Implementing IP and Ethernet on the 4G Mobile Network

Delves into the 4G mobile network that allows an IP packet transmitted by a mobile to be transported to its gateway, reciprocally using the following networks: MPLS-VPN, VPLS and OTN. The mechanisms for the implementation of quality of service (QoS) on the EPS, IP, Ethernet and MPLS networks are presented, as is the security for the LTE radio interface, the NAS messages and the links of the transport (IPSec). In addition, readers will find discussions of the aspects relating to the synchronization of the eNB entities, including SyncE and IEEE 1588 mechanisms.

Highlights

- Presents the functional architectures of the 4G mobile network, MPLS-VPN, VPLS and OTN

- Provides mapping of the marks of 4G mobile network (QCI, ARP), IP (DSCP), Ethernet (PCP) and MPLS (EXP)

- Includes security in 4G mobile network and IP (IPSec)

- Covers radio base station synchronization with SyncE
