Macrocell (3G/4G) § Voice coverage with
uniform bandwidth, but not always where people are
§ Limited data capacity § Sub-optimal delivery of
high BW to POPs § High CapEx/OpEx: $400K § Poor spectral efficiency § New sites: Zoning issues Wi-Fi/Femto/Pico § Delivers targeted coverage
and capacity § Support high-capacity data § Precision delivery of high
BW to POPs § Lower CapEx/OpEx § Good spectral efficiency § Low environmental impact

Case Study • Historical façade, Modern Interior
• 36,000 m2 of floor space • 2,000 tones of steel • 5,500 m2 glazing
• Open-plan Atrium Construction • Multi-occupancy (5 separate companies) • 8 occupied upper floors • 3 x sub basements
• 1200 employees and 200+ Roamers
• Coverage & capacity limited
• Located next to an underground subway station
• Very strong macro signal on ground floor

Maximize Throughput & Battery Savings with HDVX for VoWi-Fi
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps11983/at_a_glance_c45-691984.pdf
• ClientLink 3.0 focuses multiple transmit antennas in the direction of the client – better transmissions
• ClientLink 3.0 optimizes network capacity by ensuring that 802.11a/n and 802.11ac clients operate at the best possible rates, especially when they are near cell boundaries – maximizes throughput
• ClientLink 3.0 enables consistent 256 QAM with m9 rate on the 3700 – 1.3 Gbps speeds
• ClientLink 3.0 improves battery life

Unmatched Speed to Deliver HDVX for VoWi-Fi in Dense Environments PERFORMANCE
• 802.11ac provides up to 1.3 Gbps
• Advanced hardware architecture and an efficient packet scheduler is required to keep up with client counts of 60+ per radio
• On-radio caching technology leverages additional RAM for per-client queuing techniques

1. Wi-Fi already carrying the bulk of smartphone data
2. IEEE 802.11ac already delivering speeds in excess of LTE-Advanced
3. Carrier neutrality enables Wi-Fi to be supported by venue-centric value chains
4. Wi-Fi Calling and iMessenge demonstrate how the most valuable cellular bytes can now be transported over Wi-Fi networks
5. Native ePDG client enables conversational services to be seamlessly supported between Wi-Fi and cellular
6. Carrier Wi-Fi networks have already leapfrogged LTE in terms of dimensioning – average per user sustained busy hour rates approaching 100 kbps in certain deployments
7. Overly complex cellular architecture is no longer needed in a “good enough” world
Time for a new mission statement? Time for “Wi-Fi First”?

Voice over Wi-Fi Models and Value Creation
• Leverage 100s MHz of free spectrum to enable all services to be delivered over Wi-Fi
• Address in-door coverage and capacity without additional licensed radio build out
• Become more relevant to subscribers by offering Wi-Fi calling on non-SIM devices
• Increase customer engagement/analytics even when they are “off” the cellular network

VoWifi in the spotlight
Major Use cases/drivers • Complement Indoor Macro Radio VoLTE Coverage for residential and enterprise
• Voice on non-SIM device (like wifi iPad) • Compete with OTT VoIP
52 © 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential
• Yet, this is not a new topic and there have been past deployments with experiences • UMA for 2G services over WiFi • WiFi enterprise services with different options
• Dedicated voice over WiFi clients within mobile phones (e.g. Cisco with Nokia and Blackberry) • Specific voice over WiFi phone (e.g. Cisco 7920)
• Lessons learned at the time • Lack of capable handsets was a major issue for UMA • WiFi access layer needs enhancements for voice handling including mobility • Requires continuity and compatibility of services between WiFi and macro networks
Comeback of Voice over Wi-Fi Is this something new?

• Residential Wi-Fi • Usually good quality and not congested
• Community & Coffee shop Wi-Fi • Open does not mean immediately available • Congestion could become a concern
• Enterprises • 802.11n and now ac providing high capacity network • However, many enterprises do block IPSec to untrusted external peers • Multiple AP’s make Wi-Fi mobility unpredictable • Multiple VoWiFi calls could be impacted
Is VoWiFi equally applicable to all indoor deployments ? Infrastructure, Environment and Policies do matter

• ePDG is part of the 3GPP LTE SAE defined in 3GPP TS 23.402
• ePDG is responsible for interworking between the EPC and un-trusted non-3GPP networks, such as WiFi access networks.
• ePDG terminates IPSec tunnels established/initiated by UEs via un-trusted WiFi network for secure access to the EPC.

Internet VoWi-Fi Network Architecture
• VoWifi Architecture requires: • ePDG • 3GPP AAA • PGW with s2b support • PCRF • IMS Core infrastructure • TAS • VoWifi capable UEs • HSS
• VoWifi capable UE pre-loaded with operator profile
• UE discovers the ePDG using DNS lookup for ePDG FQDN – Statically or dynamically configured in Operator File
• UE establishes IPSEC tunnel to ePDG
• ePDG sets up a PDN session to PGW on behalf of UE
• PGW allocates IP address and manages P-CSCF discovery – provides P-CSCF details to UE
• UE SIP registers with SBC/PCSCF
• UE makes/receives call via IMS/TAS • P-CSCF discovery over IKE or operator profile
