Gn Interface GTP protocol GTP’ protocol

GTP protocol

GTP － GPRS Tunneling Protocol Function: Encapsulate the network layer packet( IP pac

ket) in order to add current user information (such as IMSI and TEID etc.) add source GSN IP and destination GSN IP to tunnel the packet to destination GSN.

GTP protocol

GTP protocol is made up of ： Path management Tunnel management Location management Mobility management

Path management

Echo Request: find out if the peer GSN or RNC is alive Echo Response: a response to a received Echo

Request Version Not Support: indicates the latest GTP version

that the GTP entity on the identified UDP/IP address can support

Supported Extension Headers Notification: indicates a list of supported Extension Headers that the GTP entity on the identified IP address can support

Echo Request

Echo Request An Echo Request may be sent on a path to another

GSN or RNC to find out if the peer GSN or RNC is alive (see section Path Failure). Echo Request messages may be sent for each path in use.

A path is considered to be in use if at least one PDP context uses the path to the other GSN. When and how often an Echo Request message may be sent is implementation specific but an Echo Request shall not be sent more often than every 60 seconds on each path.

Echo Response

Echo Response The message shall be sent as a response to a received

Echo Request.

Version Not Support

Version Not Support This message contains only the GTP header and

indicates the latest GTP version that the GTP entity on the identified UDP/IP address can support.

Supported Extension Headers Notification

Supported Extension Headers Notification This message indicates a list of supported Extension

Headers that the GTP entity on the identified IP address can support. This message is sent only in case a GTP entity was required to interpret a mandatory Extension Header but the GSN or RNC was not yet upgraded to support that extension header. The GTP endpoint at the GSN or RNC sending this message is marked as not enabled to support some extension headers (as derived from the supported extension header list).

Course Objectives

Gn Interface GTP protocol GTP’ protocol

GTP’ protocol

GTP’ protocol － used between GSN and CG to transfer billing data Path management: Provide two signals to detect if the p

ath between GSN and CG is available or not; provide a pair of redirection signal to establish redundant billing channel

CDR transfer: provide a pair of signal for normal CDR transfer (request and response).

GSN CG

Redirection Request

Redirection Response

Redirection Req/Resp

When CG notifies GSN to send CDR to another CG (within the same PLMN), when CG needs to conduct software or hardware maintenance or when CG discovers system error, Redirection Command is needed.

Redirection Request message carries IE cause code and suggested CG address

GSN CG

Data Record Transfer Request

Data Record Transfer Response

Data Record Transfer Req/Resp

When GSN sends CDRs to CG or supporting repeated CDR prevention mechanism, Data Record Transfer command will be activated.
