Dear Jin,

You questions are in Quotes

Lucent's contribution indicates that the alternatives
at hand have their faults. Which applies to the question
you asked.

Re-read the statement I do not think a MSC SERVER
means the same as an MSC switch.

The following is from Lucent's  document...
-- being of docuement copy ---

With this solution it is easier develop and to re-use existing
supplementary and IN services implementations. An MSC server
connected to the UTRAN handling CS mobiles is architecturally
in line with R99 MSCs and is less drastic a change.

This document compares the two options and makes
a recommendation on which should be standardized
as part of R00.

Use of ATM goes against the “All IP” definition.

3 PROPOSAL
Both solutions require a substantial amount of work.  Given that it is expected
that most networks will be migrating from Release 99 and hence will
support a CS domain in the core network, it is questionable as to the
real need for either of these solutions.

However, some operators may require that all traffic be carried over a
common IP network as in the MSC server proposal.
However, if a solution must be standardized, it would be
sensible to choose the solution that will require the minimum amount
of standardization work.  The MSC server proposal, although not complete, is
considered to be the easier to standardize.  The advantage of this solution is
that it does not impact the GPRS nodes with what can be
considered to be legacy support.
-- end of docuement copy --


We have proposed the MSGK as a MSC Server, in  TIPHON many
times since Tiphon 10. We are also working in the IP Mobility interworking with
legacy mobile systems. And we are working with other groups to include
IN into TIPHON.

The point here is that the work that 3GPP-2000 is just
started to look from a IP view, was started long before in TIPHON and SG16.

" I do not view  3GPP-2000 as a competitive architecture to TIPHON,
but one that should be complementary."

Regards,
Ed
