4.9.2 Requirements
For MC services over a 5G system with EPS interworking, inter-system mobility between 5GC and EPC/E-UTRAN of MC service UEs shall be supported by the network based on the capabilities and procedures defined in 3GPP TS 23.501 [7], 3GPP TS 23.502 [10], and 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]. For the case that seamless session continuity is required for MC services, e.g. for MCPTT services, EPS interworking with N26 (interface between AMF in 5GC and MME in EPC) is required for inter-system change. The MC system should be able to subscribe/unsubscribe to notification capabilities of specific events from the network related to EPS interworking. Thereby, the MC system can identify whether an MC service UE is registered on 5GS or EPS. 4.10 Use of 5G ProSe UE-to-UE relay

4.10.1 General
The MC service shall support the capabilities for 5G ProSe UE-to-UE single hop relay. For this matter, 5G ProSe Layer-2 and 5G ProSe Layer-3 UE-to-UE relaying techniques can be utilized, as described in 3GPP TS 23.304 [17]. A 5G ProSe UE-to-UE relay supporting MC service UE provides means of connectivity and relaying of MC traffic from a MC service UE to another MC service UE(s) via a MC UE Relay. For this matter, the 5G ProSe UE-to-UE Relay Discovery service allows the MC service remote UE to discover a potential UE-to-UE relay supporting MC service in its proximity as described in 3GPP TS 23.304 [17]. Upon its discovery, the 5G ProSe Direct UE-to-UE Relay Communication functionality is utilized to achieve communication to provide the MC service between MC UEs, relaying MC traffic via the UE-to-UE relay UE over the NR PC5 reference point.

4.10.2 5G ProSe UE-to-UE relay service requirements
In order to enable 5G ProSe UE-to-UE relaying capabilities – whether based on Layer-3 or Layer-2 UE-to-UE relaying techniques, the MC system provides the appropriate parameters and configurations to the MC service UE(s). As defined in 3GPP TS 23.304 [17], among these parameters are: Relay Service Code(s) (RSCs) which can be associated to a certain MC service group, User Info, ProSe Layer-2 Group ID and ProSe Group IP multicast address. Moreover, the MC service group ID is resolved to the ProSe Layer-2 Group ID and ProSe Group IP multicast address, which are utilized within the 5G ProSe Relay Discovery and 5G ProSe Direct Communication procedures, as described in 3GPP TS 23.304 [17]. Furthermore, the RSCs are utilized to restrict the necessary UE-to-UE relay service and related procedures within members of a certain MC service group.

4.11 Support of the 5GS congestion information exposure using L4S
Based on the request from the MC system, the 5G system can expose network congestion information on the media path between the MC service server and MC service UE to enable reacting accordingly, e.g., adjust the application layer bit rate at the media sender side. The 5G System can support Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) marking for Low Latency, Low Loss and Scalable Throughput (L4S) support as defined in 3GPP TS 23.501 [7], clause 5.37.3. When supported and enabled, the 5G System is applying ECN marking for L4S on a per QoS flow basis in the uplink and/or downlink direction and may be used for GBR and non-GBR QoS flows. To support this feature on a service data flow, the MC service client and MC service server are capable of supporting the L4S handling including e.g., parsing the L4S ECN mark in the IP header, reporting the L4S feedback about downlink and/or uplink direction. The MC service server enables this feature by initiating the request for L4S marking towards the network (either directly towards PCF or indirectly via NEF). Related procedures are specified in clause 7.7. NOTE 1: The activation of ECN marking can also be triggered via the 5G core (SMF or PCF) based on either a dynamic or a predefined PCC rule, or dynamically upon the detection of L4S traffic in the IP header. NOTE 2: The details related to MC service server and MC service UE upon reception of congestion information, e.g., including media handling, codec and bit rate negotiation are outside the scope of the current document.

