ehrpd What, Why, and When?
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 6
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 7
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. 8
When Will ehrpd Be Here? LTE Deployment Timetable 2008: Standards converging on completion 2010: ehrpd deployment 2010: Initial deployments of data only devices 2015: Full-scale global deployment 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 2009: Advanced trials & test of pre-commercial devices 2011: First handset-like devices 9

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) 18
ehrpd s Impact on the Mobile Device
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 20
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 21
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 22
Verifying that ehrpd works
ehrpd-specific Testing Conformance 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 24
ehrpd-specific Testing Conformance 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 25
