Background• Reiterate what have been stated:

Problem Statement – CDG Reference Document #79 recommends three

different packet data roaming architectures:• SIP• MIP• L2TP

– Different operators prefer to use different architectures– Different operators are able to support different

combinations of these architectures for inbound roaming partners.

– Not all of these architectures are compatible

Common Architecture

• Incorporate most roaming scenarios into a common recommended architecture for each CDMA operators based on existing CRX principles

• Simplify the provisioning process

• Future applications proven

Definition of roaming service elements• At operator premise:

– Core Subnet (CS): PDSN/FA/LAC, HA, AAA, MMSC(MM4 Interface)

– Service Subnet (SS): Application Servers (WAP, PoC Server, MMSC, Email)

– Roaming-in Subnet (RIS): IP Subnet assigned to inbound roamers

Definition of roaming service elements

• At CRX premise:

– Core Backbone: routing for Core Subnet traffics

– Virtual Home Subnet: subnet for hosted roaming elements, e.g. LNS for L2TP

Common Architecture for both CRX and Operator • At operator premise:

– GRE Tunnel terminating point (router) as extra element

• GRE Physical end-point (IP) belonging to Core Sub (routable via CRX backbone)

• At CRX Virtual Home Subnet:

– Two GRE tunnel terminating points (routers)

• One tunnel to carry Service Sub routes

• The other tunnel to carry RIS routes

– CRX only routes core sub and GRE tunnels traffics compliant with Doc#94

– Together with LNS in Virtual Home, the architecture resolves most mismatched cases except MIPSIP, where MIP Client is required to fallback SIP

Roaming Scenario: SIPL2TP• Home Operator exchanges its service routes with virtual home via service

tunnel if enforcing roaming-in via CRX.• CRX injects tunnel related attributes in RAIDUS reply package to trigger

visiting PDSN/LAC to build L2TP tunnel with LNS in virtual home.• User traffic is either routed via service tunnel or internet depending on

routes availability at virtual home.

Roaming Scenario: L2TPSIP• Home Operator exchanges its service routes with virtual home via service

tunnel if enforcing roaming-in via CRX.• CRX remotes tunnel related attributes in RAIDUS reply package to ensure

SIP.• Visited Operator assigns inbound roamer with IP within RIS, and routes to

GRE tunnel router where user traffic is either routed to virtual home or Internet depending on the routes availability managed by virtual home.

Roaming Scenario: MIP SIP/L2TP

• MIPSIP/L2TP– Assuming MIP Client supports the fallback-to-SIP

features– The scenario is similar to either L2TPSIP or

SIPL2TP, depending on home network preference

• SIP/L2TP MIP– Assuming PDSN in mobile IP only visited network

supporting either SIP or L2TP– The scenario is similar to either L2TPSIP or

SIPL2TP, depending on home network preference

Summary• Introducing Virtual Home with hosted LNS and GRE tunnel

endpoints at both Virtual Home and operator premises help to bridge the gap among different roaming scenarios

• At operator premise, extra roaming element, the GRE router, requires minimum provisioning comparing to handling all different roaming scenarios

• CRX plays more mediation roles to enhance experience of CDMA data roaming

• The new revised architecture serves as interim solution until all PDSN could support all access requests. No impact on the future architecture, where CRX would just serve as core backbone for core subnets
