Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 1. Overview As mobile devices improve, and include more enhanced capabilities for IP-based multimedia communications, they will remain limited in terms of bandwidth, display size and computational power. Stationary IP multimedia endpoints, including hardware IP phones, videoconferencing units, embedded devices and software phones allow more convenience of use, but not mobility. The seamless transition between these devices allows them to be used concurrently or interchangeably in mid- session, combining the advantages of both into a single "virtual device." Since the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [1] has been chosen by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as its standard for session establishment in the Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) [16] and it is being deployed in hardware and software IP multimedia clients, it is natural to specify an architecture to provide this seamless, ubiquitous service using SIP. Such a SIP-based approach is first given in [22], where two different methods are proposed, third-party call control (3PCC) [2] and the REFER method [3]. This document expands on this concept, defining a complete system for session mobility. The aim of this system is to allow a Mobile Node to discover available devices and to include them in an active session. In order to accomplish this, two main components are defined: o Service Location - At all times, a user is aware of the devices which are available in his local area, along with their capabilities. o Session Mobility - While in a session with a remote participant, the user may transfer any subset of the active media services to one or more devices. As described above, this document describes Session Mobility for SIP. Service location, on the other hand, does not depend on any particular protocol. Many different models exist for providing this service, and this document discusses the tradeoffs involved in choosing between them. For our examples, however, we have decided to use the Service Location Protocol (SLP) [17]. 2. Requirements This session mobility framework seeks to fulfill the following requirements: o REQ 1: Interoperability - No special capabilities should be required of the remote participant in the call, as long as he is using a SIP-compliant device or there is a PSTN gateway between them. The device should be capable of handling a transfer by the mobile user utilizing only features specified in Requests For Comments (RFCs) and mature Internet Drafts. Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 o REQ 2: Backward Compatibility - Both mobility-enhanced and basic devices should be available as destinations for transfer. Mobility-enhanced devices are those that are controlled by software that is enhanced to support special call handling and service discovery. Commercial IP phones and embedded devices are basic since they cannot be enhanced to support such capabilities. o REQ 3: Flexibility - Differences in device capabilities should be reconciled. Transfer should be possible to devices that do not support the codec being used in the session, and even to devices that do not have a codec in common with the remote participant. A transfer should also take into account device differences in display resolution and bandwidth. o REQ 4: Seamlessness - Session transfer should be as seamless as possible. It should involve minimal disruption of the media flow and should not appear to the remote participant as a new call. 3. Component Overview Session Mobility involves five basic components: The Correspondent Node (CN), the Mobile Node (MN), the local devices, an SLP Directory Agent (DA), and, optionally, a transcoder. The Correspondent Node (CN) is a basic multimedia endpoint being used by a remote participant and may be located anywhere. It may be a SIP UA, or a PSTN phone reachable through a gateway. The Mobile Node (MN) is a mobile device, containing a SIP User Agent (UA) for standard SIP call setup, as well as specialized SIP-handling capabilities for session mobility and an SLP [17] User Agent (UA) for service querying. The local devices are located in the user's local environment, for discovery and use in his current session. They may be mobility- enhanced or basic. Basic devices, such as IP phones, are SIP- enabled, but have no other special capabilities. Mobility-enhanced devices have SLP Service Agent capabilities for advertising their services and session mobility handling. They also contain an SLP UA, whose purpose will be explained in the discussion of multi-device systems in Section 5.3.3. The SLP Directory Agent (DA) keeps track of devices based on their location and capabilities. SLP will be described in more detail in Section 4. SIP-based transcoding services [18] are used, when necessary, to translate between media streams, as described in Section 6. 4. Service Location A mobile node must be able to discover suitable devices in its vicinity. It is possible for devices in close proximity to be discovered by direct methods such as Bluetooth without the use of centralized servers. On the other hand, many centralized directory- Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 based service discovery protocols exist, such as the Service Location Protocol (SLP). These protocols are general and are not based on physical locations of services, but they may be easily adapted by adding location attributes to the service description [27]. They have the advantage of allowing discovery of devices at different location granularities, such as at the room or building level, and in a location other than that of the device. They have the disadvantage of requiring mobile devices to discover their location in order to perform such queries. We have chosen to use a general protocol, SLP, for device discovery in this document. Many standard technologies may be used to update the mobile node of its location for use in an SLP query. Indoors, the node can receive its civic coordinates (ie., street address, room number, etc.) either directly or indirectly. With direct methods, the location is sent to the node itself by means such as a Bluetooth beacon. Indirect methods use external location sources such as swipe cards to update the user's location. The mobile node subscribes to the user's location as part of his presence [23] which has been suggested by [24] as a way to receive location updates in the format standardized in [20]. Outdoors, a mobile device may use direct methods such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) [21] to update it on its geospatial coordinates. Online databases can translate these to civic coordinates. The choice of location technology is beyond the scope of this document. Once the node has obtained its location, it uses SLP to query for available devices in the vicinity that may be used as transfer destinations. SLP identifies services by a "service type," a "service URL," which can be any URL, and a set of attributes, defined as name-value pairs. For the SIP devices in this framework, we assume a service type called "sip-device," whose SIP URL, such as sip:audio_rm123@example.com or sip:audio@device1.example.com serves as its service URL. The first URL mentioned is an address of record that is used to connect to the device through the local proxy