Tip This feature is for CDMA networks.

This feature is triggered from the I-CSCF and retrieves reorigination information. It retrieves the subscriber’s assigned S-CSCF either from an HSS or from a profile from network configuration and then acts as a B2BUA between the I-CSCF and the subscriber’s assigned S-CSCF .

It is one of two components that enable circuit switched originating calls to be processed in the SCC-AS. The related component is the CDMA ReOrigination Service. These components are part of service centralization in the IMS for CDMA networks.

Note For this feature’s fit into the overall flow, please see the Reorigination basic flow diagram.

Relevant specifications

  • 3GPP2 X.S0042-D v1.0

  • GSMA IR.64.

Network operator data

Common network configuration data is stored in a profile table named SCCCommonReOriginationConfigProfileTable.

Behaviour

The feature is triggered on receipt of a SIP INVITE from the I-CSCF.

It checks for network operator data. If not present, the feature informs Sentinel that it failed to execute due to invalid configuration.

It looks at the received INVITE Request URI, and checks that it represents a phone number.

If the network configuration indicates a prefix is in use, it checks that the request URI’s digits start with that prefix. If not, the feature finishes execution without modifying any state. In other words, this is treated as an INVITE that is not for this feature.

The feature then attempts to retrieve the correlation data that was stored by the CDMA reorigination service. This data is looked up using the request URI’s digits as the key for the correlation data.

If correlation data is not found, the feature finishes execution without modifying any state.

If a P-Asserted-Identity header is present on the incoming INVITE, and a phone number can be extracted from it, it is normalised and compared to the (normalised) calling party number extracted from the ORREQ or ANLYZD. If they are different, the request is rejected with a 403 response. This functionally can be disabled using the PoliceOriginatingRequests configuration flag.

Next, the feature then retrieves the S-CSCF name for the calling party from either of two places based on the SkipHSSLookup flag:

Flag Value Effect

TRUE

Use the value in DirectRoutingURI from network configuration.

FALSE

Do a lookup from the HSS through the Sh Cache Microservice RA and the Sh Cache Microservice.

The feature then adjusts or sets various headers in the outgoing INVITE.

Finally, the Sentinel SIP instance hosting this feature acts as a B2BUA between the I-CSCF and the S-CSCF.

SIP headers in the outgoing INVITE

The feature sets or adjusts the following headers in the outgoing INVITE:

Header Name Change

Request-URI

Set to a tel URI with the digits being the original IDP’s called party number digit string (non-BCD encoded).

To

Set to the original IDP’s called party number digit string (non-BCD encoded).

History-Info

If only one such header exists on the INVITE, it is removed.

P-Asserted-Identity

If it is not present in the INVITE it is set to a tel URI using the calling party number from the original IDP.

Privacy

Set to ONLY_IDENTITY if the original IDP has presentation RESTRICTED or NETWORK_RESTRICTED.

Route

A new route to the S-CSCF for the served user is added, if the feature was invoked on an originating trigger an orig parameter will be included.

OC-Billing-ID

The BillingID from the OriginationRequest or AnalyzedInformation.

P-Profile-Key

If such header exists in the INVITE, it is removed.

Note The OC-Billing-ID is a proprietary header created by OpenCloud. The OC-Billing-ID header is added so the original CDMA request can be correlated with the ongoing SIP session when it reaches MMTel.
