Feature Description

Dedicated Core Networks (DCNs) allows an operator to deploy one or more dedicated core network within a PLMN, with each core network dedicated for specific type of subscriber. The specific dedicated core network that serves a UE is selected based on subscription information and operator configuration, without requiring the UEs to be modified.

Dedicated Core Networks (DCNs) can either provide specific characteristics and functions to the UE or subscriber, or isolate them to a UE or subscriber. For example, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) subscribers, subscribers belonging to a specific enterprise or separate administrative domain, and so on.

This feature aims to route and maintain UEs in their respective DCNs.

Overview

DCNs enable operators to deploy multiple core networks consisting of one or more MME/SGSN and optionally one or more S-GW/P-GW/PCRF.

If a network deploys a DCN selection based on both LAPI indication and subscription information (MME/SGSN), then DCN selection based on the subscription information provided by MME/SGSN overrides the selection based on the LAPI-indication by RAN.

A new optional subscription information parameter, UE Usage Type, stored in the HSS, is used by the serving network to select the DCNs that must serve the UE. The operator can configure DCNs and it's serving UE Usage Type as required. Multiple UE Usage Types can be served by the same DCN. The HSS provides the UE Usage Type value in the subscription information of the UE to the MME/SGSN/MSC. The serving network chooses the DCN based on the operator configured (UE Usage Type to DCN) mapping, other locally configured operator's policies, and the UE related context information available at the serving network.


Note

One UE subscription can be associated only with a single UE Usage Type, which describes its characteristics and functions.

External Interfaces

The following components are enhanced to support the DECOR feature on the MME:

DNS

S-GW or P-GW Selection

To perform S-GW or P-GW selection from DCNs serving UE Usage Type, the existing service parameters of the SNAPTR records are enhanced by appending the character string "+ue-<ue usage type>" to the "app-protocol" name identifying the UE usage type(s) for which the record applies.

For example: S-GW service parameter — x-3gpp-sgw:x-s11+ue-1.10.20 will represent the S-GW which is part of a DCN serving UE usage types 1, 10, and 20.

For example: P-GW service parameter — x-3gpp-pgw:x-s5-gtp+ue-1.10.20:x-s8-gtp+ue-1.10.20 will represent the P-GW which is part of a DCN serving UE usage types 1, 10, and 20.

MMEGI Retrieval

MME uses local configuration for MMEGI corresponding to the UE Usage Type and DNS SNAPTR procedures.

The configuration options for static (local) or DNS or both are provided under decor-profile. If both options are enabled, then DNS is given preference. When DNS lookup fails, static (local) value is used as fallback.

To retrieve the MMEGI identifying the DCN serving a particular UE usage type, the SNAPTR procedure uses the Application-Unique String set to the TAI FQDN. The existing service parameters are enhanced by appending the character string "+ue-<ue usage type>" to the "app-protocol" name identifying the UE usage type for which the discovery and selection procedures are performed.

For example: MME will discover the MMEGI for a particular UE usage type by using the "Service Parameters" of "x-3gpp-mme:x-s10+ue-<ue usage type>". The service parameters are enhanced to identify the UE usage type(s) for which the record applies. The MMEGI will be provisioned in the host name of the records and MMEGI will be retrieved from the host name.

MME or S4-SGSN Selection

To perform MME/S4-SGSN selection from the same DCN during handovers, the existing service parameters are enhanced by appending the character string "+ue-<ue usage type>" to the "app-protocol" name identifying the UE usage type.

If the MME fails to find a candidate list for the specific UE Usage Type, it falls back to the legacy DNS selection procedure.

For example:

For an MME to find a candidate set of target MMEs — "x-3gpp-mme:x-s10+ue-<ue usage type>"

For an MME to find a candidate set of target SGSNs — "x-3gpp-sgsn:x-s3+ue-<ue usage type>"


Note

I-RAT handover between MME and Gn-SGSN is not supported in this release.

S6a (HSS) Interface

To request the UE Usage Type from HSS, MME sets the "Send UE Usage Type" flag in the AIR-Flags AVP, in the AIR command.

The AIR-Flag is set only if the decor s6a ue-usage-type CLI command is enabled under MME-service or Call-Control-Profile.

HSS may include the UE-Usage-Type AVP in the AIA response command in the case of DIAMETER_SUCCESS result code. MME will store the UE Usage Type in the UE context for this result code.

GTPv2 (MME or S4-SGSN)

MME supports the UE Usage Type IE in Identification Response, Forward Relocation Request, and Context Response Messages. If the subscribed UE Usage Type is available, it will be set to the available value, otherwise the MME encodes the length field of this IE with 0.

Similarly, MME will parse and store the UE Usage Type value when received from the peer node.

How It Works

MME obtains the UE Usage type and determines the MMEGI that serves the corresponding DCN.

