5.7.1 Description

22.2203GPPRelease 17Service requirements for Home Node B (HNB) and Home eNode B (HeNB)TS

Local IP Access provides access for IP capable UEs connected via a H(e)NB (i.e. using H(e)NB radio access) to other IP capable entities in the same residential/enterprise IP network. Data traffic for Local IP Access is expected to not traverse the mobile operator’s network except mobile operator network components in the residential/enterprise premises. Signaling traffic will continue to traverse the mobile operator network. The residential/enterprise IP network itself and the entities within that network are not within the scope of 3GPP standardisation.

NOTE: It is not precluded that a small amount of data traffic for Local IP Access (e.g. user packets that trigger paging) be forwarded via the mobile operator’s network, provided there is a trust relationship between the H(e)NB hosting party and the mobile operator.
