Question: When accessing IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) services with ICS (IMS Centralized Services) capability, what is expected regarding service consistency across different access domains for an ICS user?
Option 1: Consistent experience only when accessing via 3GPP PS (Packet Switched) domain, with variability in CS (Circuit Switched) domain.
Option 2: Consistent experience whether accessing IMS via the CS or the PS domain, regardless of the access network type (3GPP or non-3GPP).
Option 3: Variable experience based on the type of UE (User Equipment), with ICS-capable UEs having a different experience than non-ICS UEs.
Option 4: No guaranteed consistency in service experience across any domain or access network for ICS users.
Explanation: This is because IMS Centralized Services (ICS) are designed to provide a unified and consistent user experience. Ensuring service continuity and consistency across different domains (CS and PS) and access networks (3GPP and non-3GPP) is crucial for user satisfaction. Thus, an ICS user should receive both registered and unregistered services in a consistent manner, irrespective of how they access IMS, aligning with telecom principles of service convergence and ubiquity.