server, while the second URL includes the name of the host on which the service is provided, "device1.example.com," allowing a point-to-point session to be established with the device. Either of these models may be used, although the proxy model will likely make the device available after an IP address change more quickly than in the point- to-point model, where the DNS entry would take longer to be updated unless dynamic DNS were used. The service description also includes attributes specifying device characteristics (e.g., vendor, supported media codec, display resolution) and location parameters, such as street address and room number. SLP defines Service Agents (SAs) which send descriptions of services using the Service Registration (SrvReg) message, and User Agents (UA) Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 which query for services using the Service Request (SrvRqst) message. SAs are co-located with SIP UAs on mobility-enhanced devices, while a separate SA is available to send SrvReg messages on behalf of basic devices, which do not have integrated SLP SAs. SLP provides two models for a UA to query for services. In the distributed model, the UA sends requests through multicast and SAs reply directly with the details of the service they provide. In the centralized model, a Directory Agent (DA) is used, to which the SAs register and from which the UAs request services. For our examples, we use the centralized model, though either could be used. The SA registers its service description to the DA with a service registration (SrvReg) message that includes its service type, service URL and attribute- value set. A UA queries for services by sending the service request (SrvRqst) message, narrowing the query based on service type and attribute values. It receives a reply (SrvRply) that contains a list of URLs of services that match the query. The Mobile Node includes an SLP UA that discovers available local devices and displays them to the user, showing, for example, a map of all devices in a building or a list of devices in a current room. Once the MN receives its current location in some manner, its SLP UA issues a SrvRqst message to the DA requesting all SIP devices, using the location attributes to filter out those which are not in the current room. A SrvRply message is sent to the mobile device with a list of SIP URIs for all devices on the floor. A separate Attribute Request (AttrRqst) is then sent for each URL to get the attributes of the service, which include the room where the device is located. The MN displays for the user the available devices in the room, and their attributes. Figure 1 shows this protocol flow. Shacham, et al.

Session Mobility 5.1. Options for Session Mobility 5.1.1. Transfer and Retrieval Session mobility involves both transfer and retrieval of an active session. Transfer means to move the session on the current device to one or more other devices. Retrieval means to remotely transfer a session currently on another device to the local device. This may mean to return a session to the device on which it had originally been before it was transferred to another device. For example, after discovering a large video monitor, a user transfers the video output stream to that device. When he walks away, he returns the stream to his mobile device for continued communication. One may also retrieve a session to a device that had not previously carried it. For example, a participant in an audio call on his stationary phone may leave his office in the middle of the call and transfer the call to the mobile device as he is running out the door. 5.1.2. Whole and Split Transfer Session media may either be transferred completely to a single device or be split across multiple devices. For instance, a user may only wish to transfer the video of his session while maintaining the audio Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 8] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 on his PDA. Alternatively, he may find separate video and audio devices and wish to transfer one media service to each. Furthermore, even the two directions of a full-duplex session may be split across devices. For example, a PDA's display may be too small for a good view of the other call participant, so the user may transfer video output to a projector and continue to use the PDA camera. 5.1.3. Transfer Modes Two different modes are possible for session transfer, Mobile Node Control mode and Session Handoff mode. 5.1.3.1. Mobile Node Control (MNC) Mode In Mobile Node Control Mode, the Mobile Node uses third-party call control [2]. It establishes a SIP session with each device used in the transfer and updates its session with the CN, using the SDP parameters to establish media sessions between the CN and each device, which take the place of the current media session with the CN. The shortcoming of this approach is that it requires the MN to remain active to maintain the sessions. 5.1.3.2. Session Handoff (SH) Mode A user may need to transfer a session completely because the battery on his mobile device is running out. Alternatively, the user of a stationary device who leaves the area and wishes to transfer the session to his mobile device, will not want the session to remain on the stationary device when he is away, since it will allow others to easily tamper with his call. In such case, Session Handoff mode, which completely transfers the session signaling and media to another device, is useful. We have found MNC mode to be more interoperable with existing devices used on the CN's side. The remainder of this section describes the transfer, retrieval and splitting of sessions in each of the two session transfer modes. 5.1.4. Types of Transferred Media A communication session may consist of a number of media types, and a user should be able to transfer any of them to his device of choice. This document considers audio, video and messaging. Audio and video are carried by RTP and negotiated in the SDP body of the SIP requests and responses. Three different methods exist for carrying messaging of text, and possibly other MIME types, that are suitable for SIP endpoints. RTP may be used to transport text payloads based on [9]. Any examples given for audio and video will work identically for Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 9] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 text, as only the payloads differ. For the transfer of whole messages, either the SIP MESSAGE method [25] or the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) [7] may be used. MESSAGE is used to send individual page-mode messages. The messages are not associated as part of a session, and no negotiation is done to establish a session. Typically, a SIP UA will allow the user to send MESSAGE requests during an established dialog, and they are sent to the same contact address as all signaling messages are sent in mid-session. We discuss later how these messages are affected by session mobility. MSRP, on the other hand, is based on sessions that are established like the real-time media sessions previously described. As such, transferring them is similar to transferring other media sessions. However, this document will point out where special handling is necessary for these types of sessions. 5.2. Mobile Node Control Mode 5.2.1. Transfer to a Single Local Device 5.2.1.1.

