S1 Signalling Transport
in IPv4, IPv6, Specification, IP, LTE, S1

Air Interface Physical Layer

GPRS Tunnelling Protocol User Plane (GTP-U)

S1 signalling bearer provides the following functions:

GTP-U Transport
Provision of reliable transfer of S1-AP message over S1-MME interface.
Provision of networking and routeing function
Provision of redundancy in the signalling network
Support for flow control and congestion control

Medium Access Control (MAC)

Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) Protocol
Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)

L2 - Data link layer

Support of any suitable data link layer protocol, e.g. PPP, Ethernet
IP layer
The eNB and MME support IPv6 and/or IPv4
The IP layer of S1-MME only supports point-to-point transmission for delivering S1-AP message.
The eNB and MME support the Diffserv Code Point marking
Transport layer

Radio Link Control (RLC)

Radio Resource Control (RRC)
S1 Application Protocol (S1AP)
S1 layer 1
S1 Signalling Transport
X2 Application Protocol (X2AP)
X2 layer 1

SCTP is supported as the transport layer of S1-MME signalling bearer.

X2 Signalling Transport
SCTP refers to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol developed by the Sigtran working group of
the IETF for the purpose of transporting various signalling protocols over IP network.
There is only one SCTP association established between one MME and eNB pair.
The eNB establishes the SCTP association. The SCTP Destination Port number value assigned by
IANA to be used for S1AP is 36412.
