 Initial Registration

The initial registration procedure consists of the UE sending an unprotected REGISTER request and, if challenged
depending on the security mechanism supported for this UE, sending the integrity-protected REGISTER request or other
appropriate response to the challenge. The UE can register a public user identity with any of its contact addresses at any
time after it has acquired an IP address, discovered a P-CSCF, and established an IP-CAN bearer that can be used for
SIP signalling. However, the UE shall only initiate a new registration procedure when it has received a final response from
the registrar for the ongoing registration, or the previous REGISTER request has timed out.

Authentication is performed during initial registration. A UE can be re-authenticated during subsequent reregistrations,
deregistrations or registrations of additional public user identities. When the network requires authentication or re-
authentication of the UE, the UE will receive a 401 (Unauthorized) response to the REGISTER request.

 UE to UE call – SIP Session

For internal use

21 11/25/2021 ©2013 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.
 Call initiation - UE-originating case

• Upon generating an initial INVITE request, the UE shall include the Accept header field with "application/sdp", the MIME type
associated with the 3GPP IM CN subsystem XML body (see subclause 7.6.1) and any other MIME type the UE is willing and
capable to accept.
• The "integration of resource management and SIP" extension is hereafter in this subclause referred to as "the precondition
mechanism" and is defined in RFC 3312 [30] as updated by RFC 4032 [64].
• The preconditions mechanism should be supported by the originating UE.
• The UE may initiate a session without the precondition mechanism if the originating UE does not require local resource
reservation.
• NOTE 1: The originating UE can decide if local resource reservation is required based on e.g. application requirements,
current access network capabilities, local configuration, etc.
• In order to allow the peer entity to reserve its required resources, an originating UE supporting the precondition mechanism
should make use of the precondition mechanism, even if it does not require local resource reservation.
• Upon generating an initial INVITE request using the precondition mechanism, the UE shall:
• - indicate the support for reliable provisional responses and specify it using the Supported header field mechanism;and
• - indicate the support for the preconditions mechanism and specify it using the Supported header field mechanism.
• Upon generating an initial INVITE request using the precondition mechanism, the UE should not indicate the requirement for the
precondition mechanism by using the Require header field mechanism.
• NOTE 2: If an UE chooses to require the precondition mechanism, i.e. if it indicates the "precondition" option-tag within the
Require header field, the interworking with a remote UE, that does not support the precondition mechanism, is not described in
this specification.

For internal use

22 11/25/2021 ©2013 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.
 Call initiation - UE-originating case

• NOTE 3: Table A.4 specifies that UE support of forking is required in accordance with RFC 3261 [26]. The UE can accept or
reject any of the forked responses, for example, if the UE is capable of supporting a limited number of simultaneous transactions
or early dialogs.
• Upon successful reservation of local resources the UE shall confirm the successful resource reservation (see subclause 6.1.2)
within the next SIP request.
• NOTE 4: In case of the precondition mechanism being used on both sides, this confirmation will be sent in either a PRACK
request or an UPDATE request. In case of the precondition mechanism not being supported on one or both sides, alternatively a
reINVITE request can be used for this confirmation after a 200 (OK) response has been received for the initial INVITE request, in
case the terminating UE does not support the PRACK request (as described in RFC 3262 [27]) and does not support the
UPDATE request (as described in RFC 3311 [29]).
• NOTE 5: If the UE supports the P-Early-Media header field, upon receiving a 18x provisional response with a P-Early-Media
header field indicating authorized early media, as described in RFC 5009 [109], if the preconditions are met, the UE should,
based on local configuration, present received early media to the user.
• NOTE 6: If the UE supports the P-Early-Media header field, upon receiving a 180 (Ringing) provisional response with a P-
Early-Media header field indicating authorized early media, as described in RFC 5009 [109], if the preconditions are met, and the
UE presents the received early media to the user based on local configuration, the UE will not provide an indication that the
invited user is being alerted.
• NOTE 7: If the UE supports the P-Early-Media header field and if the most recently received P-Early-Media header field
within the dialog includes a parameter applicable to media stream with value "inactive", then based on local configuration, the UE
will provide an indication that the invited user is being alerted and stop presenting received early media to the user if requested
by any previous receipt of P-Early-Media header field within the dialog.
For internal use
23 11/25/2021 ©2013 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.
 Call initiation - UE-originating case