Figure 2 shows the message flow for transferring a session to a single local device. It follows Third Party Call Control Flow I specified in [2] which is recommended as long as the endpoints will immediately answer. The MN sends a SIP INVITE request to the local Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 10] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 device used for the transfer, requesting that a new session be established, but not including an SDP body. The local device's response contains an SDP body that includes the address and ports it will use for any media, as well as a list of codecs it supports for each. The MN updates the session with the CN by sending an INVITE message (re-INVITE) containing the local device's media parameters in the SDP body, as follows: v=0 c=IN IP4 av_device.example.com m=audio 4400 RTP/AVP 0 8 a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000 m=video 5400 RTP/AVP 31 34 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 The MN may select a subset of the media returned, and use that in the request sent to the CN. For example, if it only wishes to transfer an audio session to a local device that supports audio and video, it will isolate the appropriate media line for audio. The CN sends a response and includes, in its body, the media parameters that it will use, which may or may not be the same as the ones used in the existing session. The MN sends an ACK message to the local device, which includes these parameters in the body. The MN has established separate SIP session with the CN and the local device, but a media flow has been established between the CN and the local device. 5.2.1.2. MSRP Sessions The message sequence for transferring an MSRP message session using MNC mode is identical to that used for audio or video, in Figure 2, although the contents of the messages differ. To simplify the example, we assume that an MSRP session, with no other media, is being transferred to a local messaging device, MSGN. An empty INVITE request (1) is sent to the local messaging node, MSGN, as follows: INVITE sip:msgn@msgn.example.com SIP/2.0 To: From: ;tag=786 Call-ID: 893rty@mn.example.com Content-Type: application/sdp The messaging node responds with all of its media capabilities, including MSRP, as follows (2): Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 11] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 SIP/2.0 200 OK To: ;tag=087js From: ;tag=786 Call-ID: 893rty@mn.example.com Content-Type: application/sdp v=0 c=IN IP4 msgn.example.com m=message 52000 msrp/tcp * a=accept-types:text/plain a=path:msrp://msgn.example.com:12000/kjhd37s2s2;tcp m=audio 4400 RTP/AVP 0 8 a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000 m=video 5400 RTP/AVP 31 34 a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000 a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 The same request is then sent by the MN to the CN (3), but containing the MSRP media and attribute lines with the path given in the MSGN response above. The CN responds (4) with its own path. The MN includes this in the ACK that it sends to the MSGN (6). MSRP sessions are carried over a reliable connection, using TCP or TLS. Therefore, unlike in the case of real-time media, this connection must be established. According to the MSRP specifications, the initiator of a message session, known as the "offerer", must be the active endpoint, opening the TCP connection between them. In this transfer scenario, the offerer of both sessions is the MN, who is on neither end of the desired TCP connection. As such, neither end point will establish the connection. A negotiation mechanism could be used to assign the role of active endpoint during session setup. However, while MSRP leaves open this possiblity, it is not currently included due to complexity. The only other way that such session transfer would be possible is if both the CN and the local device ordinarily use an MSRP relay [8], since no direct connection must be established between them. When each new endpoint receives the INVITE request from the MN, it will create a TLS connection with one of its preconfigured relays if such a connection does not yet exist (the CN will already have one because of its session with the MN) and receive the path of the relay. In its response to the MN, it will include the entire path that must be traversed to it, including its relay, in the path attribute. For instance, the response from the MSGN will look as follows: Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 12] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 SIP/2.0 200 OK To: ;tag=087js From: ;tag=786 Call-ID: 893rty@mn.example.com Content-Type: application/sdp v=0 c=IN IP4 msgn.example.com m=message 52000 msrp/tcp * a=accept-types:text/plain a=path:msrp://relayA.example.com:12000/kjhd37s2s2;tcp \ path:msrp://msgn.example.com:12000/kjhd37s2s2;tcp Since the CN and the local device each establish a TLS connection with their relay, as they would for any session, and the relays will establish a connection between them when a subsequent MSRP message is sent, neither party needs to establish any special connection. The existing protocol may therefore be used for session transfer. 5.2.2. Transfer to Multiple Devices In order to split the session across multiple devices, the MN establishes a new session with each local device through a separate INVITE request and updates the existing session with the CN with an SDP body that combines appropriate media parameters it receives in their responses. For instance, in order to transfer an audio and video call to two devices, it initiates separate sessions with each of them, combines the audio media line from one response and the video line from the other, and sends them together as the request to the CN, as follows: v=0 m=audio 48400 RTP/AVP 0 c= IN IP4 audio_dev.example.com a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 m=video 58400 RTP/AVP 34 c= IN IP4 video_dev.example.com a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 The CN responds with its own parameters for audio and video. The MN splits them and sends one to each local device in the ACK that completes each session setup. Shacham, et al.

