RCS over LTE
RCS
– Offers a set of enriched multimedia services
– Is access network independent
– Interfaces are standardized
– Uses several protocols
– Supports service-based roaming and interconnect
LTE
– Supports any Internet service or application
– Interworks with 2G/3G and non-3GPP networks
– Interfaces are standardized
– Uses several protocols
– Supports access-based roaming and interconnect

Benefits of RCS over LTE
Factor Benefit
• Higher peak data rates • Higher QoE
• Lower latency
• Higher spectral efficiency
• Service-independent access • Seamless integration of RCS, or any
network other Internet services
• Easy addition to the RCS suite in
future
• Differentiated service offering • Higher QoE
• Subscriber-based • More battery life
• Service-based • Optimized network resource usage
• Address OTT competition
• Centralized Policy & Charging • Ease of service provisioning
Control (PCC) framework • Differentiated service offering
