 TMSI has only local significance (i

(i.e.
e within an SGSN and the area controlled by an SGSN)
 TMSI consists of 4 octets

 GUTI has two main components:

GUMMEI : uniquely identifies the MME which allocated the GUTI shall be constructed from MCC, MNC
and MME Identifier(MMEI)
M-TMSI : uniquely identifies the UE within the MME that allocated the GUTI

 GUTI shall be used to support subscriber identity confidentiality, and, in the shortened S-TMSI form,
to enable more efficient radio signaling procedure (e.g. paging and Service Request)

EPS Bearer Overview
EPS Bearer
– An EPS bearer is the level of granularity for bearer level QoS control in the
C U
EPC/E-UTRAN

Default bearer & dedicated bearer

– Default bearer
– is established when the UE connects to a PDN, and remains established for
always-on IP connectivity to that PDN
– Non
Non- GBR(Guaranteed Bit
Bit-Rate)
Rate) bearer
– The initial bearer level QoS parameter values of the default bearer are
assigned by the network, based on subscription data
– Dedicated
D di t d bearer
b
– Any additional EPS bearer to the same PDN is referred as a dedicated bearer
: By P-GW which determines bearer level QoS and TFT

– The bearer level QoS parameter value is always assigned by EPC

– UE can send a request for establishing a dedicated bearer, modifying bearers and
deactivating bearers , but a decision is made by EPC
– Bearer Modification/Deactivation by MME/PGW/HSS
14
 EPS Bearer Identity
 uniquely identifies an EPS bearer for a UE accessing via E-UTRAN and is allocated by MME
 eNB stores a mapping between a RB and S1 Bearer to lookup E-RAB ID
 The E-RAB ID maps to an EPS Bearer

Bearer Level QoS
• The bearer level QoS parameters are QCI, ARP, GBR, MBR, and AMBR
• Each EPS bearer is associated with the following bearer level QoS parameters:
QoS
Q S Class
Cl Identifier
Id tifi (QCI)
– a scalar (index) that represents the QoS characteristics that EPS is
expected to provide for the service data flow
Allocation and Retention Priority (ARP)

Each GBR bearer is additionally associated with the following bearer level QoS
parameters:
Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR)
Maximum Bit Rate (MBR)

Each APN is associated with an Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (APN AMBR)
Limit AMBR of all non GBR bearers to a APN
A subscription parameter in HSS

Each UE is associated with UE Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (UE AMBR)

Limit AMBR of all non GBR bearers to all active APNs
A subscription parameter in HSS

 UE Mobility Management
• Location of UE is known
• in ECM-Connected mode, on eNodeB Id granularity
• in ECM-Idle mode, on TA list granularity

• UE Connectivity transition
• In order to save radio resource, E-UTRAN releases RRC towards the UE and S1 towards
the SGW.
-> UE changes to ECM
ECM-Idle
Idle mode as a result
• UE changes into ECM-connected mode after initiating the Service Request procedure
when it has a data to send or received

• Reachability Management for UE in idle mode

• MME keeps location information of a UE in ECM-idle mode.
• An ECM-idle UE periodically refreshes its context in the MME via periodic TAU.
• UE may be paged in all cells of the tracking areas (in TAL) in which it is currently
registered
• After expiry of mobile reachable timer, MME may change the EMM state of an attached UE
to EMM-DEREGISTERED.
