ABSTRACT:

In Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) provides IP connection between the mobile telecommunications network and the external packet data networks (e.g., Internet). Specifically, the GGSN exercises session management to transfer the user packets between the mobile stations and the external data networks. In this talk, we focus on the GGSN functions for IP connection including the Access Point Name processing, IP address allocation, tunneling technologies and Quality of Service management. Based on our experience as a mobile operator, we give several examples to show how these functions can be actually implemented in a commercial mobile network.