Splitting a full-duplex media service such as video across an input and an output device is a simple extension of this approach. The signaling is identical to that of Figure 3, with the audio and video devices replaced by a video output and a video input device. The SDP, however, is slightly different. The MN invites the local devices into two different sessions, but does not include any SDP body. They each respond with all of their available media. If they only support unidectional media, as is the case for a camera or devoted display device, they will include the "sendonly" or "recvonly" attributes. Otherwise, the MN will have to append the appropriate attribute to each one's media line before sending the combined SDP body to the CN. That body will look as follows: m=video 50900 RTP/AVP 34 a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 14] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 a=sendonly c=IN IP4 camera.example.com m=video 50800 RTP/AVP 34 a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 a=recvonly c=IN IP4 display.example.com In updating an SDP session, according to Section 8 of [4], the i-th media line in the new SDP corresponds to the i-th media line in the previous SDP. In the above cases, if a media type is added during the transfer, the media line(s) should follow the existing ones. When an existing media is transferred to a different device, the media line should appear in the same place that it did in the previous SDP, as should the lines for all media that have not been altered. When a duplex media stream is being split across an input and output device, the stream corresponding to the input device should appear in place of the duplex media stream. Since this new stream is the one that will be received by the CN, including it in place of the old one ensures that the CN will only stop listening to the old port (in case it changes) once it starts receiving on the new one. The media line corresponding to the output device must appear after all existing media lines. In the last example, if the SDP had initially contained a video line followed by an audio line, the updated SDP sent to the CN would look as follows: m=video 50900 RTP/AVP 34 a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 a=sendonly c=IN IP4 camera.example.com m=audio 45000 RTP/AVP 0 a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000 m=video 50800 RTP/AVP 34 a=rtpmap:34 H263/90000 a=recvonly c=IN IP4 display.example.com During the course of the session, the CN may send a MESSAGE request to the MN containing text conversation from the remote user. If the mobile user wishes to have such messages displayed on a device other than the MN, the request is simply forwarded to that device. The forwarded message should be composed as though it were any other message from the MN to the local device, and include the body of the received message. The local device will send any MESSAGE request to the MN, who will forward it to the CN. Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 15] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 5.2.3. Retrieval of a Session The MN may later retrieve the session by sending an INVITE request to the CN with its own media parameters, causing the media streams to return. It then sends a BYE message to each local device to terminate the session. 5.3. Session Handoff (SH) mode 5.3.1. Transfer to a Single Device Session Handoff mode uses the SIP REFER method [3]. This message is a request sent by a "referer" to a "referee," which "refers" it to another URI, the "refer target," which may be a SIP URI to be contacted with an INVITE or other request, or a non-SIP URI, such as a web page. This URI is specified in the "Refer-To" header. The "Referred-By" [5] header is used to give the referer's identity which is sent to the refer target for authorization. Essential headers from this message may also be encrypted and sent in the message body as S/MIME to authenticate the REFER request. Figure 4 shows the flow for transferring a session. Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 16] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 AN MN CN |(1) REFER | | |<----------------------------| | |(2) 202 Accepted | | |---------------------------->| | |(3) INVITE, Replaces | | |-------------------------------------------------->| | RTP | |<..................................................| |(4) 200 OK | | |<--------------------------------------------------| | RTP | |..................................................>| |(5) ACK | | |-------------------------------------------------->| |(6) NOTIFY | | |---------------------------->| | |(7) 200 OK | | |<----------------------------| | | |(6) BYE | | |-------------------->| | |(7) 200 OK | | |<--------------------| | | | | | | Figure 4 : Session Handoff mode flow for transfer to a single device. The MN sends the following REFER request (1) to a local device: REFER sip:av@local_device.example.com SIP/2.0 To: From: Refer-To: Referred-By: [S/MIME authentication body] This message refers the local device to invite the refer target, the CN, into a session. The "audio" and "video" tokens following the URI are callee capabilities [10]. Here they are used to inform the referee that it should initiate an audio and video session with the CN. Also included is the "Replaces" header which is to be included in the INVITE request. The "Replaces" header identifies an existing session that should be replaced by the new session. Here, the local Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 17] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 device requests that the CN replace its current session with the MN with the new session. According to [6], the CN should only accept a request to replace a session by certain authorized groups of users. One such type of user is the current participant in the session. The MN may, therefore, refer the local device to replace its current session with the CN. However, it must provide authentication by encrypting several headers from the original REFER request in an S/MIME body that it sends in the REFER. The local device sends this body to the CN. This keeps a malicious user from indiscriminately replacing another user's session. Once the local device receives the REFER request, it sends an INVITE request to the CN, and a normal session setup ensues. The CN then tears down its session with the MN.

