Local IP Access (LIPA)

THE Mobile Broadband Standard

om

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 LIPA service does not need to be transparent, but the end user may have to select LIPA access

IP traffic to mobile operators CN Local IP traffic

Mobile operators operator core network

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 (i.e. using H(e)NB radio access) 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. A UE must have a valid subscription with the mobile operator in order to use Local IP Access. A UE must be able to use Local IP Access in a visited network subject to roaming agreement between mobile operators. Pre-Rel 10 UEs should be able to use Local IP Access.

Selective IP Traffic Offloading (SIPTO)

re

om

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

WLAN Offloading
THE Mobile Broadband Standard

om

WLAN offloading refers to the dual radio scenario where part of the traffic is routed via WLAN access and part via 3GPP access The 3GPP Evolved Packet Core network (EPC) as the common core network serves both 3GPP radio access technologies and non-3GPP radio access technologies 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., nonseamless 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

CS Fallback (CSFB)
THE Mobile Broadband Standard

om

Application of CSFB:
CS capable device camping on LTE cell can establish/receive CS services Reuse of existing CS infrastructure for voice service until IMS VoIP is deployed Provide voice roaming support with LTE Can support emergency calls using existing CS infrastructure

CSFB reuses voice services provided by legacy CS infrastructure EPS redirects the UE to CS Domain for CS services
SMS can be delivered to the UE without redirecting to CS Domain After CS service the UE returns to LTE, depending on coverage and policy

User can decide, based on CLI, whether to accept CSFB request

SRVCC use case:

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

SRVCC improvements:
Mid-call services (like HOLD & MPTY) emergency calls video calls

LTE can co-exist alongside other technologies in multiple configurations LTE overlapping with 2G/3G, data only
Evolutionary approach to upgrade of networks and migration from 2G/3G networks

LTE with speech and multimedia support

Saturation of fixed internet subscriptions and growth of mobile subscriptions requires faster mobile connections Decline of fixed subscribers and growth of mobile internet subscribers 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 Regulatory emergency call and public warning system PWS support Comprehensive set of supplementary services over IMS

Re-farming of 2G/3G legacy frequencies for LTE use

Femto-cells implemented in 3GPP via Home Cells (NodeB and eNodeB)

3GPP 2011 3GPP Seminar, Moscow, 24 May 2011

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