Rhino Sentinel VoLTE delivers these services in an LTE/IMS network, following the GSMA IR.92 (v9.0) and IR.94 (v10.0) standards.

  • With the exception of Message Waiting Indication (MWI), all IR.92 services are supported within Sentinel VoLTE. Using Sentinel Create, it is possible to extend the feature set to very easily include other services.

  • Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR) is also supported, even though it is not an IR.92 service.

Below are details of GSMA required MMTel supplementary services that Rhino Sentinel VoLTE supports.

Originating Identification Presentation/Restriction (OIP/OIR) (3GPP TS 24.607)

The OIP service provides the terminating user with the possibility of receiving trusted (network-provided) identity information in order to identify the originating user.

The OIR service is a service offered to the originating user that restricts presentation of the originating user’s identity information to the terminating user. Both permanent and temporary modes are supported.

This service is implemented by the features:

Terminating Identification Presentation/Restriction (TIP/TIR) (3GPP TS 24.608)

The Terminating Identification Presentation (TIP) service provides the originating party with the possibility of receiving trusted information in order to identify the terminating party.

The Terminating Identification Restriction (TIR) is a service offered to the terminating party which enables the terminating party to prevent presentation of the terminating identity information to the originating party. Both permanent and temporary modes are supported.

This service is implemented be the features:

Communication Diversion (CDIV) (3GPP TS 24.604)

The Communications Diversion (CDIV) service enables the diverting user to divert the communications addressed to the diverting user to another destination. This includes the following services:

CDIV condition Service behaviour

CFU (Unconditional)

Unconditionally divert communications to a different destination.

CFB (Busy)

Divert communications to a different destination on busy. User-determined busy (UDUB) is supported.

Divert communications to a different destination if the original destination is unreachable.

CD (Call Deflection)

Enables subscriber to divert incoming communications to a different destination.

CFNL (Not Logged In/Not Registered)

Divert communications to a different destination if the original destination is unregistered.

The CDIV service also checks and adds to the SIP history-info header as required, for example to determine if the diversion limit has been exceeded.

This service is implemented by the feature MMTelCDIV.

Communication Hold (HOLD) (3GPP TS 24.610)

The Communication Hold supplementary service enables a user to suspend the reception of media stream(s) of an established IP multimedia session, and resume the media stream(s) at a later time.

This service is implemented by the feature MMTelHold.

Operator Determined Barring (ODB) (3GPP TS 24.315 and TS 24.041)

The Operator Determined Barring (ODB) is not part of GSMA IR.92, but we include it here because it is related to barring conditions. ODB conditions are evaluated by the following services:

Service Behaviour

Incoming Communication Barring (ICB)

Rejects incoming communications that fulfil certain conditions, as specified by the operator.

Outgoing Communication Barring (OCB)

Rejects outgoing communications that fulfil certain conditions, as specified by the operator.

Explicit call transfer (ECT)

Barring of all outgoing communications to international destinations excluding home network.

Barring of Outgoing International when roaming

Barring of all outgoing communications roaming outside the home PLMN country.

Barring of All incoming

Barring of all international

Barring of Incoming International when roaming

Barring of all incoming communications roaming outside the home PLMN country.

Note 1: The indication of a "Premium Rate Communications Information or Entertainment" is defined on TS 24.315 Release 12.1.0 on Section 3.1:

indication that this communication is a Premium Rate Communication: the Request-URI of the received INVITE request includes the " premium-rate" tel URI parameter set to either the value "information" or the value "entertainment".

For more information see Operator Determined Barring.

Explicit Communication Transfer (ECT) (3GPP TS24.629)

The Explicit Communication Transfer (ECT) service enables a transferor to transfer the call to a transfer target. The Explicit Call Transfer service uses 3PCC Call Transfer Procedures in case the transferee can not handle the transfer request. There is more discussion of this service in the Explicit Communication Transfer page.

This service is implemented by the feature MMTelECT.

Communication Waiting (CW) (3GPP TS24.615)

The Communication Waiting (CW) service enables a terminating party to be informed at the time that a new communication is requested. The user then has the choice of accepting, rejecting, or ignoring the incoming communication.

This feature is implemented by the feature MMTelCW.

Ad-hoc multi-party conference (CONF) (3GPP 24.605)

Sentinel VoLTE supports three party conferencing (3PTY) as part of this service. The following operations are supported:

Supported Operations Notes

Conference Creation

Via a SIP REFER request.

Remove user from conference

Only the conference creator can remove participants from the call.

Terminate conference

The conference is terminated when the conference creator has left the call, or if the conference creator is the only party left in the conference.
