EPS & Core Network key-points

Flat Packet Switch (PS) only architecture, two network nodes for control plane Security mechanisms to facilitate various traffic cases GTP and PMIP roaming interfaces (S5/S8) Optimised interworking with legacy cellular systems Various ways to combine or split traffic off at various points Advanced policy-functions in network as well as in terminals Interworking with non-3GPP access technologies Facilitate mobile as well as fixed networks
3GPP 2012
Network optimised for IP traffic

Dual-stack IPv4/6 connectivity Terminals as well as network can influence the QoS Operators can influence the selection of access by ANDSF Various ways to combine or split traffic off at various points
Local IP Access (LIPA) Selective IP Traffic Offloading (SIPTO) WLAN offloading
Strong focus on voice over PS (MMTEL) CS traffic is still supported, but soon only as the backup ... ??
3GPP 2012
Local IP Access (LIPA)

All traffic on 3GPP radio
LIPA is primarily for end users benefit, to allow access to local residential or corporate network through a 3GPP device
Mobile operators core network
IP traffic to mobile operators CN
Local IP traffic UE
Residential/ enterprise IP Network
logical connection for mobile operator IP traffic scope of Local IP access
LIPA provides access for IP capable UEs that are connected via a H(e)NB subsystem to other IP capable entities in the same residential/ enterprise IP network. Simultaneous access from a UE to the mobile operators core network and Local IP Access to a residential/enterprise IP network will be supported.
3GPP 2012
Selective IP Traffic Offloading (SIPTO)

Optimising cost per bit is becoming essential in the flat rate era SIPTO is a specific routing scenario within the operators network, allowing selective offloading of the traffic away from the Evolved Packet Core network SIPTO benefits the cellular operator and it is transparent for the end user SIPTO is intended for allowing cost optimized handling of the internet traffic that is not intended for the operators core network Local GW is selected for the traffic to be offloaded
All traffic on 3GPP radio
3GPP 2012
WLAN Offloading
WLAN offloading refers to the dual radio scenario where part of the traffic is routed via WLAN access and part via 3GPP access WLAN offloading covers both the scenario where the traffic via WLAN radio is anchored in the EPC (i.e., seamless offloading) and the scenario where it is not anchored (i.e., non-seamless offloading) Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) is there to provide the UE with the access network discovery information and the policy on how to use the available access networks
Available access networks Preferred routing of the traffic per APN, per IP flow

Application of CSFB:

SRVCC use case:

IMS call initiated in LTE can continue in CS domain after moving outside of LTE coverage area SRVCC is invoked if no other VoIP capable PS system (HSPA/eHRPD) is available for VoIP PS-PS HO Requires overlapping with GSM/WCDMA/1xRTT coverage

Deployment scenario aspects

LTE can co-exist alongside other technologies in multiple configurations

Evolutionary approach to upgrade of networks and migration from 2G/3G networks
LTE overlapping with 2G/3G, data only

Saturation of fixed internet subscriptions and growth of mobile subscriptions requires faster mobile connections Decline of fixed subscribers and growth of mobile internet subscribers
LTE with speech and multimedia support

Voice and Multimedia solution for LTE is IMS Rel-9 supports full speech call service in IMS GSMA has published a global solution for VoLTE Comprehensive set of supplementary services over IMS
Re-farming of 2G/3G legacy frequencies for LTE use

Requires voice call continuity between 2G/3G and LTE in both directions
