Description

Originating Identification Presentation (OIP) is a classic telephony supplementary service standardized in 3GPP that enables the presentation of the calling party's identification information to the called party. The service delivers the Calling Line Identity (CLI), which typically includes the calling party's directory number (MSISDN), and potentially additional name information, to the terminating network and user equipment. The service operates within the call control signaling, primarily in the ISDN User Part (ISUP) for circuit-switched calls and within Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages for IMS-based VoIP calls. For a call, the originating network validates the caller's subscription for OIP and, if allowed, includes the CLI in the initial address message (IAM) or SIP INVITE. The terminating network then checks the called party's subscription for the complementary service, Originating Identification Restriction (OIR), to determine if presentation is barred. If not barred, the information is delivered to the called party's terminal for display. The architecture involves the Home Location Register (HLR) or Home Subscriber Server (HSS) storing subscriber service data, Mobile Switching Centers (MSC) or Call Session Control Functions (CSCF) executing service logic, and the User Equipment rendering the information. The service is integral to user experience, fraud prevention, and call screening.

Purpose & Motivation

OIP was created to fulfill the basic telephony need for the called party to know who is calling before answering. This addresses privacy, security, and convenience concerns, allowing users to screen calls. Historically, this was a defining feature of digital telephony (ISDN) over analog systems. Its standardization in 3GPP ensures interoperability across global mobile networks, providing a consistent caller ID experience. It solves the problem of anonymous or unwanted calls by defaultingly presenting caller identity, while its counterpart (OIR) provides a privacy mechanism for callers. The evolution through 3GPP releases maintained this service through the transition from circuit-switched voice to IMS-based VoIP, ensuring service continuity and feature parity across network generations.

Detected Changes Across Releases

from 3GPP Change Requests

Specific changes extracted from the „Change history“ tables of 3GPP specifications (26 CRs across 5 releases). Complements the general historical overview above with the evidence-based evolution of this function.

Studied in Rel-7, normative work from Rel-15.

Rel-15 20 changes

In Release 15, the specifications for the Originating Identification Presentation (OIP) function were updated to clarify its behavior in conjunction with enhanced Calling Name (eCNAM) and across various call forwarding and deflection scenarios. The release explicitly defined that for users subscribed to both OIP and eCNAM, the originating party's identity and eCNAM data must be delivered together, with the terminating provider extracting the telephone number from the OIP information to retrieve the eCNAM data. Furthermore, it was specified that the original originating party's identity must be presented to a forwarded or deflected-to party provided with the OIP service, unless the originating party has invoked Originating Identification Restriction (OIR).

In Release 16, the OIP function was enhanced to ensure the original calling party's identity is correctly presented across various forwarding and deflection scenarios, such as CFU, CFB, and CD, when the originating party has not invoked restriction. Furthermore, specifications were updated to define the mapping of the History-Info header field to the ISUP Original Called Number parameter for improved interworking with legacy networks.

In Release 17, the key new feature for the Originating Identification Presentation (OIP) function was the introduction of configuration support for Standalone Non-Public Networks (SNPN). This enhancement ensures that the OIP service, which provides the terminating party with the identity of the originating party, can be properly configured and operated within SNPN deployments. The update addresses the specific requirements for presenting the originating party's identity in these isolated network environments.

In Release 18, a new procedure was introduced for the Originating IMS Application Server upon receiving a BDC establishment request, specifically enhancing the OIP (Originating Identification Presentation) function. This addition provides a defined mechanism for handling the initial request that triggers caller identity delivery. The update ensures the OIP service can operate in conjunction with underlying network analytics and forwarding services as described in the existing framework.

Rel-19 1 change

In Release 19, the enhancement for the Originating Identification Presentation (OIP) function introduced a new procedure for application data channel interworking via a DC AS for the originating UE. This addition specifically defines how the originating user equipment can interact through a Data Channel Application Server to support the OIP service.
