3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [1].
Routing filter: A set of packet flow IP header parameter values/ranges used to identify IP flows for routing purposes.
Routing access type: Type of access network (e.g. 3GPP or WLAN) over which to route a set of IP flows of a PDN connection.
Routing Rule (RR): A set of information enabling the association of a routing filter with a routing access type.
NBIFOM: IP Flow Mobility based on network mobility protocols (GTP or PMIP).
UE-initiated NBIFOM: IP Flow Mobility based on network mobility protocols (GTP and PMIP) where the UE initiates the IP flow mobility.
Network-initiated NBIFOM: IP Flow Mobility based on network mobility protocols (GTP and PMIP) where the network initiates the IP flow mobility.
Multi-access PDN connection: A PDN connection whose traffic can be routed over either a 3GPP access or a WLAN access or both. Each IP flow is routed at any single time only over one access.
