Roaming
Roaming is an important functionality, where
operators share their networks with each others
subscribers.

Typically roaming happens between operators
serving different areas, such as different countries,
since this does not cause conflicts in the competition
between the operators.

The words Home and Visited are used as prefixes to
many other architectural terms to describe where
the subscriber originates from and where it roams to
respectively

Inter Working- 3GPP/Non 3GPP

Inter-working with non-3GPP ANs was one of the key
design goals for SAE

The non-3GPP Inter-working System Architecture
includes a set of solutions in two categories:

Generic and Loose inter-working solutions

Specific and Tighter inter-working solution like one
selected access network(AN),the cdma2000
HRPD(High Rate Packet Data)




Inter-working with CDMA
Inter-working with Other Access
