update procedure as specified in clause 6.3.1.5. For SRVCC session transfer of an eCall over IMS, the EATF indicates in the reINVITE that the EATF shall exclude INFO requests for any Info Packages related to eCall over IMS as defined in RFC 6086 [34] clause 5.2.2.

NOTE: Indicating an unwillingness to receive INFO requests will prevent an emergency centre/PSAP from sending an INFO message to request an updated MSD from the UE.

5. The E-CSCF forwards the Re-INVITE to the MGCF associated with the PSAP if the PSAP is located in the PSTN or CS Domain (the u-plane path is switched between the UE and the MGW) or the Re-INVITE is sent directly to an IP-capable PSAP (the u-plane path between the UE and the PSAP is switched end-to-end).

6. When session modification procedures complete, the source access leg (i.e. the access leg previously established over IMS) is released as specified in clause 6.3.1.6.

NOTE 2: If non-voice media was part of the original Multimedia emergency call session, the non-voice media will be released.

[TS 26.267, clause 4.3]

After an emergency voice call has been (automatically or manually) established, the IVS modem receiver constantly monitors the incoming signal from the speech decoder output. When prompted by a request from the PSAP operator for MSD, the IVS connects the IVS data modem transmitter to the input of the speech coder and mutes any speech from the motorist for the duration of MSD transmission to prevent it from interfering with the eCall data transmission. Alternatively, it can be the IVS that may trigger the MSD transmission. In this case, the IVS asks the PSAP to request an MSD transmission.

The first operation mode shall be referred to as the pull mode whereas the latter one is the push mode. Essentially, push mode is realized by a request from the IVS to the PSAP to pull the MSD.

The requirement about the modem to be configured in either push or pull mode is beyond the scope of this specification. Refer to clause 4.2 for a reproduction of eCall service requirements.

[TS 24.008, clause 5.2.4.2]

If the MS supports single radio PS to CS access transfer for calls in alerting state as specified in 3GPP TS 24.237 [136] subclause 12.2.3B, and the MS has a single voice media stream over the PS domain that is handed over to the CS domain via SRVCC, and the call control entity of the MS in the "null" state receives an indication "MM connection establishment due to SRVCC handover" then:

– the call control entity shall indicate to the upper layers that call establishment is due to SRVCC handover;

– if the upper layers indicate that the media stream(s) is/are associated with a mobile originated session in the "early" state (defined in IETF RFC 3261 [137]) according to the conditions specified in 3GPP TS 24.237 [136] subclause 12.2.3B.3.2, the call control entity of the MS shall enter the "call delivered" state for this transaction. The MS and the network shall locally set the TI value of the call to "000" and the TI flag value as in mobile terminated call; and

If the MS has additional voice media streams carried over the PS domain that are handed over to the CS domain via SRVCC, the call states for the transactions and the setting of the TI value and TI flag for these additional media streams are described in 3GPP TS 24.237 [136].

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 24.229, clauses 5.1.6.11.1, 5.1.6.11.2 and TS 23.167, Annex H.6.

[TS 24.229 clause 5.1.6.11.1]

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the manually initiated eCall type of emergency service, the service URN shall be "urn:service:sos.ecall.manual" as specified in RFC 8147 [244].

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service, the service URN shall be "urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic" as specified in RFC 8147 [244].

NOTE 1: The manually initiated eCall type of emergency service is used when the eCall IMS emergency session is invoked with user input. The automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service is used if the eCall IMS emergency session is invoked without user input.

[TS 24.229 clause 5.1.6.11.2]

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service or of the manually initiated eCall type of emergency service and if allowed by IP-CAN specific annex, the UE shall send an INVITE request as specified in the procedures in subclause 5.1.6.8 with the following additions:

1) the UE shall set the Request-URI to "urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic" or "urn:service:sos.ecall.manual"; and

2) if the IP-CAN indicates the eCall support indication, the UE shall:

a) insert a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244], containing the MSD not exceeding 140 bytes and encoded in binary ASN.1 PER as specified in CEN EN 15722:2015 [245] and include a Content-Disposition header field with a "handling" header field parameter with an "optional" value, as described in RFC 3261 [26];

b) insert an Accept header field indicating the UE is willing to accept an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME type as defined in RFC 8147 [244]; and

c) insert a Recv-Info header field set to "EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" as defined in RFC 8147 [244].

NOTE: Further content for the INVITE is as defined in RFC 8147 [244].

Then the UE shall proceed as follows:

3) if the UE receives a 486 (Busy Here), 600 (Busy Everywhere) or 603 (Decline) response to the INVITE request containing:

a) a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244] with an "ack" element containing:

i) a "received" attribute set to "true"; and

ii) a "ref" attribute set to the Content-ID of the MIME body part containing the MSD sent by the UE;

then the UE shall consider the initial MSD transmission as successful and shall perform domain selection to re-attempt the eCall as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B]; and

4) in all other cases, the UE shall perform domain selection to re-attempt the eCall as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B].

11.5.10.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 24.229, clauses 5.1.6.11.1, 5.1.6.11.2 and TS 23.167, Annex H.6.

[TS 24.229 clause 5.1.6.11.1]

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the manually initiated eCall type of emergency service, the service URN shall be "urn:service:sos.ecall.manual" as specified in RFC 8147 [244].

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service, the service URN shall be "urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic" as specified in RFC 8147 [244].

