Multi Operator Core Network with shared spectrum

RAN is shared between multiple MNOs


Each MNO manages its own EPC
2 Types of services in LTE
Guaranteed Bit Rate
non-GBR

Problematic :
Fairness between MNO
Capacity Reservation of each MNO for
GBR Services
non-GBR Services

Multi Operator Core Network with shared spectrum


GBR Services Through Admission Control

Fully splitted
GBR eRAB initiation within the reserved capacity
Configuration with less performance

TDF Network Sharing Implementation

Based on the dynamic allocation of Physical


Resource Block

Each MNO can use the total amount of PRBs


In case of congestion, each MNO has its
percentage of PRB Reserved

LTE QoS

LTE QoS
QCI Table

Building Differentiated QoS flows for each MNO

MOCN Configuration
MNO A: 70 %
MNO B: 30%

QoS Configuration per MNO


UE A, UE B2 and UE B3 with QCI 9 (BE)
UE B1 with QCI 3 (Gold Subs)

Results in case of congestion


UE A uses 70 % of PRB
UEs from MNO B use 30 % of PRB
UE B1 : Video Stream without degradation
UE B2 : Video Stream Degradation
UE B3 ; Download Degradation

Home User entering LTE MOCN Cell

Each Cell broadcasts Operators PLMN IDs


Through SIB

UE decodes broadcast message and selects


its HPLMN

UE informs the e-UTRAN of the selected


PLMN-id

The Shared eNodeB routes the UE to the CN


according to the selected PLMN-id

Handover User entering LTE MOCN Cell

Serving PLMN Id remains unchanged after X2-based Handover

For S1-based Handover or inter RAT Handover, the eNodeB will know the serving CN according to
MME Handover Request Message
