- Figure 10 is a block diagram alternatively illustrating apparatuses according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention.
- the following description of the present invention and its embodiments mainly refers to specifications being used as non-limiting examples for certain exemplary network configurations and deployments. Namely, the present invention and its embodiments are mainly described in relation to 3GPP specifications being used as non-limiting examples for certain exemplary network configurations and deployments.
- communication in relation to media handling for interworking of mission critical push to talk and land mobile radio is used as a non-limiting example for the applicability of thus described exemplary embodiments.
- the description of exemplary embodiments given herein specifically refers to terminology which is directly related thereto. Such terminology is only used in the context of the presented non-limiting examples, and does naturally not limit the invention in any way. Rather, any other communication or communication related system deployment, etc. may also be utilized as long as compliant with the features described herein.
- the present invention is made considering on the circumstance that TS 23.283 describes that MCPTT system is connected to LMR system via interworking function (IWF), which is a connecting point between the MCPTT and the LMR.
- IWF interworking function
- Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of signaling sequences in the context of a call request issued by a MCPTT client and in particular illustrates an MCPTT originated private call to an LMR system.
- the MCPTT user at the MCPTT client initiates an MCPTT private call.
- the MCPTT client sends an MCPTT private call request towards the MCPTT server ( Figure 7, 1.).
- the MCPTT private call request contains the MCPTT ID corresponding to the LMR called user and a session description protocol (SDP) offer containing one or more media types.
- SDP session description protocol
- the MCPTT server serving the originating MCPTT user checks whether the MCPTT user at the MCPTT client is authorized to initiate the private call (Figure 7, 2.).
- the MCPTT server also checks whether the MCPTT user at the MCPTT client is authorized to initiate a call in automatic commencement mode.
- an IWF private call request is forwarded towards the involved IWF ( Figure 7, 3.), which in turn sends an IWF private call response to the MCPTT server ( Figure 7, 4.).
- the MCPTT server transmits an MCPTT private call response to the MCPTT client ( Figure 7, 5.), and the Media plane for this call is established ( Figure 7, 6.).
- the current specifications do not describe any media specific aspects of the private call request sent out from the MCPTT client and how it is handled in the MCPTT server.
- the originating MCPTT client does not know when it has to include the LMR specific media description and when it has to include MCPTT specific media description, as it does not know whether the target is a MCPTT UE or a LMR UE.
- LMR specific media description may be used for calls from MCPTT UE to MCPTT UE, which according the current 3GPP standards is not allowed, and further the terminating MCPTT UE may not support the LMR specific media description. This will lead to call failure.
- the codecs (media descriptions) used in LMR system is/are different from those used in MCPTT system.
- MCPTT servers need to be enabled to control the usage of media/codec based on whether the target is an MCPTT UE or a LMR UE.
- the MCPTT server serving the originating MCPTT user when authorization for a private call is performed by the MCPTT server serving the originating MCPTT user, the following points are considered as well, namely, that the media description has to be according to the target system of the private call, and that private calls towards LMR are only allowed for an authorized MCPTT UE.
- the MCPTT server serving the originating MCPTT user will authorize/handle the usage of media described in the originating session request such that

- At least some of the functionalities of the apparatus shown in Figure 3 may be shared between two physically separate devices forming one operational entity. Therefore, the apparatus may be seen to depict the operational entity comprising one or more physically separate devices for executing at least some of the described processes.
- Such exemplary modifying operation (S63) may comprise an operation of adapting, if said indicator is indicative of that said target terminal is discriminated as said land mobile radio type target terminal, said call request to comprise at least one land mobile radio assigned media description and no mission critical push to talk assigned media description.
- exemplary details of the modifying operation (S63) are given, which are inherently independent from each other as such.

- said land mobile radio assigned media description is an algebraic code-excited linear prediction codec.
- said mission critical push to talk assigned media description is one of an adaptive multi-rate wideband codec and an enhanced voice services codec.
- an exemplary method according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention may comprise an operation of selecting a default media description as said initial media description based on a characteristic of said call.
- an algebraic code-excited linear prediction codec is selected as said initial media description.
- said algebraic code-excited linear prediction codec is not selected as said initial media description.
- said default media description is defined by a configuration parameter provided by means of at least one of a management object, a mission critical push to talk type originating terminal configuration, a user profile corresponding to a user of said mission critical push to talk type originating terminal, and a service profile.
- an authorization procedure for private call requests performed by the MCPTT server is characterized in that, when the MCPTT server receives an INVITE request for a private call ( Figure 8, 1.; Figure 9, 1.), the MCPTT server determines whether the target of the private call is an UE connected to MCPTT system or UE connected to LMR system ( Figure 8, 2.; Figure 9, 2.). This can be found out by inspecting the URI of the invited party (terminating UE).
- the resulting flow when the MCPTT client uses an LMR media description in a private call request despite the target is MCPTT UE is described with reference to Figure 8.
- the resulting flow when the MCPTT client uses an MCPTT media description in a private call request despite the target is LMR UE is described with reference to Figure 9.
- the MCPTT server may check the originating user's user profile ( Figure 9, 2.). Namely, it is possible that only for MCPTT users that are allowed to make private calls towards LMR system the MCPTT server continues with call establishment. Otherwise the private call request is rejected.
- the MCPTT server checks ( Figure 9, 2.) whether the media description only contains MCPTT system compliant media formats (e.g. AMR-WB and EVS media description).
- the MCPTT server sends a SIP 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response as an example for a negative response ( Figure 9, 3.).
- the SIP 488 response contains an indicator that clearly identifies the terminating side as being an LMR target, so that originating side can subsequently send an (a new) INVITE ( Figure 9, 4.).
- the MCPTT server only allows media description compliant for the MCPTT system, i.e. AMR-WB and EVS ( Figure 8, 2.). If other media description is included, then the MCPTT either removes those media descriptions or sends back a SIP 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response as an example for a negative response ( Figure 8, 3.). The negative response indicates that only the MCPTT compliant media descriptions are to be used for the call setup to the specific target. The originating side can subsequently send an (a new) INVITE ( Figure 8, 4.).
- an MCPTT private call request is sent towards the terminating UE ( Figure 8, 6.; Figure 9, 6.), where the private call request includes the compliant codecs/media descriptions.
- the terminating UE sends an IWF private call response to the MCPTT server ( Figure 8, 7.; Figure 9, 7.).
- the MCPTT server transmits an IWF private call response to the MCPTT client ( Figure 8, 8.; Figure 9, 8.), and the Media plane for this call is established ( Figure 8, 9.; Figure 9, 9.).
- a configuration parameter e.g. called "Mission Critical Default Voice Codec" is defined.
- the parameter may be part of the management object, and/or MCPTT UE configuration, and/or the user profile, and/or the service profile. This would allow the service provider to guide MCPTT UEs which codec is offered in the initial request.
- ACELP when the volume of MCPTT UE is low, then it might be preferable to set ACELP as a default codec whereas when MCPTT UE penetration exceeds legacy UEs connected to the system then default codec could be set to something else than ACELP codec. In so doing, shortest possible setup times can be ensured for private call requests (e.g. by the service provider).
- the principles of the present invention as set out above can be applied as well in a scenario in which the originating terminal in a interworking situation of mission critical push to talk and land mobile radio is a land mobile radio type terminal.
