    1. 3 G Wireless Networks

    In 1998, the International Telecommunications

    Union (ITU) called for Radio Transmission Technology

    (RTT) proposals for IMT-2000 (originally called Future

    Public Land Mobile Telecommunications Systems

    (FPLMTS)), the formal name for the Third Generation

    standard. Many different proposals were submitted.

    The DECT and TDMA/ Universal Wireless

    Communications organizations submitted plans for the

    RTT to be TDMA-based, whilst all other proposals for

    non-satellite based solutions were based on wideband

    CDMA. The main submissions were Wideband CDMA(WCDMA) and cdma2000. The ETSI/ GSM players

    including infrastructure vendors such as Nokia and

    Ericsson backed WCDMA while the North American

    CDMA community, led by the CDMA Development

    Group (CDG) including infrastructure vendors such as

    Qualcomm and Lucent Technologies, backed

    CDMA2000.

    The proposed IMT-2000 standard for third

    generation mobile networks (or 3G) globally is a

    CDMA-based standard that encompasses the

    interfaces - wideband CDMA, CDMA2000 and the

    Universal Wireless Communication (UWC-136)

    interfaces. This will ensure a globally available wide

    range of services including telephony, paging,

    messaging, Internet and broadband data.

    Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS) is the

    widely used European name for 3G. UMTS is being

    implemented in various phases:

    ! 3GPP Rel 1999: Basically an evolution of the GSM

    voice services that benefit from 3G technologies.

    ! 3GPP Rel 4: Provides a migration for operators

    from Rel 1999 circuit switched domain to an IP-

    based core network infrastructure.

    ! 3GPP Rel 5: It specifies voice and multimedia

    services on an end-to-end IP transport provided

    by an enhanced General Packet Radio Service

    (GPRS) in the packet-switched domain.

    3G Systems are intended to provide a global

    mobility with wide range of services including

    telephony, paging, messaging, Internet and

    broadband data. Third Generation (3G) mobile devices

    and services will transform wireless communications

    into on-line, real-time connectivity. 3G wireless

    technology will allow an individual to have immediate

    access to location-specific services that offer

    information on demand. Because of its potential to

    provide high-speed data services, 3G is likely to

    emerge as an alternative to existing broadband access

    technologies such as ADSL and cable.

    1.1. Benefits

    3G systems are designed for multimedia

    communication between mobile users. Third

    Generation (3G) provides a new network architecture

    that will offer mobile users high-speed connectivity of

    the order of 2 Mbps. These systems provide the

    following benefits:

    ! High degree of commonality in design worldwide.

    ! Enhanced Bit rate as ATM is used as the core

    technology.

    ! Variable bit rate to offer bandwidth-on-demand.

    (Again an ATM feature).

    ! Multiplexing of different services (e.g. Voice,

    video, data etc) with different QoS requirements

    on a single connection

    ! Support for asymmetric up-link and down-link

    traffic rate

    ! Worldwide roaming capability.

    ! Provides better power control so that UE has to

    consume less power

    1.2. Architecture

    3G wireless networks consist of a Radio Access

    Network (RAN) and a core network.

    The core network consists of a packet-switched

    domain and a circuit-switched domain. The PDN

    includes 3G SGSNs and GGSNs, which provide the

  • 8/14/2019 Hss Megaco in 3g Core Network

    6/19

    HSS MEGACO In 3G Core Network

    6

    same functionality that they provide in a GPRS

    system, and the CSN includes 3G MSC for switching of

    voice calls. RAN functionality is independent from the

    core network functionality. The access networkprovides a core network technology independent

    access for mobile terminals to different types of core

    networks and network services.

    The Radio Access Network consists of new

    network elements, known as Node B and Radio

    Network Controllers (RNCs). Node B is comparable to

    the Base Transceiver Station in 2G wireless networks.

    RNC replaces the Base Station Controller. It manages

    radio resources, handover control and providessupport for the connections to circuit-switched and

    packet-switched domains. The interconnection of the

    network elements in RAN and between RAN and core

    network is over Iub, Iur and Iu interfaces based on

    ATM as a layer 2 switching technology.

    Data services run from the terminal device over

    IP, which in turn uses ATM as a reliable transport with

    QoS. Voice is embedded into ATM from the edge of

    the network (Node B) and is transported over ATM

    out of the RNC.

    The Iu interface is split into 2 parts: circuit

    switched and packet-switched. The Iu interface is

    based on ATM with voice traffic embedded on virtual

    circuits using AAL2 technology and IP-over-ATM for

    data traffic using AAL5 technology. These traffic types

    are switched independently to either 3G SGSN fordata or 3G MSC for voice.

