1.1 S1 User Plane
Figure 1.1 S1 user plane
User plane PDUs
Overview
The S1 interface connects the eNodeB and the mobility management entity (MME) or serving gateway (S-GW) and has two planes: user plane and control plane.
The S1 interface transmits data between the eNodeB and the S-GW. The S1 user plane transmits data at the transport network layer based on the Internet Protocol (IP).
Issue 01 (2011-09-30)
eRAN2.2 S1AP
The S1 control plane transmits data based on the IP and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) to provide reliable data transmission for radio networks. The S1 Application Protocol (S1AP) transmits signaling between the evolved packet core (EPC) and the evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) to provide S1AP services. The S1AP has the following functions:
E-UTRAN radio access bearer (E-RAB) management. This function is used to establish, modify, and release an E-RAB. Initial context transfer. This function is used to establish S1 user equipment (UE) contexts on an eNodeB, to establish one or more E-RABs if requested by an MME, and to transfer information about non-access stratum (NAS) signaling to the eNodeB. UE capability information indication. UE mobility management in LTE_ACTIVE mode, including intra-LTE handovers and inter-RAT handovers. Paging. This function enables the EPC to page UEs. S1 interface management. For example, error indication and S1 setup. NAS signaling transfer between the UE and the MME. S1 UE context release. UE context modification. Status transfer. Tracing Location reporting. LPPa signaling transfer.
S1AP has two classes of basic procedures, as shown in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2.

2.1 E-RAB Setup
eNB
E-RAB Management
The purpose of this procedure is to allocate resources to the Uu and the S1 interfaces for one or more E-RABs and to set up data radio bearers (DRBs) for a specific UE. Figure 1.1 E-RAB Setup procedure (successful operation)
MME
The MME sends an E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message to initiate the procedure. After receiving the message, the eNodeB sends the MME an E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message if the required resources are available. If the E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message contains the UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate information element (IE), the eNodeB replaces the UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE with the UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE. If the E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message does not contain the UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE, the eNodeB uses the UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE in the UE context. Resources are set up or modified on an eNodeB based on the Allocation and Retention Priority IE.

eNB
MME
The MME sends an E-RAB SETUP REQUEST message to initiate the procedure. An E-RAB MODIFY REQUEST message contains information about one or more configured E-RABs.

Context Management
MME
The EPC must get ready for receiving user-plane data on an E-RAB before the MME receives a CONTEXT SETUP RESPONSE message from an eNodeB. The eNodeB must perform the following operations after receiving an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST message: 1. 2. 3. 4. Attempts to execute the requested E-RAB configuration. Saves the UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE in the UE context and uses the received UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate IE. Saves the handover restriction list in the UE context. Saves the UE capability in the UE context.
If the eNodeB cannot set up the UE context, it sends an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP FAILURE message to the MME.

MME
A UE CONTEXT RELEASE REQUEST message contains the reasons why UEs are not in the active state and why UEs exit the wireless network.
MME
The MME sends the eNodeB a UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message to initiate the procedure. The UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message contains the UE S1AP ID pair IE. If the message does not contain the IE, it must contain the MME UE S1AP ID IE.

eRAN2.2 S1AP
After receiving the UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMMAND message, the eNodeB releases all related resources for the IEs and user-plane data transmission and responds to the MME with a UE CONTEXT RELEASE COMPLETE message.

source eNB
Handover Signaling
The source eNodeB sends the MME a HANDOVER REQUIRED message to initiate the procedure. When the source eNodeB sends the message, it starts the TS1 RELOCprep timer. After the handover preparation, including resource subscription on the target eNodeB, the MME responds to the source eNodeB a HANDOVER COMMAND message. After receiving the HANDOVER COMMAND message, the source eNodeB stops the TS1 RELOCprep timer and starts the TS1RELOCOverall timer. If the EPC or the target eNodeB cannot accept any bearers or the handover fails, the MME sends the source eNodeB a HANDOVER PREPARATION FAILURE message that contains the reason why the failure occurs.

The MME sends the target eNodeB a HANDOVER REQUEST message to initiate the procedure. After receiving the HANDOVER REQUEST message, the target eNodeB saves the UE Security Capabilities IE and uses the configuration of the IE and related UE access stratum (AS) to encrypt data.

REQUEST FAILURE message that contains the reason why the failure occurs.
MME
The source eNodeB sends the MME a HANDOVER CANCEL message to initiate the procedure. A HANDOVER CANCEL message contains the Cause IE. After receiving the HANDOVER CANCEL message, the EPC stops the ongoing process, releases resources for a handover, and sends the source eNodeB a HANDOVER CANCEL ACKNOWLEDGE message.

INITIAL UE MESSAGE
After receiving the first UL NAS message transmitted on a radio resource control (RRC) connection to be forwarded to an MME, the eNodeB must activate the NAS transport procedure and send the MME an INITIAL UE MESSAGE message.
