Home-routed roaming architectures –EPS and 5GS
•Packet core network is split
between VPLMN and
HPLMN.
•In EPS, PGW is in
HPLMN and SGW is in
VPLMN.
•In 5GS, SMF/UPF are
present in both VPLMN
and HPLMN.
•IMS network functions are in
HPLMN.
•Voice-related signaling and
media are seen as user
plane in the VPLMN except
perhaps the creation of PDN
connection establishment.

S8HR –EPS bearer may have multiple IMS sessions
•Separate GTP tunnels are used for
IMS signaling and media bearers.
•However, a given bearer may have
multiple IMS sessions or IMS session
legs.

N9HR –PDU session support QoS flows of IMS signaling and media
•GTP tunnel for each PDU session
•Each PDU session can have multiple
QoF flows:
•IMS signaling
•IMS media.
5QI determines the type.
•Each QoS flow may have multiple
IMS sessions or IMS session legs.