Once the local device has established a session with the CN, it sends a NOTIFY request to the MN, as specified in [3]. This NOTIFY contains the "To" (including tag), "From" (including tag) and "Call-ID" header fields from the established session to allow the MN to subsequently retrieve the session, as described in Section 5.3.2. Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 18] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 Once a session is transferred, the destination for MESSAGE requests moves automatically. Since a new session is established between the CN and the local device, any subsequent MESSAGE requests will be sent to that device. The transfer flow described above for media sessions may also be used to transfer an MSRP session. The local device will initiate an MSRP session in message (4), along with the other sessions. The REFER request (1) must indicate that an MSRP session should be established using callee capabilities in the "Refer-To" header field, as it does for audio and video. Such a media field tag, "message" has already been defined [12]. Once the local device receives the REFER request, it initiates an MSRP session with the CN. As the initiator, it will establish a TCP connection in order to carry the session, as specified in [7] or will set up the session through its relay if configured to do so. 5.3.2. Retrieval of a Session Figure 5 shows the flow for retrieval by the MN of a session currently on a local device. In order for a device to retrieve a session in Session Handoff mode, it must initiate a session with the CN that replaces the CN's existing session. The following message is sent by the MN to the CN (4): INVITE sip:cn@host1.example.com SIP/2.0 To: From: Replaces: 1@local_device.example.com;to-tag=aaa;from-tag=bbb Referred-By: [S/MIME authentication body] The MN needs to be referred by the local device and include its URI in the "Referred-By" header, in addition to including an S/MIME authentication body from the local device, in order to be permitted to replace the session. Therefore, the MN must receive a REFER request from the local device referring it to send this INVITE request. The user could use the user interface of the local device to send this REFER message. However, such an interface may not be available, and the user may also wish to execute the transfer while running out of the office with mobile device in hand. In order to prompt the REFER from the Mobile Node, a "nested REFER," [5] a REFER request for another REFER, is sent. In this case, the second REFER is sent back to the Mobile Node. That REFER must specify that the "Replaces" header be included in the target INVITE request. The REFER request from the local device to the MN (3) is composed as Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 19] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 follows: REFER sip:mn@example.com SIP/2.0 To: From: Refer-To: Referred-By: [S/MIME authentication body] A header field is included in the "Refer-To" URI to specify the value of the "Replaces" header in the target INVITE request. In order to have this message sent to it, the MN must send the following REFER request (1): REFER sip:av@local_device.example.com SIP/2.0 To: From: Refer-To: The "Refer-To" header specifies the MN as the refer target and that the referral be in the form of a REFER request. The header field specifies that the REFER request should contain a "Refer-To" header containing the URI of the CN. That URI, itself, should contain the "audio" and "video" callee capabilities that will tell the MN to initiate an audio and video call, and a header field specifying that the ultimate INVITE request should contain a "Replaces" header. If the MN had previously transferred the session to the local device, it would have received these in the NOTIFY sent by the local device following the establishment of the session. If, on the other hand, the MN is retrieving a session it had not previously held, as mentioned above in Section 5.1.1, it must get these parameters by subscribing to the Dialog Event Package [11] of the local device. Such a subscription would only be granted, for instance, to the owner of the original device that carried the session. Even when these parameters are provided in the "Replaces" header, the local device must not accept the REFER request from anybody except for the original participant in the session or the owner of the device. The MN receives the REFER request from the local device, sends the INVITE request to the CN, which accepts it and, once the session is Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 20] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 established, terminates its session with the local device. 5.3.3. Transfer to Multiple Devices Splitting a session in SH mode requires multiple media sessions to be established between the CN and local devices, without the MN controlling the signaling. This could be done by sending multiple REFER requests to the local devices, referring each to the CN. The disadvantage of this method is that there is currently no standard way to associate multiple sessions as part of a single call in SIP. Therefore, each session between the CN and a local device will be treated as a separate call. They may occupy different parts of the user interface, their media may not be available simultaneously, and they may have to be terminated separately. This certainly does not fulfill the requirement of seamlessness. This document describes the use of multi-device systems to overcome this problem. A local device's SLP UA queries for other devices and joins with them to create a "virtual device". It then chooses a single SIP URI to address it, such as sip:a_v@dev.example.com, and registers the service in SLP. We refer to the controlling device as the Multi-Device System Manager (MDSM). In a system that includes at least one mobility-enhanced device, it may act as the MDSM. In a system consisting entirely of basic devices, either a dedicated host or another local device from outside of the system must act as MDSM. Once the MN discovers a system of devices, it may hand off a session by sending a REFER request to the MDSM URI. When the MDSM receives the request sent to this URI, it uses third-party call control to set up media sessions between the CN and each device in the system (including itself). Specifically, it invites each local device into a separate session, and uses their media parameters to invite the CN into a session. Figure 6 shows the transfer of a session to a multi- device system. The Audio Node (AN) has previously discovered the Video Node (VN), and created a multi-device system. The REFER request sent to sip:a_v@an.example.com prompts the Audio Node to invite the Video Node into a session to ascertain its SDP, and then to invite the CN into a session using its own SDP and that of the Video Node.

