26、hanges have been incorporated in the document. Introduction As a new generation AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) protocol, Diameter has been used widely and will be used more and more widely in 3GPP. Since several 3GPP WGs are developing Diameter based interfaces, e.g. CT3, CT4, et

27、c, so in order to ensure correctness and consistency of using Diameter within all 3GPP WGs, a common set of principles, rules and recommendations across 3GPP WGs are necessary to be given clearly and followed. The present is to describe existing status of Diameter usage within 3GPP, find existing in

28、consistency of rules used for Diameter based interfaces which were specified in 3GPP and propose common recommendations of using Diameter to all 3GPP WGs to follow. With more and more Diameter deployment, an inter-operator Diameter signalling network infrastructure will become necessary, so the pres

29、ent document will also study Diameter inter-operator considerations with brief guidelines on how to deploy Stage 3“. 6 IETF RFC 4072 (August 2005): “Diameter Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Application“. 7 3GPP TS 32.299: “Diameter charging applications “. 8 3GPP TS 29.229: “Cx and Dx inter

SAE System Architecture Evolution SDO Standard Development Organization 4 The status of Diameter in 3GPP 4.1 General This subclause describes current status of Diameter usage before Release 8 and summarizes some problems of using Diameter prot

37、ocol to satisfy 3GPP-specific requirements in the past. This subclause is a basis for further discussion to give proposed rules in subclause 5. 4.2 Diameter-based applications before Release 8 Diameter Base Protocol (see IETF RFC 3588 2) provides a set of messages and parameters to support AAA-relat

38、ed functionality with built-in protocol management mechanism, e.g. peer discovery, message routing, error handling, etc. Based on Diameter Base Protocol, IETF also defines many Diameter applications to support more specific requirements in different scenarios, e.g. NASREQ (see IETF RFC 4284 3), Diam

39、eter Credit Control (see IETF RFC 4006 4), etc. ETSI ETSI TR 129 909 V14.0.0 (2017-04)83GPP TR 29.909 version 14.0.0 Release 14Another important feature of Diameter Base Protocol 2 is that it also provides a set of principles and rules for extensibility to support more functionality in the future. T

40、hat allows other SDOs like 3GPP to define more specific applications, messages, parameters (AVPs) and values to fulfil SDO-specific requirements. Because of powerful functions and good extensibility, since Release 5, Diameter has been used widely in 3GPP systems, e.g. IMS, GBA, Interworking WLAN, Ch

41、arging systems, PCC, etc. The Diameter protocol is designed to be extensible, using several mechanisms, including defining new AVP values, creating new AVPs, creating new Diameter applications, in addition to reuse of existing AVP values, AVPs and Diameter applications (see IETF RFC 3588 2 for more

42、details). Based on different principles and requirements, 3GPP WGs, i.e. CT3, CT4 and SA5, develop their Diameter-based interfaces with different approach. Some interfaces are based on existing IETF-defined Diameter applications, for example Wa interface (see 3GPP TS 29.234 5) is based on Diameter b

43、ase protocol (IETF RFC 3588 2), NASREQ (IETF RFC 4005 3) and Diameter EAP application (IETF RFC 4072 6). Some interfaces are based on existing IETF-defined Diameter applications with 3PPP-specific AVPs/Values, for example Ro interfaces (see 3GPP TS 32.299 7) is based on Diameter Credit-Control Appli

44、cation (IETF RFC 4006 4) with some new 3GPP-specific AVPs. And some interfaces are new 3GPP-specific Diameter applications, e.g. Cx interface specified in 3GPP TS 29.229 8 which includes 3GPP-specific commands, AVP codes and results codes. 3GPP TS 29.230 9 serves as a placeholder for all 3GPP-specif

45、ic Diameter applications, commands, AVP codes and result codes. 4.3 Problem description During developing Diameter based interfaces, some inconsistent rules are found about how to using Diameter protocol to satisfy 3GPP-specific requirements in different 3GPP WGs. This subclause describes some examp

46、les of this issue. Wx interface, between a 3GPP AAA Server and a HSS, is specified in 3GPP TS 29.234 5 by CT4. A new application ID is allocated to it as some new AVPs with “M“ bit set are added to existing commands, e.g. 3GPP-AAA-Server-Name AVP, WLAN-User-Data AVP, etc. Wm interface, between a PDG

47、 and a 3GPP AAA Server/Proxy, is specified in 3GPP TS 29.234 5 by CT4. For example, the 3GPP-WLAN-APN-Id AVP, with “M“ bit set (see table 10.1.1 in section 10.1, 3GPP TS 29.234 5), is a 3GPP-defined AVP and added to AAR command for authorization purpose, but no new application is applied for Wm inte

48、rface. Gmb interface, between a GGSN and a BM-SC, is specified in 3GPP TS 29.061 10 by CT3. A new application ID is allocated to it as some new AVPs with “M“ bit set are added to existing commands, e.g. TMGI AVP, Required-MBMS-Bearer-Capabilities AVP, etc. So it is seen that cross CT WGs there are s

49、ome inconsistent principles or rules of usage of application IDs and 3GPP-speific AVPs with “M“ bit set. There is another 3GPP-specific issue when Diameter is used in 3GPP, i.e. so-called cross-release issue. New AVPs may be added to the same interface (Diameter Application) in different Releases. If all these AVPs are “M“ bit set and added to the same Diameter Application (the same Application ID), inter-operability may occur when equipments following different releases are connected. For the issue, diff
