13 S103 Interface Specification

29.2763GPP3GPP Evolved Packet System (EPS)Optimized handover procedures and protocols between E-UTRAN access and cdma2000 HRPD AccessRelease 17Stage 3TS

13.1 Introduction

The S103 interface is defined between the Serving GW and HSGW and supports the forwarding of DL data during mobility from E-UTRAN to HRPD access networks. Signalling procedures on the S101 interface, documented in 3GPP TS 23.402 [2], are used to set up tunnels on the S103 user plane interface.

13.2 S103 Interface

The S103 interface protocol stack and signalling requirements are specified in 3GPP TS 23.402 [2]. The S103 interface shall use Generic Routing Encapsulation as specified in IETF RFC 2784 [4] including the Key and Sequence Number Extensions to GRE in IETF RFC 2890 [5]. The Key Field value of each GRE packet header shall uniquely identify the UE-PDN connection.
