 Roaming

 Roaming is an important functionality, where

operators share their networks with each other’s
subscribers.

 Typically roaming happens between operators

serving different areas, such as different countries,
since this does not cause conflicts in the competition
between the operators.

 The words Home and Visited are used as prefixes to

many other architectural terms to describe where
the subscriber originates from and where it roams to
respectively

 Inter Working- 3GPP/Non 3GPP

 Inter-working with non-3GPP ANs was one of the key

design goals for SAE

 The non-3GPP Inter-working System Architecture

includes a set of solutions in two categories:

• Generic and Loose inter-working solutions

• Specific and Tighter inter-working solution like one

selected access network(AN),the cdma2000®
HRPD(High Rate Packet Data)
Inter-working with CDMA
Inter-working with Other Access
