UGW9811 System overview

 The LTE/SAE network is designed for high rate packet data (HRPD) services. The SAE
network architecture is simple.
 Compared with the original network architecture, the SAE network architecture has the
following advantages:
 The LTE base stations (eNodeBs) are directly connected to the evolved
packet system (EPS) core network. The previously independent base station
controller (BSC) functions are integrated into the eNodeB.
 The packet-switched(PS) domain is reconstructed as follows:
 The control plane of the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) is separated
from the user plane. The SGSN's signaling function is implemented by the
MME, and the SGSN's forwarding function is implemented by the serving
gateways (S-GW).
 The gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) function is implemented by the
PDN gateway (P-GW).
 The S-GW and P-GW can be deployed on the same physical node.
 The SAE network can access non-3GPP networks, for example, code division
multiple access (CDMA) HRPD networks. This ensures the interconnection between
multiple radio access technologies.

 LTE: long term evolution


 SAE: system architecture evolution
 EPC: evolved packet core
 MME: mobility management entity

UGW9811 System overview

 In a typical implementation of transparent access mode, a carrier acts as an ISP and


provides services, such as email and Web page browsing, to subscribers. Devices,
such as World Wide Web (WWW) servers, email servers, and domain name system
(DNS) servers, are deployed on the carrier IP network. A firewall is deployed between
the carrier IP network and external networks to prevent unauthorized access. The
mobile station (MS)/user equipment (UE) does not need to send any authentication
requests during Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context or EPS bearer context activation.
Therefore, the GGSN/P-GW does not need to initiate a subscriber
authentication/authorization procedure.
 Subscribers access carrier networks without being authenticated but ISP charges
may apply. In a typical implementation of transparent access mode, subscribers are
allocated IP addresses from the carrier IP address space. The IP addresses can be
statically assigned (when a subscriber subscribes to a packet service) or dynamically
allocated during PDP context or EPS bearer context activation.

UGW9811 System overview

 In non-transparent access mode, the GGSN/P-GW requests that the AAA server
perform subscriber authentication during PDP context or EPS bearer context
activation. The AAA server is defined in the access point name (APN) configuration
on the UGW9811. The AAA server is located on the ISP network or intranet that
provides the requested services to subscribers.
 During PDP context or EPS bearer context activation, the MS/UE sends a Create
PDP Context Activation message or a Create Session Request message carrying an
authentication request in the PCO field to the UGW9811. After receiving the
message, the UGW9811 requests the AAA server to perform subscriber
authentication. The AAA server returns the authentication result and requested
content, such as information about the active and standby DNS servers, to the
GGSN/P-GW in the PCO field. The information is then sent by the UGW9811 through
the serving GPRS support node (SGSN)/mobility management entity (MME) to the
MS/UE.
 Subscribers must be authenticated by the AAA server and ISP charges may apply. In
this mode, IP addresses in the carrier IP address space are assigned to subscribers.
The IP addresses can be statically assigned (when a subscriber subscribes to a
packet service) or dynamically allocated during PDP context or EPS bearer context
activation.

 In offline charging mode, UGW9811 supports the following functions:


 CDR generation based on the time threshold
 CDR generation based on the traffic threshold
 CDR generation based on the number of charging condition changes
 CDR generation based on the number of SGSN/S-GW IP changes
 CDR generation triggered by UE deactivation
 Setting multiple tariff periods
 CG selection

 The Diameter online charging function on the UGW9811 is described as follows:


The UGW9811 supports service block or redirection when the balance is

insufficient or the service is not subscribed to.


Based on the characteristics of the application protocol, the UGW9811 can only

redirect packets of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Wireless Application


Protocol 1.x (WAP1.x), and WAP2.0 browsing services. If the OCS sever instructs the
UGW9811 to redirect a subscriber's request to a specific page but the subscriber is
not using the browsing service, the UGW9811 discards the request.
The UGW9811 supports local OCS servers working in active and standby mode.

When detecting that the active OCS does not respond to a request, the UGW9811
automatically sends online charging messages to the standby OCS. Services are not
interrupted during the handover if the OCS servers support switchover.

 GRE VPN
 Based on the layer 3 tunnel technology, the GRE tunnel encapsulates a network
layer protocol over another network layer protocol. Through the GRE tunnel,
packets of upper layer protocols can be transmitted by using the IP protocol,
implementing the virtual private network (VPN) function.
 MPLS L3 VPN
 The MPLS L3 VPN implements the VPN function by using the IP backbone network
of a service provider. The MPLS L3 VPN uses the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to
ddistribute VPN routes on the IP backbone network to separate the traffic of
different VPN members. Then, the MPLS is used to forward VPN packets on the IP
backbone network.
 L2TP VPN
 The L2TP tunnel is a layer 2 tunneling technology. This technology uses the IP
network to set up an L2TP tunnel, and encapsulates data into Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) packets for transmission over the L2TP tunnel. The UGW9811
provides the L2TP access concentrator (LAC) function. The UGW9811 can
construct a VPN (using the L2TP tunnel) to transmit PDP packet data units (PDUs).
 VLAN VPN
 The virtual LAN (VLAN) is a new technology to realize virtual working groups by
dividing network segments based on the logical addresses instead of the physical
addresses of the devices on a LAN. The IEEE issued 802.1Q to standardize VLAN
implementation in 1999. The UGW9811 divides a physical interface into sub-
interfaces, and specifies VLAN IDs for these sub-interfaces to implement the VLAN
VPN function.

