VoLTE Architecture & Security Context

Voice over LTE (VoLTE) represents a fundamental shift in mobile voice communications, leveraging the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to deliver voice services over LTE data networks.

Key Components

  • IMS Core: P-CSCF, S-CSCF, I-CSCF for session control
  • Media Gateway: RTP/SRTP media handling
  • HSS: Home Subscriber Server for authentication
  • PCRF: Policy and Charging Rules Function
