VoWiFi means that radio waves is used in wireless networks to exchange voice instead wired network. It enables VoLTE subscribers to access EPC network using WiFi register with IMS network. So that, they can use IMS services as voice calls, SMS, and other supplementary services and Subscribers can use WiFi to access EPC network when LTE is unavailable. VoWiFi is needed for Coverage Enhancement, If there is an area which has poor coverage but WiFi is available, Competence Enhance, Operators are willing to provide new services, Customer Retention, Operators provide free or unlimited services to attract more user, Saving Roaming Cost , Operators has WiFi roaming agreement in a suitable market, Less cost for operators, No need to build BTSs, In VoWiFi the caller and callee do not need to have the same application to talk to each other in contrast to OTT. The callee does not need to have internet connection to accept the call, and VoWiFi is seamless, handover is very simple and smooth VoWiFi has only three available choices, Untrusted access network and Trusted access network, IMS direct access, VoWiFi subscribers access a WiFi network, use the ePDG to attach to an EPC network, and then register with an IMS network, ePDG and AAA server is the new network elements for VoWiFi solution, all traffic is secured by AAA server and IP sec protocol, it depends mainly on VoLTE solution.