 Protocol security authentication


 The UGW9811 supports AAA authentication, plaintext authentication, message
digest 5 (MD5), and hashed message authentication code-MD5 (HMAC-MD5).
 IP Security (IPSec)
 Based on the Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
security protocols, IPSec ensures confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and anti-
replay of data packets.
 Packet filtering and access control list (ACL)
 By means of packet filtering and ACL, the UGW9811 filters incoming packets
based on preset conditions, for example, by checking whether the source and
destination IP addresses of a packet comply with the rules. This can effectively
prevent intrusion or packet attacks.
 SGi interface redirection
 When forwarding uplink packets from subscribers, the UGW9811 redirects the
packets to the SGi interface, even though the packets are to be forwarded to other
subscribers served by the same UGW9811.
 Anti-DDoS protection
 In a DDoS attack, multiple controlled network terminals attack a public port at the
same time. The TCP-SYN flood is one of the most common DDoS attacks. The
UGW9811 controls TCP-SYN traffic of subscribers to protect the server from TCP-
SYN flood attack to a certain extent.
 Anti-spoofing
 This function detects and discards the packets that are transmitted by using IP
addresses of other subscribers to ensure the security of the core network.

 QoS negotiation and mapping


 Creates mapping between SAE ESM QoS and IP-based QoS.
 User-based differentiated service (DiffServ)
 Provides QoS guarantee based on allocation/retention priorities (ARPs) and service
levels.
 Content awareness function
 Provides dynamic QoS policy control during service provision.
 Alias marking function
 The UGW9811 processes services based on priorities provided by carriers. For
other NEs, the priority carried in the QoS information remains unchanged.
 Traffic policing function
 Traffic policing is a mechanism to restrict the bandwidth for data traffic so that
data is transmitted at the specified rate. The mechanism is implemented based on
the committed access rate (CAR) bucket mechanism.
 Traffic shaping function
 Traffic shaping is a measure to adjust the output traffic rate. Packets that do not
meet requirements are cached in a buffer or wait in queues. When tokens are
sufficient in a token bucket, the cached packets are sent at the rate specified for
the token bucket.

UGW9811 System overview

 Over E-UTRAN and evolved packet core (EPC) networks, the EPS provides an IP connection
between the UE and the PDN, known as the PDN connection. Each PDN connection
consists of the EPS bearer and IP connection. The EPS bearer is defined as a logic set of
one or multiple service data flows (SDFs). It meets the requirements for QoS management
and control based on the carrier level.
 The UGW9811 supports multi-granularity QoS management and control. The enhanced
QoS functions are as follows:
 Enhanced bandwidth control and DiffServ functions
 For the UGW9811, QoS parameters such as the QoS class identifies (QCI)
are configured to enhance bandwidth control and DiffServ functions. QCI is
used to control packet forwarding.
 Enhanced traffic policing
 For the UGW9811, the aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR) is configured
to enhance the traffic policing function. The system limits traffic flows to
ensure that the bit rate of a set of data flows is lower than the maximum
bit rate (MBR).
 APN-AMBR: Bandwidth control based on APN-AMBR is used to restrict the
maximum bandwidth for a set of data flows carried by the non-GBR
bearers of all PDN connections set up by a UE under an APN.

UGW9811 System overview

 The service awareness (SA) function of the UGW9811 helps carriers perform the following
operations:
 Service analysis
 When a subscriber surfs the Internet through a browser or watches a
movie online, the traffic is the basis of charging by carriers. The SA
function provides accurate and detailed data traffic information, and
classifies traffic information based on contents. Carriers can charge
subscribers at different tariffs for different service contents. In addition, the
service analysis results are used as the reference for carriers to determine
resource distribution. The UGW9811 can accurately analyze protocol
packets and perform processing accordingly.
 Service control
Based on the analysis of data and analysis of service types, carriers provide

various service packages for subscribers and filter out forbidden services.
 The UGW9811 implements SA on the following service types: HTTP, WAP1.X, streaming
(Quick Time or Real Player), MMS, FTP, and DNS.

 When functioning as an S-GW or P-GW, the UGW9811 supports policy and charging
control (PCC) functions.
 With the rapid development of IP-based networks, packet networks will become basic
platforms for services. Therefore, carriers impose higher requirements for service
awareness, service control, and charging on the packet networks. The PCC function is
developed to satisfy the requirements.
 The UGW9811 supports the PCC architecture; therefore, the UGW9811 can perform QoS
control, charging, and dynamic policy adjustment at the server level.
 When being used on LTE/SAE networks, the UGW9811 supports the PCC function on the
S5 and S8 interfaces on which the GTP or PMIP protocol runs.

QoS policy and charging policy to the S-GW and P-GW respectively. The S-GW
implements the QoS policy and the P-GW implements the charging policy.
 The UGW9811 supports the following PCC functions:
 Static QoS control: When no PCRF is deployed, the policy and charging
enforcement function (PCEF) implements all policies based on the local static
configuration.
 Dynamic PCC control: when the PCRF and AF are deployed on the network, PCC
rules are dynamically generated for services based on QoS requirements and
subscription data of the services. The rules are for service scheduling and charging.
