Internet working

objective &
requirements
 WLAN
• A wireless LAN is a wireless
computer network that links
two or more devices using
wireless communication to
form a local area network
within a limited area such as a
home, school, computer
laboratory, campus, or office
building.
 3GPP (WWAN):
• Well-established voice
support,wide coverage.
• The integration of 3G wireless and
WLANs is highly significant.
• 3G partnership project (3GPP) has
specified an internetworking
architecture.
Objective
• One of the principal objectives of interworking is to
allow independent evolution of 3GPP (WWAN) and
WLAN standards.
• The extent of interdependence between these
standards should be minimized or localized at the
point of interconnection.
Requirements
• Common billing and customer care
• 3GPP-based access control and charging
• Access to 3GPP-based packet switched services
• Service continuity
• Access to 3GPP circuit-switched services
1) Common billing and customer care

• To provide common bill for both WWAN and WLAN

users.
• To provide the customer care for those subscribers
2) 3GPP-based access control & charging

• This this request AAA subscribers in the WLAN to

be based on the same procedures used in the
3GPP data network
• A mobile subscriber can also use WLAN services by
using their identity module to access WLAN
services
3) Access to 3GPP-based packet switched
services
• To provide the 3GPP data services to the users who are
the subscribers in WLAN environment.
• It means a mobile subscriber should be able to access
3GPP data services through the WLAN access Network.
• The user is allowed Access to the same 3GPP data
services over both the 3GPP and WLAN Access
networks
4) Service continuity

• The goal is to allow seamless service continuity across

the 3GPP and WLAN systems.
• It means that user section doing mobility across these
networks should not only continue
• It should not have noticeable service change in terms
of quality and disruption
5) Access to 3GPP circuit-switched services

• The goal of this requirement is to allow the 3GPP

operator to offer access to circuit-switched services
such as voice calls from the WLANs
• Seamless service continuity is a must for these
services.
