Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS); LTE; Architecture enhancements for non-3GPP accesses (V14.5.0; 3GPP TS 23.402 version 14.5.0 Release 14)
This document specifies the stage 2 service description for providing IP connectivity using non-3GPP accesses to the Evolved 3GPP Packet Switched domain. In addition@ for E-UTRAN and non-3GPP accesses@ the specification describes the Evolved 3GPP PS Domain where the protocols between its Core Network elements are IETF-based. ITU-T Recommendation I.130 [2] describes a three-stage method for characterisation of telecommunication services@ and ITU-T Recommendation Q.65 [3] defines stage 2 of the method. The specification covers both roaming and non-roaming scenarios and covers all aspects@ including mobility between 3GPP and non 3GPP accesses@ policy control and charging@ and authentication@ related to the usage of non-3GPP accesses. TS 23.401 [4] covers architecture aspects common to the Evolved 3GPP Packet Switched domain. The procedures defined in the present document for WLAN access selection and PLMN selection replace the corresponding I-WLAN procedures specified in TS 23.234 [5].