• If the UE wishes to receive early media authorization indications, as described in RFC 5009 [109], the UE shall add the P-Early-
Media header field with the "supported" parameter to the INVITE request.
• When a final answer is received for one of the early dialogues, the UE proceeds to set up the SIP session. The UE shall not
progress any remaining early dialogues to established dialogs. Therefore, upon the reception of a subsequent final 200 (OK)
response for an INVITE request (e.g., due to forking), the UE shall:
• 1) acknowledge the response with an ACK request; and
• 2) send a BYE request to this dialog in order to terminate it.
• Upon receiving a 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response to an initial INVITE request, the originating UE should send a new INVITE
request containing SDP according to the procedures defined in subclause 6.1.
• NOTE 8: An example of where a new request would not be sent is where knowledge exists within the UE, or interaction
occurs with the user, such that it is known that the resulting SDP would describe a session that did not meet the user
requirements.
• Upon receiving a 421 (Extension Required) response to an initial INVITE request in which the precondition mechanism was not
used, including the "precondition" option-tag in the Require header field, the originating UE shall:
• - send a new INVITE request using the precondition mechanism, if the originating UE supports the precondition
mechanism; and
• - send an UPDATE request as soon as the necessary resources are available and a 200 (OK) response for the first
PRACK request has been received.
• Upon receiving a 503 (Service Unavailable) response to an initial INVITE request containing a Retry-After header field, then the
originating UE shall not automatically reattempt the request until after the period indicated by the Retry-After header field
contents. related to that early dialog
For internal use
24 11/25/2021 ©2013 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.
 Call initiation - UE-originating case

• The UE may include a "cic" tel-URI parameter in a tel-URI, or in the userinfo part of a SIP URI with user=phone, in the Request-
URI of an initial INVITE request if the UE wants to identify a user-dialed carrier, as described in RFC 4694 [112].
• NOTE 9: The method whereby the UE determines when to include a "cic" tel-URI parameter and what value it should
contain is outside the scope of this document (e.g. the UE could use a locally configured digit map to look for special prefix digits
that indicate the user has dialled a carrier).
• NOTE 10: The value of the "cic" tel-URI parameter reported by the UE is not dependent on UE location (e.g. the reported
value is not affected by roaming scenarios).
• In the event the UE receives a 380 (Alternative Service) response to an INVITE request the response containing a P-Asserted-
Identity header field with a value equal to the value of the last entry on the Path header field value received during registration
and the the response containing a 3GPP IM CN subsystem XML body that includes an <ims-3gpp> element, including a version
attribute, with an <alternative-service> child element with the <type> child element set to "emergency" (see table 7.7AA), the UE
shall attempt an emergency call as described in subclause 5.1.6.
• NOTE 11: The last entry on the Path header field value received during registration is the value of the SIP URI of the P-
CSCF.
• Upon receiving a 199 (Early Dialog Terminated) provisional response to an established early dialog the UE shall release
resources specifically related to that early dialog

25 11/25/2021 ©2013 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.
 Call initiation - UE-terminating case

• The preconditions mechanism should be supported by the terminating UE.

• The handling of incoming initial INVITE requests at the terminating UE is mainly dependent on the following conditions:
• - the specific service requirements for "integration of resource management and SIP" extension (hereafter in this subclause
known as the precondition mechanism and defined in RFC 3312 [30] as updated by RFC 4032 [64], and with the request for
such a mechanism known as a precondition); and
• - the UEs configuration for the case when the specific service does not require the precondition mechanism.
• If an initial INVITE request is received the terminating UE shall check whether the terminating UE requires local resource
reservation.
• NOTE 1: The terminating UE can decide if local resource reservation is required based on e.g. application requirements,
current access network capabilities, local configuration, etc.
• If local resource reservation is required at the terminating UE and the terminating UE supports the precondition mechanism, and:
• a) the received INVITE request includes the "precondition" option-tag in the Supported header field or Require header field,
the terminating UE shall make use of the precondition mechanism and shall indicate a Require header field with the
"precondition" option-tag in any response or subsequent request it sends towards to the originating UE; or
• b) the received INVITE request does not include the "precondition" option-tag in the Supported header field or Require
header field, the terminating UE shall not make use of the precondition mechanism.

