Packet Switched
What is GPRS?
General Packet Radio Service

Why GPRS?
In order to provide the data service out the scope of the fixed network

GPRS network classification


GSM GPRS
UMTS GPRS

Some Abbreviation

GPRS: General Packet Radio Service


TE : Terminal equipment
MT: Mobile terminal
BSS: Base Station Subsystem
UTRAN: UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network
SGSN: Service GPRS Support Node
GGSN: Gateway GPRS Support Node

CG: Charging Gateway


OCS: online charging system
PCRF: Policy and charging rules function

BG: Bordering Gateway


PDN: Packet Data Network

Some Abbreviation
MSC/VLR: Mobile Switch Center/Visitor Location Register
SMS-GMSC: Gateway MSC For Short Message Service

SMS-IWMSC: Short Message Service Interworking MSC


SCP: Service Control Point
GMLC: Gateway Mobile Location Center

GPRS Mobility Management (GMM)
The mobility management functions are used to keep
track of the current location of an MS within the PLMN
or within another PLMN.

Session management
Session Management function manages the PDP
context of MS.

Security management
Identify and authenticate the subscriber identity and
check the validity of service requests of subscribers so
that only valid subscribers can access services provided
by the network.

QOS and traffic management

What is QOS?
QOS classification
1. Conversational
2. Streaming
3. Interactive
4. Background
What is traffic management?

Charging

Can be bases on time or volume


Offline charging
o By GGSN and CG and BS.
o Sending generated eG-CDRs and to CG.
o The standard charging data is sent to a billing system (BS) for
final processing.
Online charging
o By GGSN and OCS.
o Sending online charging information to OCS on Gy Diameter
interface.

Admission control
Routing
Dynamic IP allocation

NETWORK ENTITY: Charging Gateway (CG)

Real-time collection of GPRS CDRs


Temporary storage and buffering of GPRS CDRs
Pre-processing of GPRS CDRs
Sending GPRS CDRs to the mediation and billing
system

10

NETWORK ENTITY: Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF)


Usage based dynamic policy
Duration based dynamic policy
Period based dynamic policy
Service-zone based dynamic policy
Roaming-region based dynamic policy

Rating based dynamic policy


Subscriber notification
Quota Reset

11

NETWORK ENTITY: HLR

Saving and updating GPRS subscriber subscription data


User authentication
Providing location/routing information and processing

needed in mobility management and routing, for example


Saving and updating user service SGSN number and
address
GPRS user location deletion indication
Whether MS is reachable
Subscriber tracing (optional)

12

Important Concept: PDP context


The PDP context is Packet Data Protocol context
PDP context contains all the information needed to
transfer user data between MS and GGSN.
A primary PDP context records the following
information:

PDP type
PDP address
QOS
APN resolution

PDP context exists in MS, SGSN, GGSN and RNC.

13

Important Concept: PDP states


Inactivecannot transmit data

INACTIVE

Activate PDP
Context

Deactivate PDP Context


or
MM state change to IDLE
or PMM-DETACHED

ACTIVE

Activecan transmit data

14

Important Concept : PDP Type and PDP Address


PDP Type
o IPV4
o IPV6
o PPP
PDP Address
o Static IP
o Is defined in HLR
o Public or Private (Valid or invalid)
o Dynamic IP
o Allocates by GGSN
o Valid or invalid

15

Important Concept : Access Point Name (APN)

APN structure:
Network ID.mnc<MNC>.mcc<MCC>.gprs

Network
Identifier

Operator
Identifier

Operator ID : fixed extension, must end with .gprs


Network ID shall not end with .gprs
MNC: mobile network code
MCC: mobile country code
Rightel.mnc20.mcc432.gprs
16

Important Concept : PDP activation procedure


MS

UTRAN

3G-SGSN

1. Activate PDP Context Request


(PDP Type, PDP Address, Access Point Name,
QoS Requested)

3G-GGSN

C1
2. Create PDP Context Request
3. Create PDP Context Response

4. Radio Access Bearer Setup Qos

Charging ID allocation
IP address
5. Update PDP Context Request
6. Update PDP Context Response
C2

7. Activate PDP Context Accept

PDP activation procedure : MS

MS start and send Active PDP context request to SGSN


Provide QoS parameter
Provide a APN-NI
Provide a static IP or null

Receive ACCEPT from SGSN


If the QoS not accept by MS, then starts delete PDP context
procedure.

18

PDP activation procedure : SGSN

Check subscriber data


APN selection
default APN, APN provide from MS and the APN subscribed in HLR
APN-NI.APN-OI.GPRS

QoS negotiation
QoS provided from MS, default QoS , QoS subscribed in HLR

Send message create PDP context request to GGSN


RAB assignment
Send message active PDP context accept to MS
Dynamic IP address
QoS

19

PDP activation procedure : GGSN

Check the APN provided by SGSN

QoS negotiation

Allocate a dynamic IP to the MS

Allocate a charging ID for the PDP context

Return a CREATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message to SGSN


Dynamic IP
QoS
Charging ID
Other information

Update PDP context