NOTE 1: The manually initiated eCall type of emergency service is used when the eCall IMS emergency session is invoked with user input. The automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service is used if the eCall IMS emergency session is invoked without user input.

[TS 24.229 clause 5.1.6.11.2]

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service or of the manually initiated eCall type of emergency service and if allowed by IP-CAN specific annex, the UE shall send an INVITE request as specified in the procedures in subclause 5.1.6.8 with the following additions:

1) the UE shall set the Request-URI to "urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic" or "urn:service:sos.ecall.manual"; and

2) if the IP-CAN indicates the eCall support indication, the UE shall:

a) insert a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244], containing the MSD not exceeding 140 bytes and encoded in binary ASN.1 PER as specified in CEN EN 15722:2015 [245] and include a Content-Disposition header field with a "handling" header field parameter with an "optional" value, as described in RFC 3261 [26];

b) insert an Accept header field indicating the UE is willing to accept an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME type as defined in RFC 8147 [244]; and

c) insert a Recv-Info header field set to "EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" as defined in RFC 8147 [244].

NOTE: Further content for the INVITE is as defined in RFC 8147 [244].

Then the UE shall proceed as follows:

3) if the UE receives a 486 (Busy Here), 600 (Busy Everywhere) or 603 (Decline) response to the INVITE request containing:

a) a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244] with an "ack" element containing:

i) a "received" attribute set to "true"; and

ii) a "ref" attribute set to the Content-ID of the MIME body part containing the MSD sent by the UE;

then the UE shall consider the initial MSD transmission as successful and shall perform domain selection to re-attempt the eCall as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B]; and

4) in all other cases, the UE shall perform domain selection to re-attempt the eCall as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B].

11.5.13.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 24.229, clauses 5.1.6.11.2, 5.1.6.8.1, Table 7.8.1 and TS 23.167, Annex H.6.

[TS 24.229 clause 5.1.6.11.2]

If the upper layers request establishment of an IMS emergency call of the automatically initiated eCall type of emergency service or of the manually initiated eCall type of emergency service and if allowed by IP-CAN specific annex, the UE shall send an INVITE request as specified in the procedures in subclause 5.1.6.8 with the following additions:

1) the UE shall set the Request-URI to "urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic" or "urn:service:sos.ecall.manual"; and

2) if the IP-CAN indicates the eCall support indication, the UE shall:

a) insert a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244], containing the MSD not exceeding 140 bytes and encoded in binary ASN.1 PER as specified in CEN EN 15722:2015 [245] and include a Content-Disposition header field with a "handling" header field parameter with an "optional" value, as described in RFC 3261 [26];

b) insert an Accept header field indicating the UE is willing to accept an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME type as defined in RFC 8147 [244]; and

c) insert a Recv-Info header field set to "EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" as defined in RFC 8147 [244].

NOTE: Further content for the INVITE is as defined in RFC 8147 [244].

Then the UE shall proceed as follows:

1) if the UE receives a 200 (OK) response to the INVITE request not containing:

a) a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244] with an "ack" element containing:

i) a "received" attribute set to "true"; and

ii) a "ref" attribute set to the Content-ID of the MIME body part containing the MSD sent by the UE;

then the UE shall send the MSD using audio media stream encoded as described in 3GPP TS 26.267 [9C];

2) if the UE receives a 200 (OK) response to the INVITE request containing:

a) a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244] with an "ack" element containing:

i) a "received" attribute set to "true"; and

ii) a "ref" attribute set to the Content-ID of the MIME body part containing the MSD sent by the UE;

then the UE shall consider the initial MSD transmission as successful;

3) if the UE receives a 486 (Busy Here), 600 (Busy Everywhere) or 603 (Decline) response to the INVITE request containing:

a) a multipart/mixed body containing an "application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml" MIME body part as defined in RFC 8147 [244] with an "ack" element containing:

i) a "received" attribute set to "true"; and

ii) a "ref" attribute set to the Content-ID of the MIME body part containing the MSD sent by the UE;

then the UE shall consider the initial MSD transmission as successful and shall perform domain selection to re-attempt the eCall as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B]; and

4) in all other cases, the UE shall perform domain selection to re-attempt the eCall as specified in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B].

The timer is used by the UE during initial request for emergency service. For detailed usage of the timer see subclause 5.1.6.8.1.

[TS 24.229 clause 5.1.6.8.1]

If the UE supports the emerg-request timer defined in Table 7.8.1, the UE shall start the emerg-request timer when sending the initial INVITE request for emergency service. The UE shall stop the timer upon receipt of any 18x provisional SIP response. When the emerg-request timer expires, the UE shall consider that the emergency service request has failed and apply the procedures related to emergency service request failure that are defined in 3GPP TS 23.167 [4B] subclause 7.3 with clarifications in clause H.5. The UE may support being configured for the emerg-request timer using one or more of the following methods:

a) the Timer_Emerg-request leaf of the EFIMSConfigData file described in 3GPP TS 31.102 [15C];

b) the Timer_Emerg-request leaf of the EFIMSConfigData file described in 3GPP TS 31.103 [15B]; and

c) the Timer_Emerg-request leaf of 3GPP TS 24.167 [8G].

If the UE is configured with both the Timer_Emerg-request leaf of 3GPP TS 24.167 [8G] and the Timer_Emerg-request leaf of the EFIMSConfigData file described in 3GPP TS 31.102 [15C] or 3GPP TS 31.103 [15B], then the Timer_Emerg-request leaf of the EFIMSConfigData file shall take precedence.
