Summary


What is Diameter?

Diameter is a protocol defined by IETF RFC 6733 and widely used within IMS and LTE networks for Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA)

Diameter provides functionality within new networks (previously provided by SS7 protocols such as GSM MAP)

As mobile networks evolve, Diameter (along with SIP) is set to play a dominant role, as seen from the evolution of successive 3GPP releases:

Release ’99’ - 2G network using SS7 MAP, INAP / ISUP

Release 4 introduced SIGTRAN M3UA and IP core network

Release 5 introduced IMS with SIP and Diameter

Subsequent releases saw an increased use of Diameter in preference to other protocols where possible

In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) Releases 8 and 9, Diameter is the dominant protocol with SIP

Policy Exchange Controllers: Enriching Diameter Signaling for LTE and IMS, Yankee Group Research Inc., 2011


Why Diameter?

Diameter is key to managing the mobile experience Mobility Management (cf. GSM MAP services)

Equipment Check (cf. Equipment Identity Register)

Policy Enforcement

Charging (Online & Offline)

Access to Home Subscriber Server data (cf. HLR access)

Many Mobile Providers have SS7 and SIGTRAN Signaling connectivity to access network entities and deliver services

Diameter will provide many of these services in IMS or LTE networks

Diameter will be used for interworking between 2G/3G and LTE networks

For instance, Diameter “Update Location Request” is used by roaming mobile devices as they register onto a new network


Diameter – many interfaces, things can get complex!

Summary


S6a/S6d Interface [3GPP TS 29.272]

“S6a interface enables the transfer of subscriber related data between the MME and the HSS” [3GPP TS 29.272]

MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION service becomes Diameter ‘Update-Location-Request/Answer’

Diameter is used for migrating Roaming Services to UMTS/LTE networks

MME HSS

Update Location Request

Update Location Answer


S13 / S13’ Interface [3GPP TS 29.272]

S13 & S13’ interfaces are used for Mobile Equipment Identity check procedure in UMTS & LTE networks

Today, MAP customers use MAP_CHECK_IMEI service (Pre Release 8 UMTS/GPRS network)

Diameter is used to take Equipment Identity Check service into UMTS/LTE networks

MME EIR

ME-Identity-Check-Request

ME-Identity-Check-Answer


Ro, Rf interfaces [3GPP TS 32.299]

Interfaces used for Diameter Charging Applications Enables ‘Direct Mobile Billing’

Enables Mobile Payments

Enables Application charges for VAS

Rf is the Offline Charging Reference Point between a 3G network element and the Charging Data Function

Ro is the Online Charging Reference Point between a 3G network element and the Online Charging System [3GPP TS 32.299]


Direct Mobile Billing, Mobile Payments

Mobile Payments market is large and growing

$241 billion in 2011/ $1 trillion in 2015 (Yankee Group)

Used for Credit / Authorization

Used for Authentication

Used for Convenience / Efficiency

One approach is referred to as Direct Mobile Billing

1. At checkout, Web Site offers Mobile payment option

2. User enters Mobile# (if not already known by site)

3. User receives SMS with one use PIN

4. User enters PIN at Web Site

Popular Mobile Payment method in Asia

Transactions normally completed in about 10 seconds


Direct Mobile Billing, Mobile Payments Use Case Example

Four parties involved

Vendor: lots of these

Vendee: lots of these

Mobile Operator: several of these

Broker

Brokers avoid the need for all Vendors to establish relationships with all Mobile operators

Brokers own the service and the equipment

– Their home network; whether they are roaming

– Presence (is the handset switched on?)

– Called and calling numbers

– SMS messages (what and who)

– Call times & duration

– Cell ID, i.e., handset location

– IMEI, handset identifier

– API is the same as TDM SS7 (MTP2) monitoring
