Overview
Describes 3GPP Release-8 Evolved Packet System and Evolved Packet Core architectures. Explains how IPv6 is supported in the architecture and the different types of bearers. Explains some of the basic concepts and terminology of 3GPP IP access. Mostly about what is already there not about all possible enhancements..

PDN Connection
A PDN Connection is an association between an UE and a PDN, represented by one IPv4 address and/or one /64 IPv6 prefix A PDN is identified by an APN and a PDN is accessed via a PDN-GW A PDN is responsible for the IP address/prefix management. On an UE a PDN Connection is equivalent (or visible to an IP stack) as a virtual network interface. Pre-Release-8 equivalent for a PDN Connection is the PDP Context (used in GPRS).
APN points to a specific PDN-GW and names the PDN..

PDN
UE sees the PDN Connection as an interface with an address/prefix that belongs to the PDN..
UE would just request an APN e.g. for internet or request nothing.. MME either figures out the default APN for the UE/subscriber.. or ..MME would substitute a full domain name of the APN received from the UE MME would then:
Query a NAPTR for the domain Select the NAPTR which matches the required protocols and such.. Query A/AAAA for both SGW and PDN-GW Push the selected PDN-GW address to selected PGW

Address Management
IPv4 Address Configuration.
Two methods: DHCPv4 or within the EPS bearer setup signaling (the common way) DHCP is optional on both the UE and the P-GW
IPv4v6 bearer.
The bearer is configured with both IPv4 address and one /64 prefix. New bearer type since Release-8. The link is dual-stack. V4v6 bearer type is the default in Rel-8 and beyond Rel 9 has also introduced the DS PDP context type for UTRAN and EDGE
