This article presents several methods of mobile communication network to access technologies utilizing unlicensed spectrum interworking. Generic Access Network (GAN) technology was already specified in GERAN (GSM EDGE Radio Access Network) and Interworking WLAN (I-WLAN) was standardized for WCDMA system for WLAN user to access WCDMA packet based services through WLAN access point. Voice Call Continuity is not access network dependent technology but is a kind of domain change scheme for voice call from Circuit Switching (CS) network to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and vice versa.

Recently, as wired and wireless communication services have rapidly developed and multimodal mobile devices which have various characteristics have widely spread, the need for new convergence services increases. The growing population of VoIP technologies and the high communication expense yield that the market of IP based telephony such as WiFi phone and IP phone is substituted for one of the conventional PSTN telephony. With the help of this trend, the wireline network operators desire to find a market in mobile networks. Therefore, they focus on Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) service as one of the key factors to accomplish this goal. FMC services are able to provide the mobility of voice services between circuit switched and packet switched networks. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based Voice Call Continuity (VCC) is one of the schemes to embody FMC services. As Application Server (AS) which has this VCC function provides seamless handover of services between heterogeneous networks, FMC subscribers can communicate seamlessly with others m WiFi domain and COMA domain using WiFi-COMA dual phone. Most of enterprises have already introduced IP network infrastructure and IP-PBX (Private Branch eXchange) for telephony. However, the problems of high communication cost and work inefficiency due to frequent outside jobs or business trips have remained. In order to solve these problems, demands for enterprise FMC services increase. In this paper, we introduce a new IP-PBX based VCC model that can provide seamless handover of voice services between WiFi and COMA networks for enterprise users and we investigate some interworking and security issues between Soft Switch (SSW) and IMS, or between IMSs. In addition, we introduce a new service that can provide the continuity of voice sessions as well as video sessions using Multimedia Session Continuity (MMSC) technology which has evolved from VCC. This service is expected to be one of the next-generation personalized services based on user's context.

The standardization for Seamless IP Mobility between heterogeneous networks is being progressed according to each specific purpose of the organizations such as ITU-T (International Telecommunications Union - Telecommunication), 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project), IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force), and IEEE(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). [1] Specially VCC (Voice Call Continuity) for seamless voice continuity between heterogeneous networks using IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) of the next generation platform is being introduced into a few companies, and also MIH (Media Independent Handover) and MIP (Mobile IP) for IP mobility between heterogeneous networks are being customized by their internal situation. This article describes the idea to support IP Mobility between heterogeneous networks in the network which IMS platform is deployed and only supports the mobility for the voice by the type of AS (Application Server).

현재 통신 시장의 상황은 유무선 통신서비스 시장의 포화, 이동통신 시장의 기존 유선전화 규모 초과, 그리고 유선통신의 서비스 사업자의 영역 확대 도모 등을 특징으로 한다. 유무선 통합 (Fixed Mobile Convergence, FMC) 서비스는 유선통신 사업자를 중심으로 한 비즈니스 모델로 사용자에게 유무선 통신망 종류에 상관없이 일관되고 끊김없는 서비스를 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이동통신망까지 확대하여 고객 기반을 유지하고자 하는 유선사업자들은 FMC 서비스 중 하나의 방안으로 IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) 기반의 VCC(Voice Call Continuity) 기능에 주목하고 있다. VCC AS(Application Server)는 이종망 (WiFi-CDMA)간 Seamless 핸드오버기능을 수행하므로, WiFi 와 CDMA를 지원할 수 있는 듀얼단말을 이용하여 사용자가 WiFi 서비스 지역과 CDMA 서비스 지역간 이동시에도 Seamless 한 음성서비스를 제공한다. 이에 본 논문은 IMS/VCC 기반으로 음성 seamless 핸드오버 적용 사례(시범서비스)를 중심으로 유무선 통신사업자 상호 Win-Win을 추구할 수 있는 LG데이콤 특화 VCC 모델을 제시한다. 그리고 LG데이콤이 추구하는 차세대 서비스인 사용자 context 기반의 개인화된 서비스 제공을 위한 IMS 기반 통합 프로파일/인증/과금 연구 동향에 대해 간략히 소개한다.
