eHRPD, S101 signaling is not transmitted on
the link between the source radio access
network (RAN) and the target RAN. After
leaving the source RAN, the UE performs
radio attachment on the target RAN and is
handed off to eHRPD according to the Proxy
Mobile Internet Protocol (PMIP), ensuring
continuity of ongoing services.

8.2 Principles of eHRPD and LTE Interworking Phase I

This section describes the principles of the eHRPD and LTE interworking phase I feature.
Architecture for Non-Optimized eHRPD and LTE Interworking Phase I

Figure 8-1 shows the architecture for non-optimized eHRPD and LTE interworking phase I.

Figure 8-1 Architecture for non-optimized eHRPD and LTE interworking phase I
Non-optimized eHRPD and LTE interworking phase I involves the Evolved High Rate Packet
Data (eHRPD), Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), and Evolved
Packet Core (EPC).
l eHRPD
– AN AAA: provides access authentication for the AN.
– 3GPP2 AAA Proxy: provides EAP AKA service authentication for the HSGW.
– HSGW: evolves from the PDSN and serving as the access gateway in eHRPD networks.
– eAN/PCF: provides the AN and packet control function (PCF) for eHRPD networks.
– HRPD BTS: transmits or receives data over the air interface in eHRPD network.
l EPC
– PDN gateway: serves as the access gateway in an EPC network and provides
connections to the same EPC network for various access networks, such as the E-
UTRAN and eHRPD networks.
– PCRF: provides service policies and charging function.
– HSS: stores subscription information of UEs.
– 3GPP AAA services: enables eHRPD services to access the 3GPP AAA and integrates
with the 3GPP2 AAA.
l E-UTRAN
– eNodeB: transmits and receives signaling and traffic over the air interface in LTE.
– MME: manages UE mobility, such as initial access and UE context.
– ServingGateway: serves as the access gateway in LTE networks for accessing eNB
services.

eHRPD-EPC Signaling Flow

Figure 8-2 shows the eHRPD-EPC signaling flow.
Figure 8-2 eHRPD-EPC signaling flow
1. The UE and eAN initiate eHRPD session establishment successfully.

2. (Optional, A12 access authentication) The UE and eAN perform device level
authentication.
3. The eAN updates the ANID used by the UE through location update if the eAN supports
location updates.
4. The PCF sends an A11-Registration Request message to the HSGW to set up the main A10
connection with SO being 59, and optionally set up the auxiliary connection with SO being

72. After the HSGW verifies the A11-Registration Request message, it accepts the
connection setup request by replying with an A11-Registration Reply message.
5. The UE and HSGW perform LCP negotiation, using EAP as the authentication protocol.
6. The authentication procedures are initiated and performed. The authentication involves the
UE, HSGW, 3GPP2 AAA, and 3GPP AAA server. In addition, the P-GW address is
determined at this point, and the HSS/AAA sends subscription data to the HSGW.
7. The UE sends a VSNCP Configure-Request message over the main service connection.
The information in the message includes the PDN-ID, PDN Type, APN, PDN Address,
Protocol Configuration Options, and Attach Type.
8. The HSGW and PCRF initiate the Gateway Control Session Establishment procedure.
9. The HSGW sends a Proxy Binding Update message to the P-GW to update the registration.
10. The P-GW interacts with the PCRF to obtain QoS policy parameters.
11. The P-GW informs the 3GPP AAA server of its address contained in the Profile of the UE.
Then, the 3GPP AAA server updates the P-GW address.
12. The P-GW responds with a PMIP Binging Acknowledgement message to the HSGW.
13. The HSGW sends a VSNCP Config-ACK message to the UE through the main A10
connection.
14. The HSGW sends a VSNCP Config-Req message to complete the procedures defined in
the RFC 3772 protocol.
15. The UE responds with a VSNCP Config-ACK message.
16. (Optional) If the UE has requested allocation of deferred IP addresses in Step 7, the HSGW
allocates the IP addresses through the DHCP after the PDN connection is set up.
17. Based on the information stored at the UE or obtained from the network, the UE starts to
create the required auxiliary connections for the QoS flow of a PDN.
Non-Optimized Active Handoff from LTE to eHRPD

Figure 8-3 shows the non-optimized active handoff from LTE to eHRPD.