    2. DecomposedArchitecture for 3G Core

    Network

    One of the main features of the Release 4 of

    UMTS specification was to evolve the R99 circuit

    switched domain (CS domain) in a transport network

    independent manner to allow the use of different

    transport resources (ATM, IP). It provides the

    flexibility for PLMN internal transport that allows IP

    based transport mechanisms. In the case of ATM or IP

    transport, the passage of compressed speech at

    variable bit rates is possible through the CS core

    network.

    Transport and control functions of the CS domain

    network are separated to enable service provision by

    different means of transport resources (ATM, IP) for

    better transport resource efficiency and convergence

    with the PS domain transport. ITU-T Q1902 "Bearer

    Independent Call Control" (BICC) architecture has

    been the basis of all the 3G Core Network

    standardization efforts in the CS domain.

    BICC has following logical elements:

    ! Call Serving Function (CSF): CSF provides

    services associated with the narrowband service.

    It provides the interworking functionality for

    incoming and outgoing call signals, indicates the

    call characteristics to the peer CSF, and invokes

    the Bearer Control Nodal Functions (BCF)

    necessary to transport the narrowband bearer

    service across the backbone network.

    ! Bearer InterWorking Function (BIWF): This

    functional entity provides bearer control functions

    (BCF) and media mapping/switching functions

    within the scope of a Serving Node (SN). A BIWF

    contains BCF and MMSF. These are described

    next.

    ! Bearer Control Function (BCF): BCF provides

    common control of the bearer switching function,

    the communication capability with its associated

    CSF, and the signaling capability necessary for

    the establishment and release of the bearer to its

    peer. The Call Bearer Control (CBC) signaling is

    used between the CSF an BCF entities in case

    these are physically separate. The CBC protocol is

    specified in ITU-T Q.1950.

    ! Media M apping/ Switching Function (MMSF):

    This entity provides for controlled interconnection

    between two bearers and optionally the

    conversion of the bearer from one technology

    and adaptation/encoding technique to another.

    ! Media Control Function (MCF): This functional

    entity interacts with the BCF to provide the

    control of the bearer and MMSF. The BICC

    architecture allows for the interface between the

    BCF and MCF to be open (the BMC interface),

    but the splitting of the bearer interworkingfunctionality split into the BCF and MMSF is not

    considered to be the responsibility of the BICC

    standardization group.

    2.1. MEGACO: A preferred choice forCBC Interface in BICCDecomposed Model

    The, the H.248 Media Gateway Control Protocol

    (MEGACO) was found to be a strong contender for the

    protocol to be used as the CBC interface during the

    course of development of BICC CS2 for the following

    reasons:

    ! The MEGACO connection/context model is generic

    in nature and provides explicit control to MGC

    (CSF in SN) to control both the incoming and the

    outgoing sides of the connection. CSF also has

    the flexibility to monitor the internal through-

    connection between incoming and the outgoing

    bearers. This flexible connection handling allows

    support of different call models and different

    media processing purposes.

    ! The generic connection framework of MEGACO is

    easily extensible through the concept of

    packages, which define the necessary attributes

    (events/signals/properties/statistics) Procedural

    guidelines with reference to the specific need for

    any particular package have also been defined.

    ! MEGACO caters to advanced and feature specific

    needs via the rich capability set of the protocol,

    supporting multi-media terminations, providing

    support for varied media interconnection

    scenarios in supplementary services, multi-party

    conferencing and electronic surveillance

    requirements.

    ! Megaco supports the concept of Virtual MGs thatallows dynamic sharing of MGW physical node

    resources. A physical MGW can be partitioned

    into logically separate virtual MGWs/domains

    consisting of a set of statically allocated

    Terminations. .

    2.2. Decomposed MSC Architectureas per 3G Specifications

    As mentioned above 3GPP uses BICC as the base

    architecture and this BICC suite in turn refers to

    MEGACO for interfacing MSC server (CSF functionality)

    with the MGW (BIWF/BCF functionality).

    The CS core network shall employ the MSC

    server, GMSC server and Media gateways

    MSC Server

    The MSC server mainly comprises the call control

    and mobility control parts of a GSM/UMTS MSC as

    described in 3GPP TS 23.002. It is also integrated with

    a VLR to hold the mobile subscriber's service data and

    CAMEL related data. The MSC server terminates the

    user-network signaling (see 3GPP TS 24.008) and

    translates it into the signaling over the Nc interface. It

    also terminates the signaling over the Mc interface

    with the media gateway. The MSC server controls the

    parts of the call state model that pertain to connection

    control for media channels in an MGW. It also

    provides the 'Call Control Function' in the BICC model.

