• LTE = E-UTRAN = evolved radio network
– Megabit class data rates
– Short delays
– Short transition from idle to active
• SAE = System Architecture evolution
– Evolved IP oriented multi access architecture
• E-UTRAN integrates only to SAE, A/Gb or Iu not possible
• Strongly IP based PS only network
• SAE covers both 3GPP and non-3GPP access technologies
• Seamless roaming between E-UTRAN, 2G and 3G (tight interworking)
• Loose interworking with non-3GPP accesses
• Currently work is progressing on GTP for intra-3GPP mobility and
IETF based mobility for non-3GPP mobility
– The main Architecture specifications 23.401 and 23.402 frozen in June 2008
– Protocol work is ongoing with the goal to freeze it in December 2008
System Architecture Evolution

• Deployments are expected to start with overlapping
cellular coverage
– E-UTRAN overlapping with legacy 3GPP GERAN / UTRAN coverage
– E-UTRAN overlapping with legacy 3GPP2 coverage
– Multi-mode networks and terminals
• E-UTRAN is a packet-only radio with no CS capacity
• Initially E-UTRAN is foreseen as “islands” in the sea of
legacy cellular access
– Mobility between E-UTRAN and legacy access is required
– Mobility between PS and CS domains is required
– Multi-mode terminals expect to use PS coverage where available
– Desire to keep the connectivity and services
SAE/LTE Deployment

Internet
IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS)
• PS domain IP Multimedia service platform
• Based on open IETF standards
– End to end IP (SIP)
– Multi access
• GPRS, I-WLAN, fixed xDSL, Packet Cable defined
• More access technologies to follow...

• 3GPP members, 3GPP2, WiMAX forum, ETSI TISPAN and CableLabs
contribute to 3GPP common IMS specifications
– Different requirements are supported in common implementation
• All IMS specifications are harmonized to 3GPP specifications
– Common parts are defined in 3GPP specifications only
• Core IMS entities (CSCFs, AS, UE IMS client,...) + agreed common functions
– Other organisations either reference or re-use 3GPP specification as it stands
– Any changes or additions in the Common IMS area are made in 3GPP
• All 3GPP members can contribute on their favourite work items
• Ongoing work initiated by 3GPP members, CableLabs, 3GPP2 and ETSI TISPAN
– The scope and coverage of Common IMS have been agreed by the SDOs
• Common version of IMS specifications in Rel-8
– Business or architecture specific additions to 3GPP Common IMS are possible
outside the agreed Common IMS area
Common IMS
10
• Call control protocols
– E-UTRAN is a PS only radio, speech and other services are IMS based
– PS domain IMS uses SIP protocol for call control (3GPP TS 24.229)
– CS domain uses Call Control defined in 3GPP TS 24.008
• Voice Call Continuity
– Domain transfer of ongoing call
– Typically from E-UTRAN to 2G or 3G access
• CS fallback
– Paging the mobile in E-UTRAN to start CS service in 2G or 3G access
– Not an E-UTRAN service, but fallback to existing service via 2G/3G
• IMS service continuity
– IMS service between E-UTRAN and other PS only, such as WLAN
• IMS Centralized Service Control (ICS)
– Common telephony services between CS and PS domain
Multi-mode,
Service continuity
11
Multi-mode,
IMS registration in Rel-7
• When S-CSCF detects that the same UE registers again, it considers
this as an update and overwrites existing registration
• In some cases it may not be possible to de-register when changing
from one access technology to another
– UE might lose radio coverage before being able to de-register
• S-CSCF detects that the registration is from the same UE based on the
same privateID, which is practically a device-ID
E (privateID-A) S-CSCF
REGISTER 1 (privateID-A, IPaddress: 1.2.3.4)

UE registered with 1.2.3.4
REGISTER 2 (privateID-A, IPaddress: a.b.c.d)

12
Multi-mode,
IMS Multiple registration, Rel-8
• A UE is able to register the same public user identity with multiple IP
addresses at the same time
• Used e.g. for IMS Service Continuity (e.g. handing over from I-WLAN
to GPRS)
• No gap in reachability of the mobile

Network selection
• Network selection comprises two parts
– Network operator selection (the goal, based on commercial agreement)
• Home operator determines which visited operators are preferred
– Access technology selection (the means, based on technical criteria)
• Serving visited operator determines access technology, frequency band and cell
• Multi-mode phones supporting many access technologies are a new
challenge
• Network selection within each technology is defined for 3GPP and
non-3GPP accesses
• The combination of multiple technologies is undefined
• Two approaches are foreseen in Rel-8
– 3GPP network selection procedures are extended to cover any non-3GPP
system that supports ITU-T defined concepts of MCC and MNC
– For others the ANDSF can (optionally) download network selection policy
• Access technology preference, policy for changing access technology, etc.
• MCC = Mobile Country Code
• MNC = Mobile Network Code
• ANDSF = Access Network Discovery and Selection Function