For internal use

26 11/25/2021 ©2013 Nokia Solutions and Networks. All rights reserved.
 Call initiation - UE-terminating case

f local resource reservation is not required by the terminating UE and the terminating UE supports the precondition mechanism and:
- the received INVITE request includes the "precondition" option-tag in the Supported header field and:
• the required resources at the originating UE are not reserved, the terminating UE shall use the precondition mechanism;
or
• the required local resources at the originating UE and the terminating UE are available, the terminating UE may use the
precondition mechanism;
- the received INVITE request does not include the "precondition" option-tag in the Supported header field or Require header
field, the terminating UE shall not make use of the precondition mechanism; or
- the received INVITE request includes the "precondition" option-tag in the Require header field, the terminating UE shall use
the precondition mechanism.
NOTE 2: Table A.4 specifies that UE support of forking is required in accordance with RFC 3261 [26].
NOTE 3: If the terminating UE does not support the precondition mechanism it will apply regular SIP session initiation procedures.
If the terminating UE requires a reliable alerting indication at the originating side, the UE shall send the 180 (Ringing) response
reliably. If the received INVITE request indicated support for reliable provisionable responses, but did not require their use, the
terminating UE shall send provisional responses reliably only if the provisional response carries SDP or for other application
related purposes that requires its reliable transport.
NOTE 4: Certain applications, services and operator policies might mandate the terminating UE to send a 199 (Early Dialog
Terminated) provisional response (see RFC 6228 [142]) prior to sending a non-2xx final response to the INVITE request.

100 Trying

The SIP method OPTIONS allows a IMS to query OPTIONS

another UA or a proxy server as to its capabilities. This

allows a client to discover information about the
supported methods, content types, extensions, codecs,
etc.
For example, before a client/server inserts a Require
header field into an INVITE listing an option that it is
not certain the destination UAS supports, it can query
the destination UAS with an OPTIONS to see if this
option is returned in a Supported header field.
All UAs MUST support the OPTIONS method.

- Trying INVITE

100 Trying OPTIONS

It should be noted that according to the specifications the ”100

200 OK
Trying” message should only be sent by the P-CSCF to an
INVITE
originating UE. However, the SIP client of terminating UE 100 Trying
(Samsung S4) is also sending the ”100 Trying” message to the
IMS in this call example.

Please note that the SIP client of LG G2 did not send ‘100
Trying’ message although both UEs have the same Qualcomm
chipset (MSM8974).

– Originating INVITE INVITE

‘INVITE’ message indicates that a client is being invited to

participate in a call session.

The UE may initiate a session without the precondition

mechanism if the originating UE does not require local
resource reservation (UE has not indicated support or
requirement for preconditions in this call example).

- Preconditions require that the participant reserve network

resources (QoS) before continuing with the session.

-TRYING INVITE

100 Trying

The P-CSCF acknowledges the ‘INVITE’ to the UE with ‘100

Trying’ message indicating that the call setup is in progress.
This message is always sent by IMS to the client, i.e. it is
never forwarded upstream.

IETF: This response indicates that the request has been

received by the next-hop server and that some unspecified
action is being taken on behalf of this call (for example, a
database is being consulted). This response, like all other
provisional responses, stops retransmissions of an INVITE by a
UAC. The 100 (Trying) response is different from other
provisional responses, in that it is never forwarded upstream by
a stateful proxy.

- Session Progress INVITE

100 Trying
The ‘183 Session Progress’ response is used to convey
information about the progress of the call that is not 183 Session Progress

otherwise classified. The Reason-Phrase, header fields, or

message body MAY be used to convey more details about
the call progress.

After ‘183 Session Progress’ message is received the IMS

signalling (QCI 5) bearer may carry RTP audio packets, e.g.
voice announcement or music, to notify originating UE.

