VoLTE Codec Negotiation


•Codec negotiation happens in SBC
(Session Border Controllers) based on
the supported codec of both origination SBC

and termination terminal in LTE-LTE
call.
•Codec negotiation happens in UMG
(Universal Media Gateway) based on
the supported codec of both origination
and termination terminal in LTE-CS call.

Default bearer: IMS signaling streams SIP signaling streams
Dedicated bearer: Voice media streams Voice media streams

 A default bearer(QCI5) is set up for IMS signaling streams when the UE attaches to the network.
 After the UE initiates a call, SIP signaling streams for call connection is transmitted over the de
fault bearer through the P-GW to the IMS Core.
 A dedicated bearer for IMS(QCI1) voice media streams is set up during call connection.
 Voice media streams of the calling and called parties are transmitted over the dedicated bearer.

SPS network impact
 KPI Impact :
 The average UL/DL MCS will be flat or decreased.

 Capacity Impacts
 increase the number of supported voice
 increase the number of RBs allocated to semi-persistently scheduled UEs near the cell center.
 In hybrid-service scenarios (where voice service UEs and other UEs coexist in a cell), the increase
in the number of RBs allocated to voice service UEs will cause a decrease in the number of RBs
available to other UEs, and consequently the cell throughput will decrease.
