Overview
Describes 3GPP Release-8 Evolved
Packet System and Evolved Packet Core
architectures.
Explains how IPv6 is supported in the
architecture and the different types of
bearers.
Explains some of the basic concepts and
terminology of 3GPP IP access.
Mostly about what is already there
not about all possible enhancements..

PDN Connection
A PDN Connection is an association between an UE and a
PDN, represented by one IPv4 address and/or one /64
IPv6 prefix
A PDN is identified by an APN and a PDN is accessed via a
PDN-GW
A PDN is responsible for the IP address/prefix
management.
On an UE a PDN Connection is equivalent (or visible to an
IP stack) as a virtual network interface.
APN points to a
specific PDN-GW
Pre-Release-8 equivalent for a and
PDN
Connection is the
names the
PDP Context (used in GPRS).

Address Management
IPv4 Address Configuration.
Two methods: DHCPv4 or within the EPS
bearer setup signaling (the common way)
DHCP is optional on both the UE and the
P-GW
IPv4v6 bearer.
The bearer is configured with both IPv4 address and
one /64 prefix.
New bearer type since Release-8.
The link is dual-stack.
V4v6 bearer type is the default in Rel-8 and beyond
Rel 9 has also introduced the DS PDP context type
for UTRAN and EDGE
