Polling Question 1

5/14/2013

What is the market status for VoLTE & RCS Solutions?

a) VoLTE & RCS are table stakes and will be deployed by mobile operators

globally.

b) VoLTE is table stakes, and RCS will be deployed only if there is a positive

business case.

c) VoLTE & RCS are optional, where the alternative is to provide Internet

Service Provider (OTT) solutions.

d) I don’t know.

The New Minimum User Expectations

OTT providers have raised the standard for what is an

the minimum set of user expectations.

OTTs are providing a more rich and diverse set of

features:

IP Voice Calling

IP Video Calling

Sharing while on a voice

call (e.g., see what I see…)

Progressing from voice to

video call

Network Address Book

Video Mail / Messaging

Multi-device and

Presence

File, contact, and

location sharing

Innovation Mobile operators’ opportunity lies

in using RCS as a foundation to

innovate beyond the expected

feature set and deliver a superior,

superset of services. (Facebook

Chat Heads)

Mash-ups: Through strategic partnerships,

operators can create experiences

tailored to specific groups of

users. (RCS+Enterprise)

RCS & Joyn need to be used to create something unique that improves the user-interaction model.

5/14/2013



Polling Question 2

5/14/2013

What monetization opportunities do you see for

VoLTE & RCS?

a) Operators will be able to charge more for improved voice and messaging

services.

b) Operators will open their networks to 3rd party app developers to use their

VoLTE & RCS services to generate revenue through new and innovative

services.

c) Operators will federate their own IP communication services by

interworking with Internet Service Providers (OTT) to share revenue.

d) I don’t know.

Advantages of VoLTE and RCS

Reduced Cost and Complexity of Network

• Single All IP Network for Voice, Video, and Data

• IMS Core Network enables Resource Sharing

Eliminates the Need for 2 Separate Networks

• Initially Circuit Switched Fallback, But Migrating to all IP

• Reuse of IMS Core Network for Resource Sharing

Unified Services via VoLTE and RCS

• Common IP Network with IMS Simplifies Unified Services

Innovations, Multiple Applications with Common Media

MRF Use Cases beyond VoLTE

Some VoLTE pt-to-pt calls using same codec

Typically Do Not Require MRF

However, Many VoLTE, RCS, and MMTel Services

Rely on Media Resource Function (MRF)

• Basic Network Services

– Network Announcements, Collecting Digits

– Video Calling / Video Share

– IP-to-IP transcoding (e.g. AMR-WB <-> AMR-NB, H.264 <-> VP8 for WebRTC)

• Revenue-Generating VAS services

– Ringback Tones or Adverts

– Messaging (record and playback)

– Multimedia Conferencing

– And many more….

MRF Characteristics in VoLTE

End to End IP (No CS Domain Voice)

• Increases and Exposes Network Bandwidth Variability from End Terminals

Directly to IMS Core Network and MRF (i.e., no Traditional CS-IP MGW)

Key Aspects of MRF in LTE and non-LTE Deployments

• IMS-based All-IP Voice and Video (multiservice MRF)

• Service Continuity with Legacy 2G/3G Handsets (via IMS GWs)

• High Availability with Low Latency and Jitter (media quality)

• New Services for Increased Revenues (app-independent MRF reuse)

MRF: Essential Resource for VoLTE Supplementary Services

• Network voice services (Ann, IVR, RBT)

• Two-way or Multi-party (conferencing)

• Voice Quality for IP Mobile Environment

• Media Recording / Legal Intercept

• Media Transcoding / Adaptation
