LS30010-02 Name: IPSEC over IPv6 Validation for LTE (Tracking Feature) C
Description: 3GPP has defined NDS/IP for LTE to cover the protection
of IP-based LTE traffic for OAM and Telecom between the eNB and the
LTE Security Gateway (SEG). This feature will test E2E IPsec between
the eNB and the SEG for the following SEG devices and configurations:
1) SEG is a Fortinet IPSEC VPN Concentrator and will test IPsec for
IPv4 and IPv6 for IKEv2 and Pre-shared key for IKEv2 authentication.
Fortinet SEG model depends on IPsec throughput to test the SEG and the
number of eNBs connected to the SEG via IPsec.
2) SEG is a 7750 SR: will test E2E IPsec with IKEv2 and IPv4 format
only for Pre-shared key IKEv2 authentication method.
Feature Restriction: 7750 SR does not support IPv6 format.
LS30024-05 Name: End to End Software upgrade scenarios and procedures for LTE C
solution from LE4.0 to LE5.0
Description: Upgrade procedure development and test for migration from
LE4.0 to LE5.0

Transport
Description: This feature provides:
1) A new method for IKEv2 authentication between the eNB and the
Security Gateway (SEG) via X.509v3 digital certificates
2) A method to manage the X.509 certificates and comply with 3GPP
standards.
LS115396-01 Name: VoIMS Handover from LTE to UMTS Circuit Voice using C
eSRVCC
Description: Support for 3GPP Rel 10 Compliant Single Radio Voice
Call Continuity Solution Procedures (eSRVCC).

System requirements Backwards Compatibility
Backwards Compatibility
For those customers with a pre-existing LE4.0 LTE Solution, note that the LE5.0 LTE
Solution software is backwards compatible with the existing LE4.0 LTE Solution
software running in your network.
For pre LE5.0 eNB features parity results, refer to the LA5.0 LTE RAN eNodeB FDD
Release Notes available in the LTE LE5.0 Release Notes site.
Notes:
This compatibility is limited according to the upgrade path presented in the Performing
upgrades section.
Current Compatibility
There is currently no cross-network element compatibility issue within LE5.0.
Note 1:
3GPP standards do not include Xi Stage3 ASN.1 standards FOR X1_1, X2, and X3.
Therefore, ALU Xi ASN.1 message format is designed to be “similar“(note there are
slight differences) to existing Handover Interface (HI) interfaces (i.e. LEA HI
LIG-ALU-1357) defined in 3GPP TS 33.108 (v9.6.0, 2011-03).