5 MC system functional model
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
5.1 General
The functional model for the MC services architecture is defined as a series of planes to allow for the breakdown of the architectural description. Each plane is expected to operate in an independent manner, providing services to the connected planes as and when requested by the connected plane, and requesting services from other planes as required. In this context, each plane manages on its own behalf: a) Use of identities: Each plane is responsible for the privacy of that plane's own identities; and b) Security for that plane: It does not preclude a plane requesting security services from another plane, but that is a decision made within the plane, as to whether to use offered security services or mechanisms within the plane itself. NOTE: Terminology such as client and server are not meant to imply specific physical implementation of a functional entity.
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
5.2 Description of the planes
The following planes are identified: a) application plane: The application plane provides all of the services (e.g. call control, floor control, video control, data control, conferencing of media, provision of tones an announcements) required by the user together with the necessary functions to support MC service. It uses the services of the signalling control plane to support those requirements. b) signalling control plane: The signalling control plane provides the necessary signalling support to establish the association of users involved in an MC service, such as an MCPTT call or other type of MC services. The signalling control plane also offers access to and control of services across MC services. The signalling control plane uses the services of session connectivity. The corresponding session connectivity supporting these planes are defined for the use of 5GS within 3GPP TS 23.501 [7]. The associated resource control to support these planes is defined within 3GPP TS 23.503 [9].

6.3.1 Administration of MC service, SIP core and 5GS
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
6.3.1.1 General
This clause describes deployment scenarios in which different administration of MC service, SIP core and 5GS are described, together with the sensitivities of identities and other forms of signalling in those scenarios. In each of these scenarios, the owner of the devices at each plane may be different from the organization that administers these devices. For example, the MC service provider may own some RAN components within the 5GS even when the 5GS is administered by the PLMN operator, and the MC service UE may be owned by an organization that is independent from PLMN and MC service providers.
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
6.3.1.2 Common administration of all planes
In this scenario, all planes (application services layer, SIP core and 5GS) are administered by the same party. This is illustrated in figure 6.3.1.2-1 below. Figure 6.3.1.2-1: Common administration of all services by one operator Although the identities in each plane are separate as described in 3GPP TS 23.280 [3], there is no particular sensitivity of identities and other information at the application plane, and these may be exposed to the SIP core and the 5GS. All authorization and authentication mechanisms at each plane, i.e. the application services layer, SIP core and 5GS, shall be separate, but there may be no need for any restrictions in how these are stored and managed; for example the same entity could provide services to each of the application services layer, SIP core and 5GS.
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
6.3.1.3 MC service provider separate from SIP core and 5GS
In this scenario, as illustrated in figure 6.3.1.3-1, the MC service provider is separate and independent from the PLMN operator, and the MC service is administered independently of the 5GS and SIP core. The PLMN operator administers the 5GS and the SIP core. Figure 6.3.1.3-1: MC service provider administers MC service separately from SIP core and 5GS The MC service provider may require that all application services layer identities and other sensitive information are hidden both from the SIP core and the 5GS. When required by the MC service provider, all authentication and authorization mechanisms, including security roots, at the application services layer are hidden from and not available to the PLMN operator.
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
6.3.1.4 MC service provider administers SIP core, separate from 5GS
In this scenario, as illustrated in figure 6.3.1.4-1, the MC service provider administers the SIP core, and the MC services and SIP core are independent of the PLMN operator. Figure 6.3.1.4-1: MC service provider provision of SIP core, separate domain from 5GS The MC service provider may require that all identities and other sensitive information at the application services layer are hidden from the 5GS. The MC service provider need not hide the identities and signalling at the application services layer from the SIP core. However, the MC service provider may require that identities and other sensitive information between SIP core and SIP client in the MC service UE are also hidden from the 5GS. All authentication and authorization mechanisms, including security roots, at both application services layer and at SIP signalling plane may need to be hidden from, and not available to, the PLMN operator.
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
6.3.1.5 SIP core partially administered by both PLMN operator and MC service provider
In this scenario, as illustrated in figure 6.3.1.5-1, the SIP core is partially administered by both parties, for example when the SIP core registrar is administered by the MC service provider, but the SIP core registrar finder and proxy is administered by the PLMN operator. Figure 6.3.1.5-1: MC service provider partial provision of SIP core, separate domain from 5GS The MC service provider may require that all identities and signalling at the application services layer are hidden from the 5GS, and may require identities and other sensitive information to be hidden from the PLMN operator administered part of the SIP core. All authentication and authorization mechanisms, including security roots, at the application services layer may need to be hidden from, and not available to, the PLMN operator.
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
6.3.1.6 PLMN operator administers SIP core with SIP identities administered by MC service provider
In this scenario, the PLMN operator administers the SIP core. However, the identities used by the SIP core (IMPI and IMPU) for MC service UEs served by the MC service provider are provided from the SIP database of the MC service provider. Figure 6.3.1.6-1: MC service provider provides identities to PLMN operator SIP core The MC service provider may require that all identities and signalling at the application services layer are hidden from the SIP core and 5GS. When required by the MC service provider, all authentication and authorization mechanisms, including security roots, at the application services layer may need to be hidden from, and not available to, the PLMN operator. The security roots (authentication keys) required for access to the signalling control plane are not available to the PLMN operator as these are held in the MC service provider's SIP database. However, derived parameters e.g. authentication vectors are provided to the SIP core to allow signalling control plane authentication to take place.

