Which node control the ringing timer in a VoLTE call?

Question

I would like to know about which node control the ringing timer in a VoLTE call? And what are the parameters which are used to control this?

Answer 1

The Media Resource Function (MRF) provides media related functions such as media manipulation (e.g. voice stream mixing) and playing of tones and announcements.

Each MRF is further divided into a media resource function controller (MRFC) and a media resource function processor (MRFP).

The MRFC is a signalling plane node that interprets information coming from an AS and S-CSCF to control the MRFP
The MRFP is a media plane node used to mix, source or process media streams. It can also manage access right to shared resources.
The Media Resource Broker (MRB) is a functional entity that is responsible for both collection of appropriate published MRF information and supplying of appropriate MRF information to consuming entities such as the AS. MRB can be used in two modes:

Query mode: AS queries the MRB for media and sets up the call using the response of MRB
In-Line Mode: AS sends a SIP INVITE to the MRB. The MRB sets up the call
