33、4.1 NG Architecture The NG-RAN is layered into a Radio Network Layer (RNL) and a Transport Network Layer (TNL). The NG-RAN architecture, i.e. the NG-RAN logical nodes and interfaces between them, are defined as part of the RNL. The NG-RAN architecture consists of a set of gNBs and ng-eNBs which are
34、connected to the 5GC through the NG interface and is specified in TS 38.300 7. The NG-RAN may have several NG access points towards the 5GC. As a minimum, each NG access point (in NG-RAN or 5GC) shall independently fulfil the requirements of the relevant NG specifications (3GPP 38.41x series - see c
35、lause 7). NG is a logical interface. There may be multiple NG-C logical interfaces towards the 5GC from any one NG-RAN node. The selection of the NG-C interface is then determined by the NAS Node Selection function as described in clause 5. There may be multiple NG-U logical interfaces towards the 5
36、GC from any one NG-RAN node. The selection of the NG-U interface is done within the 5GC and signalled to the NG-RAN node by the AMF. 4.2 NG interface general principles The general principles for the specification of the NG interface are as follows: - the NG interface is open; - the NG interface sup
37、ports the exchange of signalling information between the NG-RAN and 5GC; - from a logical standpoint, the NG is a point-to-point interface between an NG-RAN node and a 5GC node. A point-to-point logical interface is feasible even in the absence of a physical direct connection between the NG-RAN and
38、5GC; - the NG interface supports control plane and user plane separation; - the NG interface separates Radio Network Layer and Transport Network Layer; - the NG interface is future proof to fulfil different new requirements and support of new services and new functions; - the NG interface is decoupl
39、ed with the possible NG-RAN deployment variants; - the NG Application Protocol supports modular procedures design and uses a syntax allowing optimized encoding /decoding efficiency. 4.3 NG interface specification objectives The NG interface specification facilitates the following: - inter-connection
40、 of NG-RAN nodes with AMFs supplied by different manufacturers; - separation of NG interface Radio Network functionality and Transport Network functionality to facilitate introduction of future technology. 4.4 NG interface capabilities The NG interface supports: - procedures to establish, maintain a
41、nd release NG-RAN part of PDU sessions; - procedures to perform intra-RAT handover and inter-RAT handover; - the separation of each UE on the protocol level for user specific signalling management; ETSI ETSI TS 138 410 V15.0.0 (2018-07)73GPP TS 38.410 version 15.0.0 Release 15- the transfer of NAS s
42、ignalling messages between UE and AMF; - mechanisms for resource reservation for packet data streams. 5 Functions of the NG interface 5.1 General The following clauses describe the functions supported over the NG interface. 5.2 Paging function The paging function supports the sending of paging reque
43、sts to the NG-RAN nodes involved in the paging area e.g. the NG-RAN nodes of the TA(s) the UE is registered. 5.3 UE Context Management function The UE Context management function allows the AMF to establish, modify or release a UE Context in the AMF and the NG-RAN node e.g. to support user individua
44、l signalling on NG. 5.4 Mobility Management function The mobility function for UEs in ECM-CONNECTED includes the intra-system handover function to support mobility within NG-RAN and inter-system handover function to support mobility from/to EPS system. It comprises the preparation, execution and com
45、pletion of handover via the NG interface. 5.5 PDU Session Management function The PDU Session function is responsible for establishing, modifying and releasing the involved PDU sessions NG-RAN resources for user data transport once a UE context is available in the NG-RAN node. NGAP supports transpar
46、ent relaying of PDU Session related information by the AMF as described in TS 23.502 6. 5.6 NAS Transport function The NAS Signalling Transport function provides means to transport or reroute a NAS message (e.g. for NAS mobility management) for a specific UE over the NG interface. 5.7 NAS Node Selec
47、tion function The interconnection of NG-RAN nodes to multiple AMFs is supported in the 5GS architecture. Therefore, a NAS node selection function is located in the NG-RAN node to determine the AMF association of the UE, based on the UEs temporary identifier, which was assigned to the UE by the AMF.
48、When the UEs temporary identifier has not been yet assigned or is no longer valid the NG-RAN node may instead take into account slicing information to determine the AMF. This functionality is located in the NG-RAN node and enables proper routing via the NG interface. On NG, no specific procedure cor
49、responds to the NAS Node Selection Function. 5.8 NG Interface Management function The NG-interface management functions provide - means to ensure a defined start of NG-interface operation (reset); - means to handle different versions of application part implementations and protocol errors (error indication). ETSI ETSI TS 138 410 V15.0.0 (2018-07)83GPP TS 38.410 version 15.0.0 Release 155.9 Warning Message Transmission function The warning message transmission function provides means to transfer warning messages via NG interface or cancel
