A.2.1 Invite other user to 3PTY CONF by sending REFER request

Figure A.2 depictures a flow where two UEs, UE-1 and UE-2, are engaged in a call. At some point in time, UE-1 decides to involve UE-3 into the communication and activate the 3PTY CONF service. UE-1 puts UE-2 on hold, initiates a session toward UE-3 to get the user’s permission to start 3PTY call, creates the conference, and moves the original communication with both UE-2 and UE-3 to the conference server.

A.2.2 Invite other user to 3PTY CONF by sending INVITE request with URI list

Figure A.3 depictures a flow where UA-A is involved in 2 communications with UA-B and UA-C, both 2 communications are on-hold. The AS is involved in both 2 communications as a B2BUA.

When user A intends to start the 3PTY conference, UA-A sends INVITE to the AS to create the conference and indicates that certain dialogs shall be re-used for this conference, The AS sends re-INVITEs in the indicated dialogs and connects the media to the conference bridge. The dialogs can be indicated by adding the Call-ID header field, the From header field and the To header field to the entries in the URI list of the initial INVITE

1: UA-A creates a conference and invites user B and user C to the conference by sending an INVITE to the Conference Factory URI and including URI list in the INVITE request, UA-A indicates the certain dialogs which be re-used for this conference in the uri list by ? mechanism.

2: AS verifies if the dialogs in URI list matches to a partial dialog which AS already involved, In the case of a match the AS use this dialog ID information to send re-INVITE request to UA-B and UA-C in the partial dialogs between the AS and the invited users in order to connect the media of the invited users to the MRFP.