The MME then compares this MMEGI with its own MMEGI to perform a reroute or process further. In case of reroute, the request message is redirected to the appropriate MME. Refer to the ATTACH and TAU Procedure call flow for more information.

The following deployment scenarios are supported when DECOR is enabled on the MME:

  • Initial request is sent by RAN (eNodeB) when sufficient information is not available to select a specific DCN.

  • MME can be deployed as a part of DCN to serve one or more UE Usage Types.

  • MME can be deployed as part of a Common Core Network (CCN) or Default Core Network, to serve UE Usage Types for which specific DCN is not available.


Note

An MME can service initial RAN requests and also be a part of a DCN or a CCN. However, a particular MME service can only belong to one DCN or CCN within a PLMN domain.

The Dedicated Core Network implements the following functionalities on the MME:

  • NAS Message Redirection

  • ATTACH and TAU Procedures

  • UE Usage Type support on S6a and GTPv2 interfaces

  • SGW/PGW DNS selection procedures with UE Usage Type

  • MME/SGSN selection procedures with UE Usage Type during handovers

  • Roaming

  • Network Sharing

  • DNS based MMEGI selection

  • DCN ID Support

  • HSS initiated DCN reselection

Flows

This section describes the following call flows related to the DECOR feature.

  • NAS Message Redirection Procedure

  • Attach or TAU Procedure

  • HSS initiated Dedicated Core Network Reselection

NAS Message Redirection Procedure

Reroute NAS message is used to reroute a UE from one CN node to another CN node during Attach, TAU, or RAU procedure. This is also used by the MME/SGSN or HSS initiated Dedicated Core Network Reselection procedure.

When the first MME determines the UE Usage Type, it fetches the DCN configuration serving the UE and the corresponding MMEGI (from configuration or DNS). If the MME’s MMEGI is not the same as the MMEGI of the DCN, MME moves the UE to another MME using the NAS messaging redirection procedure.

The following call flow illustrates the NAS Message Redirection procedure:

Figure 1. NAS Message Redirection Procedure

Step

Description

1

The first new MME sends a Reroute NAS Message Request to eNodeB including UE Usage Type and MMEGI among other parameters.

2

RAN selects a new MME based on MMEGI. If no valid MME can be obtained from MMEGI, it selects MME from the CCN or forwards to the same first MME.

3

The second new MME determines from the MMEGI field if the incoming request is a re-routed NAS request or not. Now, if the received MMEGI belongs to the second MME, the call is serviced, else the call is rejected. No further rerouting is performed.

If the UE Usage Type is received by the second MME, it is used for S-GW/P-GW selection.

ATTACH and TAU Procedure

The following figure illustrates a detailed flow of the ATTACH and TAU procedure.

Figure 2. ATTACH and TAU Procedure

Step Description

1

In the RRC Connection Complete message transferring the NAS Request message, the UE provides the DCN-ID, if available. If the UE has a PLMN specific DCN-ID. the UE provides this value and if no PLMN specific DCN-ID exists, then the pre-provisioned default standardized DCN-ID will be provided, if pre-provisioned in the UE.

The RAN node selects a DCN and a serving MME/SGSN within the network of the selected core network operator based on the DCN-ID and configuration in the RAN node. The NAS Request message is sent to the selected node. The DCN-ID is provided by the RAN to the MME/SGSN together with the NAS Request message.

2

The first new MME does not receive the MMEGI from eNodeB. The MME determines the UE Usage Type as follows:

  1. It may receive the UE Usage Type from the old MME in the Identification or Context Response message.

  2. It may determine from the locally available UE context information.

  3. It may determine from the local configuration.

  4. It sends an AIR message to the HSS requesting the UE Usage Type by adding the parameter "Send UE Usage Type" flag in the message.

3

When UE Usage Type is available, and if the MME has to send an AIR message to the HSS to fetch authentication vectors, the “Send UE Usage Type” flag is not set in the AIR message.

4

The first new MME determines to handle the UE:

  1. When there is a configured DCN and the first new MME belongs to the MMEGI serving the DCN.

  2. It will continue with the call flow.

  3. The MME/SGSN sends the DCN-ID, if available, for the new DCN to the UE in the NAS Accept message. The UE updates its stored DCN-ID parameter for the serving PLMN if DCN-ID for serving PLMN is changed.

5

The first new MME determines to reject the UE:

  1. When UE Usage Type is available, but without a matching DCN.

  2. The NAS message is rejected with parameters (For example: backoff timer), such that the UE does not immediately re-initiate the NAS procedure.

6

The first new MME determines to reroute the UE:

  1. When there is a configured DCN and first new MME does not belong to the MMEGI.

  2. The first new MME sends a Context Acknowledge message with cause code indicating that the procedure is not successful. The old MME/SGSN will continue as if Context Request was never received.

