• PTSC: Packet Technologies and Systems Committee
  • Issue: 0176
  • Title: Revision of ATIS-1000066.2023, Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS) Network Element Requirements for IMS-based Next Generation Network (NGN) Phase 2
  • Statement: Establishment of an NGN GETS call/session relies on prior successful IMS registration. However, IMS registration can be hampered due to several potential use cases, including avalanche registrations (e.g., based on recovery / restart following an outage) or due to general SIP overload (e.g., based on an extreme calling event that causes throttling of SIP registration attempts). To address these situations, it is important to exempt SIP registration attempts by NGN GETS subscribed UEs from overload controls, while throttling SIP requests from other (non-priority) UEs.
  • Resolution:
  • Status: New Issue
