Customer challenge and opportunity
9471 MME LM2.0
Mobile operator drivers LTE not a question of if, but when

Data traffic exponential growth from increasing demand for data services music downloading, web browsing, video streaming, which demand higher data rates, capacity and better network performance. Disconnect between traffic and revenues putting pressure on operators margin. Increasing focus on lower cost per bit. Scissor effect drives the need for network transformation solutions that cope with the data traffic/revenue challenge. Social and technology trends are leading to a mobile traffic explosion that will continue in the next year. Video and content-rich services are key for growth. New value chain emerges with ACPs to monetize the network assets. Depending on their business plans, operators will deploy different strategies to interwork existing 2G/3G networks with LTE to provide seamless mobility and service continuity at reduced costs.

Relative MME capacity weighted factor (0-55) is set by MME within one MME pool and passed down to eNB eNB selects one of MME based on received MME weighted factor If weighted factor is same among MME(s), eNB selects MME in round robin manner eNB does not select MME from the other MME pool even though it might have IP connection to neighbor MME pool in edge eNBs
Edge eNB
MME paging
The MME provides the service provider with the flexibility to provision a paging strategy that controls aspects of paging such as:
Maximum number of paging attempts (up to 4 attempts) Paging method used for each page attempt T3413 timer interval (interval to wait for page response) used for each page attempt
The following paging methods will initially be supported by the MME:

Page only at the last seen eNodeB Page in all eNodeBs for last seen Tracking Area Page in all eNodeBs for last seen Tracking Area plus all eNodeBs for the neighboring TAs of the last seen Tracking Area
Functionality to measure effectiveness of paging

Per Call/Connection Measurement Data PCMD collection

PCMD is a real-time diagnostics and troubleshooting tool that provides records for call/connection information, for example, call duration, quality and call disposition, and other important call events occurred during the call, such as call setup, call failure, handover and call termination
Each PCMD record is created on per call/connection basis

Packet data interworking options
UE-based drop & reselect
- Simplest option - IP address is re-established and hence session continuity is broken
R8 LTE interworking with pre-R8 GPRS/WCDMA core
Based on TS 23.401 Annex D Uses pre-R8 interfaces (Gn/Gp) as basis for interworking P-GW is the mobility anchor for I-RAT HO gap < 1 sec
All-R8 approach to Interworking
- Based on TS 23.401 main text - Uses R8 interfaces (S3/S4) on legacy SGSNs as basis for interworking - S-GW is the mobility anchor for I-RAT - HO gap < 500 ms

S-GW as the anchor for intra-3GPP mobility

Intra-3GPP HOs are modeled on S1-based HO Idle-mode Signaling Reduction (ISR) benefit possible (paging can be initiated from S-GW)
The proposed approach

Introduce LTE based on Gn/Gp I-RAT interworking
Keeps 2G/3G network stable during the LTE introduction period
Data cards are not particularly mobile so impact of incremental idle-mode signaling is not huge
Deploy Full R8 when ready

Assumptions on mobility and subscriber use pattern shall be tracked by careful monitoring and trend analysis of idle-mode signaling load expected to be initially low for data cards
39
9471 MME LM2.0
Idle-Mode Signaling Reduction (ISR)

Problem: Registration ping-ponging can generate excess signaling traffic in the network (see below) Solution: ISR allows UEs to dual-register but now paging in both networks is required (only possible in R8)

Industry analysts comment on Alcatel-Lucent 9471 MME

The fact that youre splitting out the control and bearer planes makes their platform choices logical. It mirrors the split in the architecture. We believe Alcatel-Lucent has a viable product strategy and will gain market share in the packet core as operators migrate to LTE and converged 2G/3G/LTE cores.
Gabriel Brown Senior Analyst with Heavy Reading Heavy Reading| Vol. 7, No.11, November 2009|Evolved Packet Core for LTE
Alcatel-Lucent has a head start over Ericsson AB and Nokia Siemens Networks in its understanding, expertise and deployment references for IP networks. If Alcatel-Lucent can be fully competitive on the radio side of the LTE networks equation, then with its IP pedigree the company has a very real chance to go toe-to-toe with the big wireless vendors in LTE.
