Study on PS domain services and capabilities
This Technical Report provides background information, motivations, descriptions of service drivers, and concepts regarding general service requirements and service features of Release 2000, consisting of an evolved Release 99, and IP multimedia services.
The evolved Release 99 and the first phase of IP multimedia services of 3GPP Release 2000 are described in this TR provide the basis for the detailed Stage 1 specification work. The IP multimedia services will be developed in a phased approach and a longer term vision is presented in the report.
The focus of the TR is:
• Support and evolution of 3GPP Release 99
• High level vision of multimedia services
• Examination of potential service drivers
• New and evolved service capabilities and end user benefits
• Evaluation of what does and does not need to be standardised
• Release a Feature List of global interest and potential service candidates
• Case study of realisation of some services (e.g. CFU)
This TR has been created to ease the development of 3GPP Release 2000, and this document can be used to guide 3GPP in the creation of new specifications and CRs to existing specifications for the realisation of mobile communications services based on the Release 2000 specifications.