7.2.2 Request for unicast resources at session establishment – SIP core based
The procedure defined in this clause specifies how communication resources are requested from 5GS at session establishment. If concurrent sessions are used the MC service server may utilize the capability of resource sharing specified in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]. The exchange of the QoS characteristics of the required resources takes place exclusively by means of direct interaction between SIP core and PCF using N5 reference point or Rx reference point and encompass media type, bandwidth, priority, application identifier and resource sharing information. Establishment, modification or release of communication resources are managed according to 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]. The procedure is generic to any type of session establishment that requires communication resources. Procedures in figure 7.1.2-1 show the signalling procedures for the requesting resource at session establishment. Figure 7.2.2-1: Resource request at session establishment – SIP core based 1. MC service client sends a session establishment request. 2. MC service server receives evaluates the need of communication resources and the use of media resource sharing. 3. MC service server sends a session progress request containing request for communication resources. 4. Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]) initiated from SIP core local inbound/outbound proxy using direct interaction between SIP core and PCF. 5. The SIP core local inbound/outbound proxy forwards the call control protocol request to the MC service client. 6. The MC service client acknowledges the session progress request with an OK message. 7. The SIP core local inbound/outbound proxy forwards the OK message to the MC service server. 8. The MC service session is established, and resources have been allocated.

92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
7.2.3.1 General
The procedure defined in this clause specifies how communication resources are requested from 5GS at session establishment from the MC service server. The required QoS characteristics for resources are sent directly to the PCF via the N5 reference point or Rx reference point from the MC service server. Alternatively, QoS characteristics for resources can be exchanged indirectly utilizing N33 reference point between MC service server and NEF. QoS characteristic information encompasses media type, bandwidth, priority, application identifier, resource sharing information and network slice information. If concurrent sessions are used, the MC service server may utilize the capability of resource sharing specified in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]. For the request of communication resources by the MC service server via N5 reference point or Rx reference point, or N33 reference point, the MC service client provides to the MC service server the corresponding communication resource details (e.g. IP addresses and ports) of the MC service client and the corresponding media anchoring points. This procedure is generic to any type of session establishment with the MC service server requesting network resources.