Figure 8-3 Non-optimized active handoff from LTE to eHRPD
1. The UE camps on the LTE network and enters the active state.
2. The UE gradually leaves the LTE coverage area and detects that the LTE signal quality is
lower than its threshold.
3. The UE and eNB initiate pilot measurement.
4. The eNB makes a handoff decision based on the measurement report from the UE. If the
signal strength of the LTE serving cell is lower than its threshold whereas the signal strength
of the eHRPD cell is higher than the threshold, the eNB determines that the UE needs to
be handed off to the eHRPD network.
5. The UE leaves the LTE network and hands off to the eHRPD network.
6. The UE updates broadcast messages.

7. (Optional) The UE sets up an eHRPD session if it does not set up a session in the eAN.
8. The UE triggers an air interface connection.
9. The PCF sends the A11-Registration Request message to set up an A10 connection. The
HSGW responds with a A11-Registration Reply message.
10. The HSGW obtains the UE data from the HSS/AAA, including the in-use P-GW IP address.
12. The HSGW and PCRF initiate the Gateway Control Session Establishment procedure.
14. The P-GW interacts with the PCRF to obtain parameters related to the QoS policy.
16. The UE sends a VSNCP Configure-Ack message to the HSGW. Then, the HSGW sends
the VSNCP Config Complete message.
17. Repeat Step 11 through Step 16 until all PDN connections are set up.
Non-Optimized Idle Reselection from LTE to eHRPD

Figure 8-4 shows the process of non-optimized idle reselection from LTE to eHRPD.

Figure 8-4 Non-optimized idle reselection from LTE to eHRPD
1. The UE camps on the LTE network and enters the idle state.
2. The UE receives the HRPD neighboring-cell list and reselection thresholds broadcast by
the LTE.

8.3.2 Modifying eHRPD and LTE Interworking Phase I

This section describes how to modify the eHRPD and LTE interworking phase I feature.
Procedure
Step 1 Modify the HSGW parameters.
Run the MOD HSGW command to modify the HSGW parameters.
Table 8-6 lists the HSGW parameters.
Table 8-6 HSGW parameters
ID Name Description
HSGWSCRKEY Secret Key Secret key for HSGW data encryption and
decryption, used for HSGW interconnection. The
PCF and the HSGW must be configured with the
same key.
HSGWSPI Security According to this parameter, you can find the

Parameter Index shared secret key in use. The key at the PCF must
be consistent with that at the HSGW.
CIPHALGM Cipher Algorithm Algorithm mode for encrypting the secret key.
Mode Generally, the default value Prefix plus Suffix is
used.
CIPHALG Cipher Algorithm Algorithm for encrypting the secret key. Generally,
the default value MD5 is used.

ID Name Description
RPM Retransmit Used to enhance network security. For example,

Protection Mode adding time stamps to retransmitted data can
reduce the likelihood of users' receiving captured
and replaced data. Generally, the default value
Time Stamp is used.
HSGWPINGEN Ping Enabled When this parameter is set to Yes, the PCF
determines whether the HSGW is available based
on the pinging result. If the HSGW cannot be
pinged, the pinging result is invalid. In this case,
the parameter value must be changed to No.
HSGWTMFLAG HSGW flow If the HSGW supports flow control, set this
control parameter to On. As a result, when congestion
occurs at the PCF, the PCF sends a congestion
indication to the HSGW to stop the HSGW from
sending downlink messages. After the congestion
is countered, the PCF sends a congestion recovery
indication to the PDSN.
HSGWIFSEQN Whether the If the GRE packet sent or received by the HSGW
sequence number carries a serial number (obtained from the peer
is used vendor during serial number mapping), set the
switch to On; if the GRE packet sent or received
by the HSGW does not carry any serial number, set
the switch to Off.
HSGWGRPID HSGW Group Group number of an HSGW. HSGWs are divided

Identity into groups for ease of selection and management.
The priorities of the HSGWs in the same group
must be the same.
HSGWPRI Selection priority HSGW with the highest priority will be selected
of HSGW first.
SUPPORTPDSN Whether Determines whether support PDSN.

Compatibly
PDSN