In case of precondition mechanism, P-CSCF would send ‘183

Session Progress’ to originating UE which then compares the
terminating UE capabilities with its own and determines the
codec to be used.

Precondition mechanism is not used in this example, i.e.

xxNETWORK IMS sends only one option (AMR-WB16000) and
requests the resources reserved accordingly. It does not
request to confirm when resources are reserved.

- Terminating TRYING INVITE

100 Trying
When the P-CSCF receives an initial INVITE request
destined for the UE, it will have a list of Record-Route header 183 Session Progress
INVITE
fields. Prior to forwarding the initial INVITE request, the P-
100 Trying
CSCF shall respond to all INVITE requests with a ‘100 Trying’
provisional response.

It should be noted that according to the specifications the

”100 Trying” message should only be sent by the P-CSCF to
an originating UE. However, the SIP client of terminating UE
(Samsung S4) is also sending the ”100 Trying” message to
the IMS in this call example.

Please note that the SIP client of LG G2 did not send ‘100
Trying’ message although both UEs have the same
Qualcomm chipset (MSM8974).

 P-CSCF-initiated call release

Upon receipt of an indication that the radio/bearer resources are no longer available or the signalling bearer is lost to the UE for a
session (e.g. abort session request from PCRF) or upon detecting that the SDP offer conveyed in a SIP response contained
parameters which are not allowed according to the local policy (as specified in the subclause 6.2), the P-CSCF shall release the
respective dialog by applying the following steps:
• if the P-CSCF serves the calling user of the session, then the P-CSCF shall generate a BYE request destined for the called user
based on the information saved for the related dialog, including:
- a Request-URI, set to the stored Contact header field provided by the called user;
- a To header field, set to the To header field value as received in the 200 (OK) response for the initial INVITE request;
- a From header field, set to the From header field value as received in the initial INVITE request;
- a Call-ID header field, set to the Call-Id header field value as received in the initial INVITE request;
- a CSeq header field, set to the current CSeq value stored for the direction from the calling to the called user, incremented by
one;
- a Route header field, set to the routeing information towards the called user as stored for the dialog;
- a Reason header field that contains:
- a 503 (Service Unavailable) response code, if radio/bearer interface resources are no longer available; or
- a 503 (Service Unavailable) response code, if the signalling bearer is lost to the UE; or
- a 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response code, if a SDP offer conveyed in a SIP response contained parameters which are not
allowed according to the local policy;
- further header fields, based on local policy; and
- - send the generated BYE requests towards the called user;

 xxNETWORK UE to UE VoLTE call – Call setup time

• The VoLTE call is successfully setup from SIP session establishment point of view once three-way handshake is
completed, i.e. the sequence of INVITE, 200 OK and ACK messages are transmitted at mobile originating UE.

• Alternatively, call setup time end point could be the ‘180 Ringing’ message at originating UE to exclude the SIP
application/user delay in answering the call. However, ‘180 Ringing’ message is not always forwarded by IMS to the
originating UE due to fact that ‘ringing tone’ is transmitted as RTP audio already after ‘183 Session progress’ message
is received by a calling party.

• The delay contribution from radio procedures such as RRC connection establishment, paging and dedicated EPS
bearer activations is negligible in total call setup time.

• Mobile originating call setup delay is highly depending on IMS delay (processing and forwarding INVITE)

• The following values are average values of 100 VoLTE calls in drive test done in live LTE network

 SIP Responses

The first digit of the Status-Code defines the class of response. The last two digits do not
have any categorization role. For this reason, any response with a status code between
100 and 199 is referred to as a "1xx response", any response with a status code
between 200 and 299 as a "2xx response", and so on.

SIP/2.0 allows six values for the first digit:

• 1xx: Provisional -- request received, continuing to process the request;
• 2xx: Success -- the action was successfully received, understood, and accepted;
• 3xx: Redirection -- further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request;
• 4xx: Client Error -- the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled at this server;
• 5xx: Server Error -- the server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request;
• 6xx: Global Failure -- the request cannot be fulfilled at anyserver.