On Incoming Call The examples presented above have involved an established session which a user transfers to one or more devices. Another scenario would be for an incoming call to be immediately distributed between multiple devices when the user accepts the call. In such a case, the initial session would not yet be established when the transfer takes place. The transfer could be carried out in either of the transfer modes. However, complete handoff to a separate device, which is done in Session Handoff mode, could be achieved through existing means, such as redirection. MNC mode would be useful in a case where the user wishes to automatically include an additional device in a call. For instance, a user with a desk IP phone and a PC with a video camera could join the two into a single logical device. The SIP UA on the Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 22] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 PC would, for any incoming call, send an INVITE request to the desk phone, setting the display name in the From header to "Bob Jones (audio portion)", for instance, so that the user can identify the caller on the phone. The user could then either accept or reject, as he would with a call coming directly to the phone. If he accepts, the PC UA, acting as the controller, would respond to the caller with its video parameters and the phone's audio parameters in the SDP body. The final ACK from the caller would then complete the session establishment. If the desk phone is registered as a contact for the user, it would also ring in response to the direct call being proxied there, in addition to the INVITE sent by the controller, causing confusion to the user. The use of caller preferences can solve this problem, as the caller would indicate that the call should preferentially be proxied to devices with audio and video capabilities. It is likely that the caller would use caller preferences in any case, if they were available to him, to avoid the callee unknowingly picking up the IP phone when he has a video-capable device available. However, since caller preferences are not yet widely supported on commercial devices, the callee would alone need to ensure the proper routing of the call. The desired behavior could be achieved by not registering the desk phone and having all calls, whether video or audio-only go through the PC. The PC would register two contacts, one representing itself and the phone as a single audio-video device, and another representing only the phone, but using the PC's host address. A third solution would be to register both devices, give a higher priority to the PC UA, and use CPL (the "proxy" node) [26] to specify that routing should be done to the set of user devices in sequence, rather than in parallel. Since all calls would first be proxied to the PC as long as it were online, it would need to redirect any request that included audio in its SDP. 6. Reconciling Device Capability Differences Session mobility sometimes involves the transfer of a session between devices with differing capabilities. For example, the codec being used in the current session may not be available on the new device. Furthermore, that device may not support any codec that is supported by the CN. In addition to codecs, devices may have different resolutions or bandwidth limitations which must be taken into account when carrying out session transfer. 6.1. Codec Differences Before executing a session transfer, the device must check the capabilities of the CN and the new device. These may be found Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 23] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 through either the SIP OPTIONS method, used in SIP to query a device's media capabilities, or may be included as SLP service attributes. Since the OPTIONS method is standard, it should be used to query the CN, while SLP should be used to get the media capabilities of local devices, since it is already being used for them. If the CN and the local device are found to have a common codec, the transfer should be carried out so that it becomes the codec used in the new media session. In MNC Mode, the flow is identical, but the SDP bodies include the desired codec. In Session Handoff Mode, the MN sends a REFER request to the local device and allows it to negotiate a common codec with the CN. If the CN and the local device are found to have a common codec, the transfer should be carried out so that it becomes the codec used in the new media session. In MNC Mode, the flow is identical, but the SDP bodies include the desired codec. In Session Handoff Mode, the MN sends a REFER request to the local device and allows it to negotiate a common codec with the CN. If a common codec does not exist, the MN must execute the transfer through an intermediate transcoding service, which need not be geographically local. Rather than establishing a direct media session between the CN and the local device, separate sessions are established between the transcoder and each of them, with the transcoder translating between the streams. The Mobile Node may discover available transcoders through any means, including SLP. Using transcoding services in SIP is defined in [18] using third- party call control. The standard case involves a controller, party A, that initiates a media session with party B through a transcoder. The controller invites the transcoder into a session and provides its own media parameters to indicate which media it would like transcoded. The transcoder responds with a "200 OK" that includes its own media parameters, namely the ports on which it will receive each stream. The controller then establishes a separate session with B, in which it gives it the address and port of the transcoder as the destination of its media. It also establishes its own media session with the transcoder. Once both sessions are established, two media streams have been established through the transcoder. Shacham, et al.

