34、 GW X2 GateWay 4 General aspects 4.1 Introduction The interface allowing to interconnect eNBs with each other is referred to as the X2 interface. 4.2 X2 interface general principles The general principles for the specification of the X2 interface are as follows: - the X2 interface should be open; -

35、the X2 interface shall support the exchange of signalling information between two eNBs, in addition the interface shall support the forwarding of PDUs to the respective tunnel endpoints; - from a logical standpoint, the X2 is a point-to-point interface between two eNBs within the E-UTRAN. A point-to

36、-point logical interface should be feasible even in the absence of a physical direct connection between the two eNBs. 4.3 X2 interface specification objectives 4.3.1 General The X2 interface specifications shall facilitate the following: - inter-connection of eNBs supplied by different manufacturers

37、; - support of continuation between eNBs of the E-UTRAN services offered via the S1 interface; - separation of X2 interface Radio Network functionality and Transport Network functionality to facilitate introduction of future technology. 4.3.2 Addressing of eNBs over the X2 interface - 4.4 X2 interfa

38、ce capabilities 4.4.1 Radio application related signalling The X2 interface provides capability to support radio interface mobility and Dual Connectivity between eNBs, of Ues having a connection with E-UTRAN.

39、nels 4.5 X2 interface characteristics 4.5.1 Uses of SCTP 4.5.1.1 General The SCTP (IETF RFC 4960 7) is used to support the exchange of X2 Application Protocol (X2AP) signalling messages between two eNBs A single SCTP association per X2-C interface instance shall be used, except when the X2 GW is use

40、d. Only when the X2 GW is used to connect one eNB to one or more specific eNB(s), all X2-C interface instances from that eNB to the relevant eNB(s) are carried over the same SCTP association from that eNB to the X2 GW, and over separate SCTP association(s) from the X2 GW to the relevant eNB(s). For

41、X2-C interface instance(s) over one SCTP association one pair of stream identifiers shall be used for X2-C common procedures and only a few pairs of stream identifiers should be used for X2-C dedicated procedures. Source-eNB communication context identifiers that are assigned by the source-eNB for X

42、2-C dedicated procedures, and target-eNB communication context identifiers that are assigned by the target-eNB for X2-C dedicated procedures, shall be used to distinguish UE specific X2-C signalling transport bearers. The communication context identifiers are conveyed in the respective X2AP messages

43、. 5 Functions of the X2 interface 5.1 Function list The list of functions on the X2 interface is the following: - Intra LTE-Access-System Mobility Support for ECM-CONNECTED UE: - Context transfer from source eNB to target eNB; - Control of user plane transport bearers between source eNB and target e

44、NB; - Handover cancellation; - UE context release in source eNB; - Dual Connectivity. - Load Management - Inter-cell Interference Coordination - Uplink Interference Load Management; - Downlink interference avoidance. - General X2 management and error handling functions: - Error indication; - Reset.

46、eNB to handover the control of a certain UE to another eNB. 5.2.1.1 Context transfer from source eNB to target eNB This function allows transferring information required to maintain the E-UTRAN services for an UE in ECM-CONNECTED from source to target eNB. 5.2.1.2 Control of user plane transport bea

47、rers between source eNB and target eNB This function allows establishing and releasing transport bearers between source and target eNB to allow for data forwarding. At most one user plane transport bearer per E-RAB allocated to the UE may be established for relaying DL data received from the EPC fro

48、m the source eNB to the target eNB. At most one user plane transport bearer per E-RAB allocated to the UE may be established for relaying the UL data received from the UE from the source eNB to the target eNB. 5.2.1.3 Handover cancellation This function allows informing an already prepared target eN

49、B that a prepared handover will not take place. It allows releasing the resources allocated during a preparation. 5.2.1.4 UE context release in source eNB This function allows the target eNB to trigger the release of the resources allocated to the UE in the source eNB. 5.2.1.5 Dual Connectivity This function allows MeNB and SeNB to support Dual Connectivity. MeNB and SeNB manage establishment, modification and release of UE context at the SeNB, and controls user plane tunnels over X2. 5.2.2 Load management This function allows exchanging over
