3GPP
3rd Generation Partnership Project is
a collaboration between groups of
telecommunications associations

Technology, specification, documentation
Whi is an SAE necessary?
Integration of E-UTRAN with its new Concepts
IP-centric setup
Low Latency Requirements
Packet-switched only
QoS and Services Differentiation
Integration of Non-3GPP RAT's is sub-optimum because
Mobility between 3GPP-RAT and Non-3GPP-RAT does
almost not exist
Non-3GPP-RAT's are conceptually treated as "alien"
technologies to be amended to existing 3GPP-RAT's
legacy operators of Non-3GPP-RAT's cannot adopt the
existing 3GPP-CN-Architecture
Important Requirements on SAE
according to 3GPP
Coexistence
With legacy architectures
Equal Support of IPv4 and IPv6
Service Continuation
Upon Change of RAT
Upon Change between circuit-switched and packet-
switched radio access
Better Performance
Lower latency
Process higher data rates
Better security
QoS and service differentiation

Important Requirements on SAE
according to 3GPP
Support of any Radio Access Technology (RAT)
Existing and future
3GPP and non-3GPP
Trusted and non-trusted
Circuit-switched fallback
Management of Access Networks
ANDSF
Access network sharing
Load sharing among access networks
Auto configuration
Seamless Mobility Options and their
Characteristics
Architecture Overview
EPC vs. EPS
The two terms EPC and EPS can be
distinguished as illustrated:
The EPC represents the core component of the
EPS.
The EPS contains the EPC and the E-UTRAN (LTE)
access network. However, it does not contain the
other access networks.
Non-3GPP Access Networks (trusted / non-trusted)
Non-3GPP Access Network wifi, WiMAX,
cdma2000
Trusted Non-3GPP support security
requirements of EPC-operator
Non-trusted Non-3GPP doesnt support
security requirements of EPC-operator

HSS
Home Subscriber Server
User identification and addressing this corresponds to the IMSI
(International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and MSISDN (Mobile
Subscriber ISDN Number) or mobile telephone number
User profile information this includes service subscription states and
user-subscribed Quality of Service information (such as maximum
allowed bit rate or allowed traffic class).
Mutual network-terminal authentication.
Radio path ciphering and integrity protection, to ensure data and
signalling transmitted between the network and the terminal is
neither eavesdropped nor altered.
