SRVCC Identities
Session transfer
STN-SRnumber for Correlation MSISDN
C-MSISDN
SRVCC (STN-SR) (C-MSISDN)
• Used for Session Transfer of Call • Used for correlation of sessions
to CS Domain at access transfer
• E.164 Nomenclature ( Similar to • MSISDN of User in CS Network
MSRN ) • Helps to Identify Session to be
• Flow Transferred
• HSS -> MME (s6, Attach Flow)
• MME -> MSC (Sv, PS->CS Req)
• MSC -> IMS ( Voice Call )

Enhanced SRVCC ( eSRVCC )
Benefits of eSRVCC Changes Done for eSRVCC
• Interruption Time Reduced • Anchoring Point Change
• SRVCC : 800-1000 ms • SRVCC : Home SCC-AS ( Call
• eSRVCC : < 300 ms Must Go Back to Home
Network for Roamers )
• eSRVCC : Serving Network
ATCF/ATGW ( Call can be
Switched in Visited Network
Itself – This Saves Time )
