Default bearer: IMS signaling streams SIP signaling streams
Dedicated bearer: Voice media streams Voice media streams
 A default bearer(QCI5) is set up for IMS signaling streams when the UE attaches to the network.
 After the UE initiates a call, SIP signaling streams for call connection is transmitted over the default bearer
through the P-GW to the IMS Core.
 A dedicated bearer for IMS(QCI1) voice media streams is set up during call connection.
 Voice media streams of the calling and called parties are transmitted over the dedicated bearer.

VOLTE use SIP protocol to create, update and terminate a VOTE call: VoLTE voice Code：
 IMS need to be deployed in LTE core network and 2/3G core network to be upgraded for AMR-NB：12.2K、10.2K、7.95K、7.4K、6.7K、5.9K、5.15K、4.75K
SRVCC. AMR-WB： 23.85K、23.05K、19.85K、18.25K、15.85K、14.25K、12.65K、8.85K、6.6K
 The UE need registration in IMS APN for VOLTE service Silent Period one silent frame per 160ms
 The voice code is negotiated between UE and IMS(independent with eNodeB), and carrier Active period one voice frame per 20ms or 40ms
with QCI1 bearing. QCI1 is transparent to the eNodeB
 The VOLTE session negotiation(Signaling) is carrying with QCI5 which is control plane of LTE
network. It is transparent to the eNodeB.

SIP Protocol Stack and Call Procedure
 SIP(The Session Initiation Protocol) is one of
Application
application layer protocal defined in RFC3261, Servers
which is used to create, modify and terminal one

A call B
/multi session
 SIP run over the IP layer. TCP or UDP is used as
the transportation layer protocol, default with

• VOIP DRB setup， RoHC parameter will be negotiated by eNB and UE;
• Enhance coverage: RoHC reduces edge rate of VoIP, reduces the power

increase capacity - semi-persistent scheduling （SPS）
 voice service capacity is mainly subject to PDCCH resources. When dynamic scheduling used, eNodeB need to indicate the allocated resources
through the PDCCH every 20ms,consumed lot of PDCCH resource
 Open semi-persistent scheduling feature, eNB indicate UE resource(MCS&RB) by PDCCH, before receive new schedule, UE occupied allocated
resource to save PDCCH.

3.For voice MOS, Codec is base, Delay and Jitter is the key factor, focus on coverage/handover/backhaul quality
5 Delay End to End Delay< 250ms
 Packet Loss, Delay and Jitter are the key factors which will influence VoLTE voice quality(MOS). The RF engineer should pay more attention to these KPI during optimization delivery.
PLR is the most important KPI which should be taken care. MOS will reduce sharply after PLR is higher than 1%. The Jitter will influence MOS obviously when the jitter is bigger than 86ms and Delay influence to
MOS is tiny.

Key Factors for VoLTE Deployment
VoLTE strategy has difference

between CDMA Operator and
IMS Deployment affects WCDMA Operator
VoLTE Deployment IMS deployment  CDMA operators by the industrial chain constraints,
the basic use of SvLTE solutions, global planning VoLTE
operators are not considered SRVCC program;
Spectrum  GSM/WCDMA operators are using CSFB as a transition
program, and in a long period of time VoLTE and CSFB
Terminal industry chain Terminal coexistence
maturity and cooperation to
promote the development of Brand/
VoLTE Competition
Strengthen the "VoLTE" influence,
priority deployment to enhance the
Coverage brand and market competitiveness
From the United States, Japan and South Korea's VoLTE development, the coverage is the basis for the deployment
of VoLTE

The basic network performance is very
important and the optimization is difficult
① Coverage is still the Foundation ② The Neighbor cell affects the Voice Service
Neighbor cell Configuration: CSFB VS eSRVCC
LTE
CSFB: Only Need
eSRVCC: Need
configure the ARFCN
configure the exact NC
UMTS
Coverage directly affects the quality of speech, and MOS levels are
directly related to the level of RSRP and SINR Optimization Inter-RAT NC to ensure the continuity of voice coverage
③ Impact of uplink interference
Missing NC configuration affects the MOS
Re-established
The inter-Rat NC is not reasonable, resulting in more drops, RRC reestablish and other
Interference and VoLTE quality of service has a direct relationship, the need for the
abnormal events, seriously affect the voice quality of VoLTE. LTE has many ARFCN and
whole network uplink interference analysis, through interference or parameter
network is complicated, and the optimization is difficult
optimization, improve voice quality
VoLTE on the basis of network requirements is higher than the data service, for the VoLTE based network optimization will improve the overall performance of the
whole network
