2 Executive Summary The Long Term Evolution (LTE) control plane is responsible for control operations such as network attaches, security control, authentication, setting up of bearers, and mobility management. It corresponds to the information flow and signaling between User Equipment (UE), Evolved- UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC), which includes all the Radio Resource Control (RRC), E- UTRAN signaling and Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) signaling. In other words, the LTE control plane is a string of sequential operations that are very compute centric. Intel Architecture processors are competitive in terms of performance/watt, and are an excellent choice for control plane applications. This paper provides an overview of the LTE control plane architecture and the nature of the computing power required to optimize control plane system performance. To help select an IA processor that provides the needed power/performance, you can use the EEMBC CoreMark* benchmarking tool. Examples of how to do this are provided, along with current platform options from Intel. LTE Control Plane is a string of sequential operations which are very compute centric. IA processors are competitive in terms of performance/watt, and are an excellent choice for control plane applications.

Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more complete information about performance and benchmark results, visit: and Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families: Go to: Learn About Intel Processor Numbers Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmark data or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmark data are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmark data are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase. Configurations: Three processors were used: Intel Xeon Processor L5638, Intel Xeon Processor E3-1125C, and Intel Xeon Processor E3-1275v2 Tested using Red Hat* Enterprise Linux Server 6.1 Beta 32-bit OS, kernel version el6.i686. EEMBC CoreMark* was used to obtain benchmarking results shown. EEMBC CoreMark* binaries built with Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 sp The compiler flags used are O3 and processor specific flags. Tests conducted December LMBench* results obtained in December
4 LTE Control Plane Architecture The control plane manages the information flow and signaling between E- UTRAN and EPC. Figure 1 describes a simplified view of the EPS architecture, which focuses on E-UTRAN/EPC interactions, user signaling and data connectivity [1]. The S1 interface defines the forwarding packets between enodeb and MME/Serving gateway. The MME is a main control element for the LTE access-network. It covers all the UE tracking and paging procedures including retransmissions. It also plays a key role in the bearer activation/deactivation process and is responsible for choosing the right Serving GW for a UE at the initial attach and at the time of intra-lte handover involving Core Network (CN) node relocation. The S1 interface can be split into two parts [2]: S1-U (for User plane) which carries user data between enodeb and the Serving GW. S1-C/S1-MME (for Control plane) which is a signaling-only interface between the enodeb and the MME. Figure 1. Simplified LTE Network Architecture LTE Control Plane Protocol Stack From the protocol stack perspective, as shown in Figure 2 [3], the control plane uses the same PHY, MAC, RLC, and PDCP to transport both RRC and Core Network NAS signaling. The RLC, MAC and PHY layers support the same functions for both the user and control planes. This does not mean that the user and control plane information is transmitted the same way. Several Radio Bearers can be established between the terminal and the network, each of them corresponding to a specific transmission scheme, radio protection method and priority handling. Additional control plane layers include the RRC,
5 E-UTRAN signaling (supporting functions such as Radio Bearer management, radio mobility, user paging), and NAS signaling (functions and services that are independent from the access technology). Figure 2. LTE Control Plane Protocol Stack The Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol belongs to the UMTS WCDMA protocol stack and handles the control plane signaling of Layer 3 between the UEs (User Equipment) and the UTRAN [4]. It includes: RRC connection management Establishment and release of radio resources Broadcast of system information Paging Transmission of signaling messages to and from the EPC The RRC also supports a set of functions related to end-user mobility for terminals in RRC Connected state. This includes: Measurement control the configuration of measurements performed by the terminal and the method reporting them to the enodeb Support of inter-cell mobility procedures (handover) User context transfer during handover Control Plane Protocol Handling A lot of protocol signal handling happens within the control plane, including system information broadcast, MME configuration update procedure, contention/non-contention based random access procedure, RRC connection setup, attach/detach procedure, NAS common procedure, and many more. An example of the attach procedure is shown in Figure 3 [5]. A set of complex protocol signaling exchange takes place in the control plane for a single UE attachment. When more UEs become attached, more resources are taken up to process all these procedures. Depending on the coverage and the capacity of the cell size, the attach/detach rate can range from several UEs to several hundred UEs within seconds. 5
6 Figure 3. Example of Attach Procedure During signalling, the state machine in the RRC changes. Two states are defined in the LTE: RRC_IDLE and RRC_CONNECTED. In the RRC_IDLE state, there is no connection between the terminal and the enodeb, which means that the terminal is not known by the E-UTRAN Access Network. In the RRC_CONNECTED state, there is an active connection between the terminal and the enodeb, which implies that a communication context is stored within the enodeb for this terminal. Both sides can exchange user data and or signaling messages over logical channels. Figure 4. RRC States In a real life example, it is very difficult to anticipate how many UEs are going into the cell, how long the UEs are going to stay there and when the UEs are moving away. This results in a string of unpredictable, unscheduled interrupts for the control plane. Intel s Out-of-Order architecture, Intel Hyper- Threading Technology and Intel Turbo Boost Technology handles this activity well, making IA a great choice for LTE Control Plane designs.
