LTE Radio Protocol Architecture(UP和CP的区别)

LTE Radio Protocol Architecture

The radio protocol architecture for LTE can be separated into control plane architecture and user plane architecture as shown below:

LTE Radio Protocol Architecture

At user plane side, the application creates data packets that are processed by protocols such as TCP, UDP and IP, while in the control plane, the radio resource control (RRC) protocol writes the signalling messages that are exchanged between the base station and the mobile. In both cases, the information is processed by the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), the radio link control (RLC) protocol and the medium access control (MAC) protocol, before being passed to the physical layer for transmission.

User Plane

The user plane protocol stack between the e-Node B and UE consists of the following sub-layers:

  • PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol)

  • RLC (radio Link Control)

  • Medium Access Control (MAC)

On the user plane, packets in the core network (EPC) are encapsulated in a specific EPC protocol and tunneled between the P-GW and the eNodeB. Different tunneling protocols are used depending on the interface. GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is used on the S1 interface between the eNodeB and S-GW and on the S5/S8 interface between the S-GW and P-GW.

LTE User Plane

Packets received by a layer are called Service Data Unit (SDU) while the packet output of a layer is referred to by Protocol Data Unit (PDU) and IP packets at user plane flow from top to bottom layers.

Control Plane

The control plane includes additionally the Radio Resource Control layer (RRC) which is responsible for configuring the lower layers.

The Control Plane handles radio-specific functionality which depends on the state of the user equipment which includes two states: idle or connected.

Mode Description
Idle The user equipment camps on a cell after a cell selection or reselection process where factors like radio link quality, cell status and radio access technology are considered. The UE also monitors a paging channel to detect incoming calls and acquire system information. In this mode, control plane protocols include cell selection and reselection procedures.
Connected The UE supplies the E-UTRAN with downlink channel quality and neighbour cell information to enable the E-UTRAN to select the most suitable cell for the UE. In this case, control plane protocol includes the Radio Link Control (RRC) protocol.

The protocol stack for the control plane between the UE and MME is shown below. The grey region of the stack indicates the access stratum (AS) protocols. The lower layers perform the same functions as for the user plane with the exception that there is no header compression function for the control plane.

这是ULP2.0协议,是SUPL2.0的技术规范。学习手机移动定位、LBS、SUPL的朋友可以阅读。 Location services based on the location of mobile devices are becoming increasingly widespread. SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) employs user plane data bearers for transferring location information (e.g GPS assistance) and for carrying positioning technology-related protocols between a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) and the network. SUPL is considered to be an effective way of transferring location information required for computing the target SET’s location. To serve a location service to a client, considerable signaling and position information are transferred between actors such as a SET and a location server. Currently, assisted-GPS (A-GPS) provides more accurate position of a SET than other available standardized positioning technologies. However, A-GPS over control plane requires modifications to existing network elements, and interfaces (for signaling procedures between the terminal and the network). SUPL needs only an IP capable network and requires minimum modification to the network, and this is an efficient solution that can be deployed rapidly. SUPL utilizes existing standards where available and possible, and SUPL should be extensible to enabling more positioning technologies as the need arises so that they utilize the same mechanism. In the initial phase, SUPL 1.0 provides functionality of A-GPS with minimum changes of current network elements. SUPL 2.0 introduces the A-GNSS concept to allow additional Navigation Satellite System assisted positioning technology to be utilized, e.g. A-Galileo.
