¿Que es GPRS?
Significa General Packet Radio Service y define la trasmisión de datos en una red de
paquetes.
Las conexiones basadas en GPRS se establecen mediante un APN (Access Point Name) y,
según las condiciones de la red, posiblemente requiera autenticación.
The OMU is the interface between the Nokia SGSN, a higher-level network
management system, and/or the local operator. The OMU is also used for system
maintenance. Both hardware and software configurations are performed through the
OMU. In addition, the OMU handles system supervision, diagnostics, recovery, and
alarm functions. The OMU can produce local alarm printouts or send fault indications
to the Network Management System (NMS). In the event of a fault, the OMU
automatically activates appropriate recovery and diagnostics procedures.
The main purpose of the MCHU is to produce accurate charging information and send
it to the Charging Gateway (CG). In addition, the MCHU collects and stores statistical
data about the whole system. The unit also works as a subscriber database distributor
for SMMU units.
The marker functionality maintains semi-permanent connections through the group
switch. These connections are used internally to connect signalling terminals and
frame relay bearer channels to external Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) time slots.

The main purpose of the SMMU is to support subscriber GMM. It uses several SS7-based interfaces (Gr,
Gd, Ge, Gs, and Gf) that connect the SGSN to various Network Switching Subsystem (NSS) network
elements. The SMMU supports the following protocols that are used in the above-mentioned interfaces:
- Mobile Application Part (MAP)
- Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP)
- Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP)
- Message Transfer Part (MTP)
- Sigtran - SS7 MTP3-User Adaptation Layer (M3UA)
- Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
- Base Station System Application Part (BSSAP+)
The protocol stack for the Gr, Gd, and Gf interfaces is the same. For handling GMM, the SMMU has a
database for visiting GPRS subscribers. Subscribed Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts are also stored
in an SMMU database.
A subscribed PDP context is somewhat different from an active PDP context. A subscribed PDP context
contains a subscribed parameter set that is related to a certain PDP type, and possibly also a static
address. The parameter set includes the subscribed Quality of Service (QoS), APN, and information
whether the context can be activated to a visiting network Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN). In the
SGSN, it is a database entry. A corresponding active PDP context may not exist at a given time.
An active PDP context refers to a packet data session. It uses parameters that are defined for the
subscribed PDP context. The necessary buffer space and processor capacity is reserved for it, thus
making effective data transfer possible.

The main purpose of the PAPU is to process and relay user data between the 2G and 3G radio networks and to the
GPRS backbone network. For this purpose, the PAPU maintains active PDP contexts for the subscribers. In order to
carry the user data between the BSS/RNC (Gb/Iu interface) and the GPRS backbone (Gn interface), the PAPU must
support a large set of protocols.
GPRS Mobility Management (GMM) and Session Management (SM) use the services provided by the LLC layer. In a
way, they make up a protocol layer of their own. In addition to the GMM and SM, the Short Message Service (SMS)
functionality uses the LLC layer also, in order to carry short messages to and from the subscriber.
The GMM and SM entities are used by the PAPU to handle location and session management control tasks
towards the Mobile Station (MS) and other GPRS support nodes.
The introduction of 3G functionality in SG6.0 affects processes run in PAPU. Along with 3G, RANAP protocol is
introduced to the PAPU unit. RANAP is the signalling protocol between the SGSN and RNC providing the SGSN with
the means to create GTP tunnels and request and reserve resources in the Radio Access Network. RANAP also
facilitates the
the transmission of SGSN-UE signalling messages. GPT-C signalling towards the GGSN is the same in 2G and 3G
sides.
3G user plane processing is done completely inside the IOCP-E or IOCP-EA card. This means that the GTP-U process
is moved to IOCP-E/IOCP-EA card and connection to GGSN is also done via IOCP-E/IOCP-EA.
The PAPU also handles the CAP protocol and controls the Intelligent Network (IN) connection to the Service Control
Point (SCP).
In native SG6.0 hardware if the maximum amount of PAPU units in the SGSN is five (PAPU0-1 … PAPU0-4), then
PAPU can be equipped with three AS7-C plug-in units to improved FR connectivity capacity. If the amount of PAPU
units in the SGSN is more than five (PAPU0-5 … 0-16), then PAPU can be equipped with maximum of two AS7-C
plug-in units. By default, each PAPU contains one AS7-C plug-in unit.
In native SG6.0 hardware it is possible to run ATM and Frame Relay in a same PAPU. With upgraded hardware it is
not possible due to lack of free plug-in unit slot in cartridge for AS7-C. If ATM and Frame Relay connections are
needed in the same PAPU, then both IOCP-EA and AS7-C plug-in units must be installed.

The Gb interface transfers signalling and user data between the SGSN
and the Base Station Subsystem (BSS). The Gb interface covers both the
transmission between the SGSN and the Base Station Controller (BSC),
and the logical radio interface between the SGSN and the Mobile Station
(MS). The Gb interface uses communication paths, called Network Service
Virtual Connections (NS-VCs), to transmit the user data. NS-VCs are
transported through paths offered by the subnetwork of the Gb interface.
In traditional Gb interface configuration, the subnetwork is based on Frame
Relay (FR) over Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) circuits. In an FR-based
subnetwork the path for NS-VC is static: a timeslot (or multiple timeslots) in
a PCM between the SGSN and the BSS.
Feature SG01048: Nokia SGSN Gb over IP offers an alternative way to
configure the Gb interface's subnetwork which is based on IP and the
physical layer is Ethernet. When the Gb interface is based on IP, an NSVC
is a pair of User Datagram Protocol (UDP)/Internet Protocol (IP)
endpoints: one UDP/IP address in the BSS and one UDP/IP address in the
SGSN.
Both the IP-based and the FR-based Gb interfaces can exist parallel in the
same SGSN.

The Nokia Siemens Networks SGSN is a field-proven product with over 800 installed
systems in operative networks. The SGSN is currently delivered on DX 200 hardware
platform. In release SG8.0, Nokia Siemens Networks provides SGSN on a new
hardware platform: ATCA.
SGSN on ATCA software is based on the same application software, server software
and platform software components as the DX 200 SGSN software. Adaptation to
different hardware platforms is done in the lower layers of the platform software,
which makes the hardware transparent to the application.
