WSFD- IP Bearer Service SGSN The IP Bearer Service feature enables SGSN to support data
010100 transmission between mobile subscribers and a packet data
network (PDN) by using IP as the bearer protocol. IP bearer

WSFD- Mobility Management SGSN The Mobility Management (MM) feature is used to control the
010200 access of MSs to general packet radio service (GPRS) and
universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS)
networks and to track the current locations of them, such as

WSFD- Subscriber Migration SGSN Subscriber Migration in Subscriber Migration in MSC
110001 in MSC Pool Based on MSC Pool Based on Gs Pool Based on Gs enables
Gs users to issue a command to

WSFD- Iu-flex SGSN Iu-flex Iu-flex, termed "Intra-domain

WSFD- MME Pool MME MME Pool The MME Pool feature enables
110004 multiple MMEs in a pool to
simultaneously serve a radio
area (MME pool area). The
MMEs in a pool are connected
to all eNodeBs in the pool area.
These connections enable the
pooled MMEs to share
resources and service loads. An
eNodeB determines the MME
that a UE can access based on
the load sharing policy. This
requires that the eNodeB detect
the MME status. If an
unavailable MME is detected,
the eNodeB adjusts the load
sharing policy and assigns new
UEs to available MMEs in the
pool. The eNodeB must also
obtain the load weights of the
MMEs so as to select an MME
accordingly.
WSFD- MME Overload MME MME Overload Control MME Overload Control allows
110005 Control an overloaded MME to send an
Overload Start message to the
eNodeB, which instructs the
eNodeB to reject new
connection setup requests from
UEs. This reduces the
excessive signaling from
affecting the network. When the
MME is no longer overloaded,
the MME sends the eNodeB an
Overload Stop message,
instructing the eNodeB to
resume normal operation
towards this MME. MME
overload control can also be
manually started or stopped.
WSFD- Subscriber Migration MME Subscriber Migration in Subscriber Migration in MME
110006 in MME Pool MME Pool Pool enables carriers to adjust
the load on MMEs in an MME
pool by issuing a subscriber
migration command.
Subscribers can be transferred
from an overloaded MME or an

MMEs in the pool. Therefore,
load balancing can be
implemented in real time within

Direct Tunnel solution to reduce
both CAPEX and OPEX and
facilitate network expansion. In
the Direct Tunnel solution, a
single GTP-U tunnel between
the RNC and the GGSN is used
instead of the two user-plane

WSFD- Diameter Load SGSN/MME Diameter Load Sharing The Diameter Load Sharing
110121 Sharing Based on Based on Weight/Priority Based on Weight/Priority
Weight/Priority feature enables the USN9810

the Diameter route with the
highest priority in a route group.
If the highest priority route is
unavailable, the USN9810
selects the Diameter route with
the second highest priority.
Diameter routes with the same
priority are configured with
different weights for load
balancing.
WSFD- Default MSC over SGs MME Default MSC over SGs Default MSC over SGs and Sv
110122 and Sv and Sv is a feature that improves the
success rate of SRVCC and
CSFB services. Without this
feature, if the Sv interface-
based single radio voice call
continuity (SRVCC) is deployed
and some LACs have no
corresponding FQDNs on the
USN9810 or DNS server, the
USN9810 will be unable to
select a target MSC for these
LACs. The result will be an
SRVCC failure. With the Default
MSC over SGs and Sv feature,
the USN9810 assembles an
FQDN with the LAC whose
value is 0xFFFF to reinitiate a
domain name resolution
request to the DNS server and
selects the default MSC, which
increases the SRVCC success
rate.
Similarly, without the Default
if the SGs interface-based
circuit switched fallback (CSFB)
is deployed and some TAIs are
not configured with location
area identities (LAIs), the CSFB
service will fail. With the Default
the USN9810 maps the TAI
whose value is FFFFFFFFFF to
a specified LAI and then maps
the LAI to the default MSC. This
increases the CSFB success
rate.

110203 Based on Location Based on Location on Location feature enables the
USN9810 to use an access

UE access capability. The
USN9810 first adds the UE
access capability information

provide the recorded time

The HSS requests the SGSN

a UE are not interrupted when
the UE accessing voice and
data services in the LTE

Based on this feature, the
USN9810 can preferentially
select CSFB or VoLTE for a
voice service when both
solutions are available.
NOTE:
IMS is short for IP multimedia
subsystem, VoLTE for voice
over long term evolution, APN
for access point name, SRVCC
for single radio voice call
continuity, and CSFB for circuit
switched fallback.
WSFD- Voice Service MME Voice Service Information The Voice Service Information
110753-3 Information Reporting Reporting Reporting feature provides call
history records (CHRs) of all
voice services initiated or
performed on the LTE network.
The CHRs contain information
about voice service procedures,
such as the start time of a

UE location, and service failure
cause value. Carriers can use
the information recorded in
CHRs to quickly diagnose
service faults or analyze service
quality with the aim of improving
service quality.

110754-1 system, the multi-IMSI function
allows a mobile station
international ISDN number

multiple UMTS subscriber
identity modules (USIMs). The
USIMs individually correlate
with a unique international

information after it receives an
HSS-forwarded request initiated
by the IMS for the location
information of a UE performing
a VoLTE service. Based on the
UE location information, the
IMS determines location-based
policies such as differentiated
charging policies, roaming
policies, and push policies. The
UE location information
includes the E-UTRAN cell
global identifier (ECGI) and
tracking area identity (TAI). This
information is stored on the
MME or obtained by the MME

ID (SPID) is used to control the
priorities of camping and
handover frequency bands. The
USN9810 uses RAT/Frequency

WSFD- Service Guarantee for MME Service Guarantee for Carriers may deploy dedicated
110523 High-Mobility User High-Mobility User LTE networks along high-speed
railways to provide satisfactory
service experience for high-

on the USN9810 to ensure that
the dedicated networks are
used only by high-mobility UEs
on high-speed trains and to
improve service experience of
the UEs.
In the area covered
by such a dedicated
network, the
USN9810
determines whether
a UE was last
served by the
dedicated network
during a TAU
procedure according
to the last visited TA
of the UE. If the UE
accesses the public
network after the
TAU procedure, the
USN9810 instructs
the UE to re-access
the dedicated
network to
guarantee the
service experience
of the UE.
In low-speed areas
for high-speed trains
with a large number
of UEs, the
USN9810
determines whether
public-network UEs
use dedicated