In MNC mode, the Mobile Node establishes one media session between the transcoder and the CN, and one between the transcoder and the local device. The initial INVITE sent by the MN to the transcoder includes a session description referring to itself. The transcoder responds with parameters for both streams that it will accept. The MN invites the local device and the CN into separate sessions using these provided parameters. They each provide their own parameters in the responses, which the MN combines to update the session with the transcoder. Once the three sessions have been established, two media Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 25] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 sessions exist, and the transcoder translates between them. This flow is shown in Figure 7. In Session Handoff mode, the local device itself must establish a session with the CN through the transcoder. After receiving the REFER request, it uses the OPTIONS method to find the capabilities of the CN. It will then use a common codec, if available, in the session setup, or set up the transcoded session using third-party call control as in [18]. 6.2. Display Resolution and Bandwidth Differences Other differences in device capabilities, such as display resolution and bandwidth limitations, should also be reconciled during tranfer. For example, a mobile device, limited both in its display size and bandwidth, will likely be receiving the video stream from the other call participant at a low resolution and framerate. When the user transfers his video output to a large-screen display, he may start viewing much higher quality video at the higher native resolution of the display and at a higher framerate. Changing the image resolution and framerate requires no special handling by the MN. An SDP format is defined [19] for specifying these and other parameters for the H.263+ codec. The suitable image formats and corresponding MPIs (Minimum Picture Interval, related to the framerate) supported for the given codec are listed following the media line, in order of preference. For example, the following lines in SDP would indicate that a device supports the H.263 codec (value 34) with the image sizes of 16CIF, 4CIF, CIF and QCIF (with the MPI for each format following the "="): m=video 60300 RTP/AVP 34 a=fmtp:34 16CIF=8;4CIF=6;CIF=4;QCIF=3 In MNC mode, the response by the local device (Figure 2, message 1) to the initial INVITE request sent by the MN would include this line in the SDP body, and the MN would then include it in the INVITE request sent to the CN (3). In Session Handoff mode, the local device would include this parameter in the INVITE request sent to the CN (Figure 4, 3) after receiving the REFER request. If the local device is not mobility-enhanced, and is, therefore, not configured to include the supported image sizes during session establishment, the information could be made available through SLP. The MN would then include it in the INVITE request sent to the CN in mobile node control mode. However, this information would not be sent in Session Handoff mode unless the local device were configured to send it. In both modes, the MN would send its own resolution and framerate preferences in the body of the INVITE request sent to retrieve the Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 26] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 session. 7. Simultaneous Session Transfer A session transfer may be carried out by one call participant after the other participant has transferred the session on his side. If the first transfer was done in MNC mode, a subset of the original session media is now on local devices. The MN receives either a re- INVITE from the other participant or an INVITE request from a local device on the other side. This message carries the new media parameters of the session. The MN, therefore, must send a re-INVITE to any local devices with these parameters. It then includes the parameters returned from these devices in the 200 OK response. If the first transfer was done in SH mode, the local device will directly receive the session transfer message from the other party and will follow the normal procedure for responding to an INVITE request. If it is controlling other local devices for this session as part of an MDS, it follows the procedure above where the first transfer was done in MNC mode. It may occur that both participants attempt a transfer at the same time. In MNC mode, each node initiates a session with a local device, then sends a re-INVITE to the other node. Section 14.2 in [1] mandates a 491 response when a re-INVITE is received for a dialog once another re-INVITE has already been sent. Once both parties receive this response, they each generate a random timer, with staggered intervals. Once its timer fires, each participant attempts the re-INVITE again. The first to receive it from the other participant responds to it with the SDP parameters of its local device. Both participants then send an ACK to their local device containing the new parameters obtained from the other one during the re-INVITE process. In SH mode, if both participants attempt a transfer at the same time, after one node sends a REFER request to the local device, it receives the INVITE request from the local device on the other end. The appropriate protocol definition could mandate that a 491 response be sent in this case, as well. This response would be returned to the referrer in a NOTIFY indicating the status of the referred session establishment. The staggered timer solution described above could work. The MN would cancel the REFER request sent to the local device, then wait a random amount of time before sending it again. 