▀ How the PDN Gateway Works
Table 72.
Step
Description
1
The subscriber (UE) attaches to the eHRPD network.
2a
The eAN/PCF sends an A11 RRQ to the HSGW. The eAN/PCF includes the true IMSI of the UE in the A11 RRQ.
2b
The HSGW establishes A10s and respond back to the eAN/PCF with an A11 RRP.
3a
The UE performs LCP negotiation with the HSGW over the established main A10.
3b
The UE performs EAP over PPP.
3c
EAP authentication is completed between the UE and the 3GPP AAA. During this transaction, the HSGW receives the
subscriber profile from the AAA server.
4a
After receiving the subscriber profile, the HSGW sends the QoS profile in A11 Session Update Message to the eAN/PCF.
4b
The eAN/PCF responds with an A11 Session Update Acknowledgement (SUA).
5a
The UE initiates a PDN connection by sending a PPP-VSNCP-Conf-Req message to the HSGW. The message includes the
PDNID of the PDN, APN, PDN-Type=IPv6/[IPv4], PDSN-Address and, optionally, PCO options the UE is expecting from
the network.
5b
The HSGW sends a PBU to the P-GW.
5c
The P-GW processes the PBU from the HSGW, assigns an HNP for the connection and responds back to the HSGW with
PBA.
5d
The HSGW responds to the VSNCP Conf Req with a VSNCP Conf Ack.
5e
The HSGW sends a PPP-VSNCP-Conf-Req to the UE to complete PPP VSNCP negotiation.
5f
The UE completes VSNCP negotiation by returning a PPP-VSNCP-Conf-Ack.
6
The UE optionally sends a Router Solicitation (RS) message.
7
The HSGW sends a Router Advertisement (RA) message with the assigned Prefix.
PMIPv6 Lifetime Extension without Handover
This section describes the procedure of a session registration lifetime extension by the P-GW without the occurrence of
a handover.
