Access types:
Basics:
The PDN gateway is a mobility anchor for non-3GPP access
and supports PMIPv6 Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) functions
The serving gateway (in the case of PMIPv6 S5/S8) supports
mobile access gateway (MAG) functions
The Access Network (AN) - HRPD Serving Gateway (HSGW)
or Evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) - supports PMIPv6
(RFC 5123)
Other options such as client MIP, dual-stack MIP and others
are supported in TS 23.402
S101 and S103 can optimize the handoff from LTE to HRPD
with no packet loss and quicker handoff completion

Policy rule
- Applies a lter (TFT) to map SDFs to EPS bearers
- Provides charging instructions
Extremely exible model
- Dynamic policy control
- Policy push: User equipment <> application signaling determines which SDFs
to use and what policy rule to install using the PCRF on the PDN gateway
- Policy pull: The gateway detects an event which triggers notication to the
PCRF to download a policy rule
- Pre-dened policy rules
- Roaming support, other AN support
Charging functions in PCRF
- Charging correlation: binds uplink trafc (per SDF) to IMS signaling layer
(useful for volume metering, for example)

SGi: the interface into the IP PDN. This is where the IP visibility into the

S-GW
S5: a signaling interface for establishing bearers between the serving gateway
and the PDN gateway or between serving gateways, for serving gateway
changes (GTPv2). It also supports the user plane for bearers (GTPv1).
Note there is a PMIPv6 version of the S5.