    GMSC Server

    The GMSC server mainly comprises the call

    control and mobility control parts of a GSM/UMTS

    GMSC as described in 3GPP TS 23.002. The GMSC

    server terminates the signaling over the Nc interface

    and the call control interfaces to the external

    networks. It also terminates the signaling over the Mc

    interface towards the media gateway. The GMSC

    server controls parts of the call state model that

    pertain to connection control for media channels in an

    MGW. It also contains the 'Call Control Function' in the

    BICC model

    Media Gateway

    The media gateway terminates the signaling over

    the Mc interface from the (G)MSC servers. It also

    terminates the bearer part of the signaling over the Iu

    interface and the Nb interface. The bearer signaling

    from RNC to Media gateway over the Iu interface is

    defined by ALCAP signaling procedures. The media

    gateway contains bearer terminations and media

    manipulation equipment (e.g. transcoders, echo

    cancellers, or tone senders). It may perform media

    conversion and framing protocol conversion.

    Figure 3: MSC Network Diagram

    The Mc reference point describes the interfaces

    between a MSC server and a Media Gateway which as

    mentioned above is based on Megaco.

    The 3GPP document TS 29.232 describes the Mc

    interface. The Media Gateway Controllers covered in

    this specification are the MSC server and the GMSC

    server. The BICC architecture as described in 3GPP TS

    23.205 and 3GPP 29.205 defines the usage of this

    protocol.

    BICC tailored the MEGACO H.248 protocol by

    adding a few packages (Q.1950) and Annex C native

    tags. 3GPP further tailored it for MSC-MGW by adding

    the following 3G specific packages for handling 3G

    specific features.

    ! 3GUP (User Plane) package

    The MGC uses this package to indicate to the

    MGW that the Iu (or Nb) User Plane is used

    between the RNC (or distant MGW) and theMGW. The package is sent in the Establish

    bearer, Modify Bearer Characteristics and Prepare

    bearer procedures.

    ! Circuit Switched Data package and

    Enhanced Circuit Switched Data package

    These packages contain the information needed

    to be able to support GSM and UMTS Circuit

    Switched Data from the media gateway. When

    the Media Gateway Controller initiates the

    "Establish Bearer" procedure, the "Prepare

    Bearer" procedure, the "Modify Bearer" procedure

    or the "Reserve Circuit" procedure, it shall

    provide the PLMN BC ("plmnbc" property above)

    for the termination on the mobile side and the

  • 8/14/2019 Hss Megaco in 3g Core Network

    11/19

    11

    ISDN BC for the termination on the fixed side. For

    a mobile-to-mobile call, it shall provide the PLMN

    BC on both terminations. The presence of the

    PLMN BC property may trigger the use of the

    IWF.

    ! TFO package

    Tandem Free Operation (TFO) is intended to

    avoid the traditional double speech

    encoding/decoding in MS to MS (GSM), MS to UE

    (GSM/3G) or UE to UE (3G) call configurations.

    The key advantages of Tandem Free Operation

    are

    ! Improvement in speech quality by avoidingthe double transcoding in the network;

    ! Possible savings on the inter-PLMNtransmission links, which are carrying

    compressed speech compatible with either

    32/16/8 kbps sub-multiplexing schemes,

    including packet switched transmission;

    ! Possible savings in processing power in thenetwork equipment since the transcoding

    functions in the Transcoder Units are

    bypassed;

    ! Possible reduction in the end-to-endtransmission delay.

    This package defines events and properties for

    Tandem Free Operation (TFO) control.

    ! 3G Expanded Call P rogress Tones Generator

    Package and Flexible Tone Generator

    Package

    These packages extend "Expanded Call Progress

    Tones Generator Package. These packages add

    a new toneId for CAMEL prepaid warning tone to

    inform the party that the Max Call Period

    Duration is about to expire.

    ! Modification Of Link Characteristics Bearer

    Capability Package

    This package contains an event, which when

    requested by the MGC, will cause the MG to

    notify the MGC that modification of the link

    characteristics is allowed. This notification is

    typically generated when the bearer has been

    established.

    ! Cellular Text telephone Modem Text

    Transport Package

    The CTM text transport package is intended for

    enabling robust real time text conversation

    through a voice channel primarily intended for

    communication over mobile networks. This

    package includes the mechanisms needed to

    transport T.140 text conversation streams [19] in

    a voice channel environment, using the CTM

    Cellular Text Telephone Modem. The transport

    mechanism allows for alternating transmission of

    voice and text.

    ! IP transport package

    This package contains the information needed to

    be able to support IP transport from RAN to the

    media gateway.

    2.3. Summary

    As 3G networks are migrating to use packet-

    based transport mechanisms for data within the

    network, transmission of voice media is also migrating

    over to this Packet Network. With the introduction ofthe Softswitch-based Architecture, where the Mobile

    Switching Center (MSC) is disintegrated into a call

    control MSC Server (Softswitch) and switching Media

    Gateway(s) interfacing through the MEGACO protocol

    , network operators worldwide stand to gain many

    benefits .