7.2.3.2 Procedure
Figure 7.2.3.2-1 describes the procedure for the request of resources at session establishment from the MC service server. Figure 7.2.3.2-1: Resource request at session establishment – MC service server based 1. The MC service client sends a session establishment request. The request includes, apart from the SDP offer, access resource details, e.g. IP addresses and ports of the MC service client related to the media session. 2. The MC service server evaluates the need of communication resources and use of media resource sharing. 3. The MC service server sends a session progress request to the SIP core. NOTE: The session progress request does not include a request for network communication resources to be performed by the SIP core. 4. The SIP core local inbound/outbound proxy forwards the session progress request to the MC service client. 5. The MC service client acknowledges the session establishment to the MC service server. This message contains the final negotiated media parameters, e.g. IP addresses and ports related to the media anchoring points received in the SDP answer from the SIP core. 6. To trigger resources allocation, the MC service server sends a request for media resources to 5GS. For direct interaction, the resource allocation request is exchanged between MC service server and 5GS PCF using N5 reference point or Rx reference point. For indirect interaction, the resource allocation request is exchanged between MC service server and 5GS NEF using N33 reference point. The respective procedures are defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]). 7. Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]) initiated from MC service server either directly via PCF or indirectly via NEF. 8. The MC service session is established, and resources have been allocated.

23.289
7.2.4 Request for modification of unicast resources
To modify a unicast media flow, the MC service server shall send a resource modification request containing the parameters to be modified, using the call control protocol via the SIP core to the UE. The exchange of the QoS characteristics of the concerned resources takes place exclusively by means of direct interaction between SIP core and PCF. Possible scenarios when this procedure may be used are: - Modify the allocation and retention priority for unicast resources; - Release and resume resources in-between MC service calls when using the chat model; or - Releasing resources for the media plane should give the option to allow the SIP session to either be torn down or continue. Procedures in figure 7.2.4-1 are the signalling procedures for the modification of a unicast: Pre-conditions: - An MC service session is already in progress; Figure 7.2.4-1: Media flow modification request 1. MC service server decides to modify the parameters of a unicast bearer (e.g. a request to upgrade the existing MC service call to an MC service emergency or imminent peril call). 2. MC service server sends a session update which includes a resource modification request containing the modified parameters of the unicast bearer. 3. Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]) initiated by the MC service server using direct interaction between SIP core and PCF. 4. The SIP core local inbound / outbound proxy forwards the session update request to the MC service client. 5. The MC service client acknowledges the call control protocol request with an OK message. 6. The SIP core local inbound / outbound proxy forwards the OK message to the MC service server. 7. The MC service session continues with the modified unicast resources. NOTE: If multiple audio streams are sent to the UE, additional QoS flows could be required during an established session. Pre-allocation of additional QoS flows already at session establishment could be useful.

92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
7.2.5.1 General
The procedure in this sub clause specifies how to request resources for floor control (or transmission control in MCVideo and MCData) and for the media plane can be handled independently. This procedure utilizes the N5 reference point or Rx reference point for direct interaction between MC service server and 5GS (PCF) and for direct interaction between SIP core and 5GS (PCF). Alternatively, resource requests for the media plane can be exchanged indirectly using N33 reference point between MC service server and NEF. Resources for transmission control are requested at session establishment, in this case the IMS standard procedures using for direct interaction N5 reference point or Rx reference point as specified in 3GPP TS 23.228 [2] are used. The session description in this procedure shall encompass bandwidth information applicable for the transmission control traffic requirement. At group call setup the request for resources for the media plane is triggered. Either this request is sent directly from the MC service server to 5GS (PCF) or indirectly from the MC service server to 5GS (NEF). The procedure is optional and is suitable when the procedures for pre-established sessions are used. It may also be used to setup and tear down the media plane used between consecutive group calls in one communication session using the chat call model.

The SIP core request resources towards the 5GS according to the session establishment request. 5. Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]) initiated by the SIP Core. 6. The session establishment request is completed, and a response is sent towards the MC service client. 7. The MC service client sends a call setup message according to existing procedures. 8. The MC service server sends a session establishment request for resources for the media plane to 5GS, and the media plane is by that established. For direct interaction, the resource allocation request is exchanged between MC service server and 5GS PCF using N5 reference point or Rx reference point. For indirect interaction, the resource allocation request is exchanged between MC service server and 5GS NEF using N33 reference point. The respective procedures are defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]). This request includes media description relevant for the media plane. 9. Session management procedures using PCF policy control enforcement (as defined in 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]) initiated by the MC service server either directly via PCF or indirectly via NEF. 10. Group call is ongoing on the group communication session. 11. The MC service serve sends a release of media resources to 5GS, and the media plane is by that terminated. 12. The PCF performs session termination procedure according to 3GPP TS 23.503 [9]. 13. The PCF sends a session release response back to the MC service server. NOTE 1: The resources for transmission control are retained. NOTE 2: Step 7-11 can be repeated several times within the life cycle of one communication session.

