eHRPD… What, Why, and When?
6
What is eHRPD (10,000’ Level)?
An upgrade of existing HRPD (EV-DO) networks to allow EV-DO service providers to introduce SAE/EPC architecture elements to their existing packet core network
Includes both air interface and packet core network changes
eHRPD provides for a high quality of experience for multi-mode UEs
7
Why eHRPD (Carriers’ Perspective)?
CDMA/EV-DO carriers transitioning towards LTE don’t want to do massive “forklift upgrades”• Carriers will have to deploy 1X, EV-DO, and LTE all at the same
time
It’s a phased migration• Carriers can upgrade one small piece at a time without
interruptions
8
Why eHRPD (Consumers’ Perspective)?
Subscribers are used to seamless mobility• Provides an evolutionary path from EV-DO networks to LTE
networks
• Allows seamless services, including handovers, between eHRPD and LTE networks
• One IP address no matter where the user roams, and no matter what network it’s on.

Implementation On the Network:
New Service Options• SO59 – HRPD connection to a Packet Data Network
• SO67 (possible future implementation) – QoS Bearer Service Option
IPv6• Always on; IPv4 on demand
Vendor-Specific Network Protocol (VSNP)• uses VSNCP (Vendor-Specific Network Control
Protocol)
eHRPD’s Impact on the Mobile Device
20
Implementation On Devices and the RAN
On Devices and the RAN• Enhanced Multi-Flow Packet Application (EMFPA)
Implemented as changes in RLP, LUP and FCP
• VSNCP – Vendor Specific Network Control Protocol
In lieu of IPCP, which EV-DO uses to connect to the PDSN, here we use VSNCP to connect to the PDN Gateway
21
Implementation On Devices and the RAN
On Devices and the RAN• VSNP – Vendor Specific Network Protocol
carries RSVP (Resource reservation Protocol) payload for QoS enforcement
• PMIP – Proxy Mobile IP
Replaces MIP stack on the device
• IP-based QoS bearer instead of PPP-based bearer
22
Implementation - Authorization
New Authorization routine consistent with 3GPP standards:• EAP-AKA : Extensible Authentication Protocol
Method for 3rd Generation Authentication and Key Agreement
• EAP-AKA’ : The apostrophe indicates that this is Improved EAP-AKA – Binds network name information to the key
Verifying that eHRPD works
24
eHRPD-specific TestingConformance Tests• Session Negotiation Tests
With eHRPD, HRPD
With (and between) different application subtypes (MFPA, EMPFA, etc.)
• Session Configuration Tests for Dormant Handoff between eHRPD and HRPD
With ProtocolID renegotiated at Connection Request & on access
with eHRPD HRPD personality switch
• CDMA2000 1X and eHRPD Mobility
System Reselection, active & dormant
• Dormant eHRPD to Idle E-UTRAN (and vice versa) Handoffs
With & without A13 session information transfers
25
eHRPD-specific TestingConformance Tests (continued)• PPP Based Main-Service Connection Establishment
Session establishment and authentication
• IP Address Assignment and PDN Attach and Detach Procedures
Includes Vendor Specific Network Control Protocol (VSNCP)
Interoperability Tests• SMS origination and termination during active eHRPD session
• SMS origination and termination during dormant eHRPD session
• Voice call origination and termination during active eHRPD session
• Voice call origination and termination during dormant eHRPD session
26
Adversarial Testing (examples)• HSGW unavailable
• IP address pool depletion
• PDSN/FA errors – no response