8. Session Termination Once a session has been transferred, the user may terminate it by Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 27] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 hanging up the current device, as he would do in a call originating on that device. This should be true even when the session is using several local devices. In MNC mode, when the user hangs up the current device, a BYE is sent to the Controller. The Controller must then send a BYE request to each device used in the transfer and a BYE request to the CN. A MDSM used for SH mode must follow the same procedure. In SH mode, the current device has previously initiated an ordinary session with the CN in response the the REFER request, and the BYE it sends to the CN on hang-up requires no special handling. 9. Security Considerations Many security concerns must be addressed in session mobility. As this work is based heavily on the work in [2], [3] and [5], the security considerations described in those documents apply. We discuss here the particular issues of authorizing use of local devices and providing media-level security following transfer. 9.1. Authorization for Using Local Devices Use of a local device must be limited to authorized parties. We assume in this document that these devices are private, accessible for transfer only to their owners. They must accept these types of INVITE and REFER requests only from identities representing the owner. However, they may also be used to accept ordinary calls. Therefore, there must be a distinction between requests to communicate with the owner himself, which should be accepted from anybody (except for those excluded through a white/black list policy) and requests to use the device for transfer, which is only accepted from the owner. The latter type of request should be addressed to a different URI, such as phone@example.com. Digest or S/MIME may be used to authenticate the owner's identity. Deployment of public devices that are available to a group of users for their transfers is beyond the scope of this document. 9.2. Maintaining Media Security in Session Mobility Confidentiality, message authentication and replay protection are necessary in internet protocols, including those used for real-time multimedia communications. The Secure Real-time Transfer Protocol (SRTP) [13] provides these for RTP streams. Since SRTP may be used to carry the media sessions of SIP devices, such as the MN and CN, we discuss how to ensure that the session continues to use SRTP following the transfer to another device. This is also discussed in less detail in [2]. Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 28] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 The establishment of secure RTP communications through SDP is defined by two documents. The "crypto" attribute [14], is a media-level attribute whose value includes the desired cryptographic suite and key parameters used to perform symmetric encryption on the RTP packets. Since the key information is sent in the SDP body with no dedicated encryption or integrity protection, a separate protocol such as S/MIME must be used to protect the signaling messages. Another document [15] specifies the "key-mgmt" attribute used to provide parameters for a key management protocol, such as MIKEY. Using this attribute, the two participants exchange keys encrypted by a public or shared key, or negotiate a key using the Diffie-Hellman method. The use of cryptographic parameters in SDP does not change the message flows described earlier in this document. For instance, in MNC mode shown in Figure 2, the response from the local device (2) will include, in addition to any supported media type, cryptographic information for each type. This cryptographic information will be a list of attribute lines describing crypto suite and key parameters using either of the two attributes mentioned. These lines will be sent by the MN to the CN in the subsequent request (3). The CN will choose a cryptographic method and return its own key information in the response (4). Maintaining a secure media session in SH mode requires the local device to negotiate a cryptographic relationship in the session that it establishes following its receipt of the REFER request. It is noted in [2] that establishing media security in Third Party Call Control depends on the cooperation of the controller. The following is an excerpt from that document: End-to-end media security is based on the exchange of keying material within SDP. The proper operation of these mechanisms with third party call control depends on the controller behaving properly. So long as it is not attempting to explicitly disable these mechanisms, the protocols will properly operate between the participants, resulting in a secure media session that even the controller cannot eavesdrop or modify. Since third party call control is based on a model of trust between the users and the controller, it is reasonable to assume it is operating in a well- behaved manner. However, there is no cryptographic means that can prevent the controller from interfering with the initial exchanges of keying materials. As a result, it is trivially possibly for the controller to insert itself as an intermediary on the media exchange, if it should so desire. We note here that given the model presented in this document, where the controller is operated by the same person that uses the local Shacham, et al. Expires May 17, 2007 [Page 29] Internet-Draft SIP Session Mobility November 2006 device, there is even more reason to believe that the controller will be well-behaved and will not interfere with the transfer of key exchanges. 10.