  3. First new MME performs the NAS redirection procedure and the request may be routed by RAN to a second new MME.

7

The second new MME determines to handle the UE or reject it; the MME does not perform another re-route. The process of handling the UE or rejecting the UE is similar to the procedure used in the case of the first new MME.

The second new MME does not fetch UE Usage Type from the HSS. It receives either from the RAN node or the old MME.

HSS Initiated Dedicated Core Network Reselection

This procedure is used by the HSS to update (add, modify, or delete) the UE Usage Type subscription parameter in the serving node. This procedure may result in change of serving node of the UE.

The following call flow illustrates the HSS Initiated DCN Reselection procedure.

Figure 3. HSS Initiated Dedicated Core Network Reselection Procedure

Step

Description

1

The HSS sends an Insert Subscriber Data Request (IMSI, Subscription Data) message to the MME. The Subscription Data includes the UE Usage Type information.

2

The MME updates the stored Subscription Data and acknowledges the Insert Subscriber Data Request message by returning an Insert Subscriber Data Answer (IMSI) message to the HSS. The procedure ends if the MME/SGSN continues to serve the UE.

As per this callflow, one of the following steps occur:

  • Steps 3 through 6 occur in case the UE is already in connected mode or UE enters connected mode by initiating data transfer.

  • Step 7 occurs in case the UE is in idle mode and performs a TAU/RAU procedure.

Important:

Paging is not supported in this release. If the UE is in idle mode, MME waits until the UE becomes active.

3

The UE initiates NAS connection establishment either by uplink data or by sending a TAU/RAU Request.

4

The MME triggers the GUTI re-allocation procedure and includes a non-broadcast TAI.

5

The MME releases RAN resources and UE is moved to idle mode.

6

The non-broadcast TAI triggers the UE to immediately start the TAU procedure. The MME receives the TAU Request message.

7

The UE performs a TAU request. The MME receives the TAU Request message

8

The MME triggers the NAS Message redirection procedure to redirect the UE if:

  • the UE Usage Type for the UE has been added or modified and if it is not served by the MME

  • the UE Usage Type has been withdrawn from the HSS subscription data and subscriptions without UE Usage Type are not served by the MME

UE assisted Dedicated Core Network Selection

The UE assisted Dedicated Core Network Selection feature reduces the need for DECOR reroute by using DCN-ID sent from the UE and DCN-ID used by RAN to select the correct DCN.

  • The DCN-ID will be assigned to the UE by the serving PLMN and is stored in the UE per PLMN-ID. Both standardized and operator specific values for DCN-ID are acceptable. The UE will use the PLMN specific DCN-ID whenever it is stored for the target PLMN.

  • The HPLMN may provision the UE with a single default standardized DCN-ID that will be used by the UE only if the UE has no PLMN specific DCN-ID of the target PLMN. When a UE configuration is changed with a new default standardized DCN-ID, the UE will delete all stored PLMN specific DCN-IDs.

  • The UE provides the DCN-ID to RAN at registration to a new location in the network, that is, in Attach, TAU, and RAU procedures.

  • RAN selects the serving node MME based on the DCN-ID provided by UE and configuration in RAN. For E-UTRAN, the eNodeB is conveyed with DCNs supported by the MME during setup of the S1 connection in S1 Setup Response.

Roaming

MME in the visited PLMN provides an operator policy that allows to serve a UE whose home PLMN does not support DCNs. MME also provides operator policies that support the UE Usage Type parameter received from the HPLMN HSS.

Network Sharing

MME supports DCN selection based on the selected PLMN information received from the UE.

Limitations

The DECOR feature has the following limitations:

  • Only one MMEGI can be configured per DCN.

  • DCN deployments as part of a PLMN is not supported. The ability to configure DCN for a set of TAI/TAC is not supported.

  • UE-Usage lookup from HSS during handovers/S3-S10 based Attach is not supported (Explicit AIR, UE moving from non-DCN network to DCN network).

  • MME initiated DCN re-selection is not supported.

  • DIAMETER_AUTHENTICATION_DATA_UNAVAILABLE result code is not supported.

  • HSS initiated UE usage type withdrawal is not supported. Only change in UE usage type is supported.

  • DCNs can be deployed partially or heterogeneously.

    • Handover from service area where DCN is not used to an area where DCN is supported. In this case, MME does not receive UE Usage Type.

      In this release, MME is treated as if UE does not have UE Usage Type.

    • The target MME or SGSN obtains the UE Usage Type information from the HSS during the subsequent TAU or RAU procedure. If the target MME/SGSN determines that the S-GW does not support the UE Usage Type, the target MME/SGSN must trigger the S-GW relocation as part of the handover procedures.

      In this release, S-GW relocation is not supported.
