2.1.3 Functions of IPLOOK’s EPC+IMS solution

 It is a solution for national communication. Users utilize the wireless

terminals to connect the core network. The EPC provides authentication,

identification and billing for different application as well as high-speed

forward and traffic diversion.

As shown in the Figure 2.1.2-1, IPLOOK provides MME /HSS

/SGW /PGW /PCRF /IMS to implement the EPC. Charging services are

provided by CG and BOSS which come from third-party company. The

project has had 400+ HUAWEI eNodeBs and 150+ ZTE Macro eNodeBs

accessed IPLOOK 4G core network. More than 1,000,000 subscribers in 8

cities are provided 4G wireless services.

 As shown in the figure 2.1.2-2, IPLOOK’s redundancy scheme is

characterized by its effectiveness. When the master MME goes down, the

base station automatically connects to the backup MME, and the backup

MME takes over the master MME to work. When the master GW goes

down, the MME chooses back up XGW for online user migration and new

user on-line attachment. During the master GW failure, two XGWs carry the

service in parallel. During any XGW failure, and the other XGW can take

over the broken XGW’s service with the collaboration of the static routing

server to ensure that all users network. Iplook EPC has been put into

operation for more than 2 years with 0 failure and gained its high

www.iplook.com
Guangzhou IPLOOK Networks Co., Ltd

signaling message configuration, mainly including the UE IP address, S1U eNB

TEID, S1U SGW TEID etc.

For the uplink data flow, it will analyze the destination IP, and the gateway

configuration information is used to route the data packet. The packet which

needs to access the public network directly will be transparently transmitted to

the SGW. Or the GTP header should be removed and forwarded to the local

network.

For the downlink data flow, the data of the SGW is directly transparently

transmitted to the base station, while the data packet from the local network is

encapsulated in the GTP header and forwarded to the base station according

to the routing information.
