LTE-Uu
Air interface of EUTRAN
Based on OFDMA in downlink and
SC-FDMA in uplink
FDD and TDD duplex methods
Scalable bandwidth: from 1.4 up to
20 MHz
Data rates up to 100 Mbps (DL),
50Mbps (UL)
X2
Inter eNB interface
Handover coordination without
involving the EPC
X2AP: signaling Application protocol
During HO, Source eNB forward
downlink packets buffered or arriving
from the serving gateway to the
target eNB.
This will avoid loss of packets
during inter-eNB handover.
S1-MME
Control interface between eNB and
MME
MME and UE will exchange NAS
signaling via eNB through this
interface.
E.g.: if a UE performs a tracking
area update the TRACKING AREA
UPDATE REQUEST message will be
sent from UE to eNB and the eNB
will forward the message via S1MME to the MME.

User Plane interface between eNB and

It is a pure user data interface
Which Serving GW a users SAE bearer
will have to use is signaled from the
MME of this user.

S10
Interface between different MMEs
Used during inter-MME tracking
area updates (TAU) and handovers
Inter-MME TAU: The new MME can
contact the old MME, to retrieve
data about identity (IMSI), security
information (security context,
authentication vectors) and active
SAE bearers (PDN gateways to
contact, QoS, etc.)
Obviously S10 is a pure signaling
interface, no user data runs on it.
TS 29.272
HSS
S6a
Interface between the MME and
the HSS
The MME uses it to retrieve
subscription and authentication
information from HSS
(handover/tracking area
restrictions, external PDN allowed,
QoS, etc.) during attaches and
updates
The HSS can during these
procedures also store the users
current MME address in its
database.

Gxc
Interface between the S-GW and
the PCRF (Policy and Charging Rule
Function)
It is only needed in case the S5/S8
interface is based on PMIP (IETF
candidate)
This will help S-GW to map data
between IP service flows in S5/S8
and GTP tunnels in the S1-U
interface, controlled by PCRF
IMS/PDN
P-GW
Gx (S7)
Interface between the PDN GW and
the PCRF
It allows:
PCRF to setup of a SAE bearer with
appropriate QoS
PDN GW to request for the QoS of an
SAE bearer to setup from PCRF
to indicate EPC status changes to the
PCRF to apply a new policy rule.

It is standardized in 3GPP TS 29.215: Policy and Charging

S12
Interfaces between EPC and 3G Radio access network
It would allow inter-system changes between LTE and 3G
The S12 is the user plane interface used for tunneling user
data directly between the Serving GW and the RNC.
This would allow to forward packet data from 3G RAN to
Serving GW to PDN GW.
It is based on the Gn interface between the SGSN and the
GGSN and therefore uses the GTP-U protocol.