7 Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) CoreMark* EEMBC CoreMark* [6] is a benchmark released by the non-profit Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) that was designed specifically to test the functionality of a processor core. EEMBC CoreMark* can be used to test a processor s core functionality in terms of pipeline operation, memory sub system access and integer operations. EEMBC CoreMark* is not a real application, but is implemented to perform command workload in embedded applications such as matrix and link list manipulations, state machine operation, and cyclic redundancy check. Interpreting EEMBC CoreMark* Performance Data EEMBC CoreMark has established rules for running the benchmark and reporting the results. It supports both single and multiple instances test execution. At the end of the test CoreMark produces a single-number score. The score is divided by CPU speed in MHz to yield a CoreMark/MHz ratio. A higher ratio means better performance. In this paper, we used EEMBC CoreMark single instances tests to measure processor core performance improvement between Intel processor generations and run multiple instances tests for multi-core performance analysis. We ran our test using Red Hat* Enterprise Linux Server 6.1 Beta 32bit OS, kernel version el6.i686, and built the EEMBC CoreMark* binaries with Intel C++ composer XE 2011 sp The compiler flags used were O3 and processor specific flags. EEMBC CoreMark* Single Instance Test We ran one instance of EEMBC CoreMark* test on Intel processors from different generations and measured the CPU speed in MHZ using LMbench*. The EEMBC CoreMark* scores are divided by CPU frequency in MHz to obtain CoreMark/MHz ratio. Processors that we used: Previous Generation Intel Xeon Processor 5000 Series : Intel Xeon Processor L nd Generation Intel Xeon Processor E3 Series : Intel Xeon Processor E3-1125C 3 nd Generation Intel Xeon Processor E3 Series : Intel Xeon Processor E3-1275v2 7
8 In Figure 5, the EEMBC CoreMark*/MHz ratio shows how CPU core performance improved from one generation to another. Figure 5. Single Core Performance Between Intel CPU Generations Relative Ratio Cross CPU Generation EEMBC Coremark* Ratio Comparison 0.00 Gen1 Intel Processor Gen2 Intel Processor Gen3 Intel Processor EEMBC CoreMark* focuses mainly on testing processor core architecture performance such as pipeline operation, cache access and integer handling. Hence, CPUs from same generation will have same CoreMark/MHz ratio. To illustrate, we run single intense test on a series of 2 nd Generation Intel Core i7/5/3 processors and series of 3 nd Generation Intel Core i7/5/3 processors. Figure 6 and Figure 7 shows that the CoreMark/MHz ratios among CPUs from the same generations are identical.
9 Figure 6. 2 nd Generation Intel Core i7/5/3 Processors EEMBC CoreMark*/MHz Ratio Figure 7. 3 nd Generation Intel Core i7/5/3 Processors EEMBC CoreMark*/MHz Ratio EEMBC CoreMark*/MHz Ratio It s obtained by taking EEMBC CoreMark* score, divided by CPU frequency in MHz. It s worth taking note that the entire CPU family from the same generation will have identical CoreMark*/MHz Ratio. 9
10 EEMBC CoreMark* Multiple Instances Test In LTE segment, typical workload for control plane are flow management, signaling, higher level protocol handing and controlling task while data plane workloads focus on packet processing, packet forwarding. Control plane has more complicated processing requirement and parallelism is important to address the issue. Numbers of cores available on a platform determine parallelism capabilities of a platform. EEMBC Coremark* supports multiple instantiations and yields a single score which is useful for multi-core processor performance analysis. We run multiple instances of EEMBC CoreMark* on Intel Xeon Processor E3-1125C that has 4 cores and 8 threads. We set test to run at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 instances. Figure 8 shows EEMBC CoreMark/MHz ratio has improves as number of instances used increased. However, once the number of instances used for testing is equal to or larger than the maximum number of SMT threads supported, adding instances will not give a higher EEMBC CoreMark/MHz ratio. In Figure 8, we observe non-significant ratio improvement from test results of 8 threads compared to 16 threads. Figure 8. Multi-core Processor Performance Analysis Using EEMBC CoreMark*
11 Conclusion In the LTE segment, the typical workload for the control plane is flow management, signaling, higher level protocol handing and controlling tasks. Since the control plane has a complicated processing requirement, parallelism is important to handle the complex processing needs of the control plane. The number of cores available on a platform determines the parallelism capabilities of the platform. EEMBC CoreMark * benchmark scores obtained from running multiple instantiations or single instances are useful for multicore processor performance analysis in control plane applications; the benchmark can also measure core performance improvement across CPU generations.
