91. Subscriber wants to make international call using carrier select?

The Carrier Preselect (CPS) service allows the operator to set up data on the end-user’s behalf to
override the default carrier and select a carrier based on call type (for example national call or
international call).
The Carrier Select (CS) service allows an end-user to override the default carrier, and CPS if
provided, and signal (either by using a Carrier Select Code (CSC) prefix or a Carrier Identification
Code (cic) parameter added directly to the request URI) which carrier to use for a particular call.
183)
Registration event package uses which kind of SIP method?

184) Redundancy techniques/mechanisms:

a. 2N (Also Know As 1 + 1): Redundancy technique/mechanism that employs two identical sets of
isolated resources. 1+1 redundancy can be employed on interface level, on board/blade level, node level
or site level.

An example of 1+1 could be on board level where the active board sends information (e.g. State) to the
back-up, the backup takes the information, populates its own structures, and waits. When failover
occurs, the backup starts running with minimal start up overhead.
b. N+M (Also Know as N+1): Redundancy technique/mechanism that employs an extra/spare set of
resources. N+1 redundancy can be employed on interface level, on board/blade level, node level or site
level. N+1 ensures that the services in case of failure always has one set of resources that can take
over.

An example of N+1 could be on board level where one backup board for every “N” active board’s is
required. The active boards all send information (e.g. state) to the back-up, the backup takes the
information, populates its own structures, and waits. When failover occurs, the backup must select the
proper subset of structures to use, and may have to copy that data to a “working” set of structures.

74. I-CSCF functionalities? An Interrogating-CSCF (I-CSCF) is another SIP function located at the edge of
an administrative domain. Its IP address is published in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the domain
(usingNAPTR and SRV type of DNS records), so that remote servers can find it, and use it as a forwarding
point (e.g., registering) for SIP packets to this domain.
it queries the HSS to retrieve the address of the S-CSCF and assign it to a user performing SIP registration
it also forwards SIP request or response to the S-CSCF
Up to Release 6 it can also be used to hide the internal network from the outside world (encrypting parts of
the SIP message), in which case it's called a Topology Hiding Inter-network Gateway (THIG). From Release 7
onwards this "entry point" function is removed from the I-CSCF and is now part of the Interconnection
Border Control Function (IBCF). The IBCF is used as gateway to external networks, and provides NAT and
firewall functions (pinholing). The IBCF is practically a Session Border Controller specialized for the NNI.

75. How does ims system recognize online and offline charging? For Online Charging CCR
messages are used and for offline ACR messages are used.
CCR(Initial) is generated at INVITE to request for permission, CCR(Update) is sent at 200OK,
media re-negotiation or quota expiry. CCR(Terminate) is sent at BYE. ACR(Start) is generated at
200OK(INVITE) and ACR(Stop) at BYE. An ACR(Interim) can be generated at long lasting calls
(timer) or at re-negotiation of the media (200OK to reINVITE or UPDATE).
The Diameter Session-Id and the SIP Call-Id can also be used in the consolidation of charging data

location share and file sharing.

88. Codec Agreement and disagreement: the Codecs for a dialog are Agreed upon using SDP
information present in a INVITE and the Response present in 200OK.

89. How parallel charging details are fetched: Parallel sessions are charged using Related-IMS
Charging Identifier (ICID) AVP.

90. How prepaid and postpaid subscribers are differentiated: The Service Profile of a User specified
in HSS differentiates Prepaid and Post Paid Subscribers. Also the Charging triggers are passed on
to all nodes during registration.

It is the PCFA and PCV headers that differentiate Online or Offline charging. The header P-Charging-
Function-Addresses (PCFA) is used to provide the address of the charging server to nodes in a
communication session that can initiate charging sessions. S-CSCF downloads at registration the user
profile from HSS. The user profile contains primary CDF address and optionally it may contain
secondary CDF address as well as primary and secondary OCS addresses. S-CSCF adds the PCFA header
to SIP messages sent or received over the ISC interface or within a trusted network (for originating
and terminating call legs). The P-Charging-Vector (PCV) is generated by the entry point in the IMS
network and is used to transfer correlation information for charging, e.g. ICID and Inter Operator
Identifiers (IOI).