7.3 MC service over 5G MBS
92c39d4e31dc10812fa1955d84ca0fc9
23.289
7.3.1 General
This subclause defines information flows and procedures for 5G MBS usage that applies to MC services. 5G MBS session can be used by any MC service for any MC service group. The following subclauses specify the procedures and information flows for the usage of 5G MBS transmission that are utilized by the following MC services: - MCPTT (as specified in 3GPP TS 23.379 [6]); - MCVideo (as specified in 3GPP TS 23.281 [4]); and - MCData (as specified in 3GPP TS 23.282 [5]). MC service specific pre-requisites and resultant behaviour by functional entities in performing these procedures are specified in the respective MC service TSs as listed above. The first phase to utilize MBS sessions for MC service media transmission is to have the sessions created hence the network resources are reserved. The MC service server may consider the UE's capabilities and service related information e.g., UE's MBS capabilities, location, MBS listening status report sent by group members when it decides to create or use MBS sessions. The MC service server needs to interact with the 5GC for this matter. During the interaction, the necessary information related to the requested session is determined, e.g., MBS session mode (either a broadcast or a multicast session) and the required QoS profile. This interaction depends on the configuration option under consideration, i.e., whether the MC service server is in trusted domain (limited operations), and whether the session creation is done with or without a dynamic PCC rule. NOTE 1: It is implementation specific whether the MC service server decides to use multicast or broadcast MBS sessions. NOTE 2: It is implementation specific whether the MC service server decides to create (one or multiple) MBS sessions for MC media for MC group communications associated to a certain MC group or create (one or multiple) dynamic MBS sessions once the need has emerged, e.g., dynamic MBS sessions to be associated for an ad hoc group. NOTE 3: It is implementation specific whether an MBS session is associated to one or multiple MC groups, and whether it is re-assigned to other MC groups. NOTE 4: How the MC service server uses the UE's capabilities and service related information in order to create and use the MBS session is implementation specific. The information elements describing the MBS session under consideration is then sent to the MC service clients via MBS session announcement, where the latter need to react according to the announced session mode. If eMBMS and 5G MBS co-exist for MC services, the MC service server may decide to trigger the establishment of an eMBMS bearer to deliver the MC media associated to the MC service group communications, if the target MC service group(s) consists of members with eMBMS capable UE. As a result, the MC service server subsequently needs to send an eMBMS bearer announcement towards the clients camping on LTE. NOTE 5: It is implementation specific whether the MC service server triggers an eMBMS bearer or a unicast bearer to serve MC service clients camping on LTE.

7.3.2.7 UnMapGroupFromSessionStream
Table 7.3.2.7-1 describes the information flow to disconnect an MC group communication call from an MBS session. It is sent from the MC service server to the MC service client, where the MC service can either be MCPTT, MCVideo or MCData services. Table 7.3.2.7-1: UnMapGroupFromSessionStream Information element Status Description MCPTT group ID M This element identifies the MC service group related to a group call to be dissociated over the MBS session. The MC service group ID is either MCPTT group ID, MCVideo group ID, or MCData group ID. Media stream identifier M This element identifies the media stream of the SDP, which is no longer used for the group call within the MBS session. In case separate media streams are used for audio and video stream in MCVideo services, a separate identifier is optinally used to identify the audio stream, which is no longer used. MBS session ID O Indicating the MBS session ID, if the information is sent over another MBS session or unicast path
