SAE Architecture

The SAE architecture is the core network architecture for 3GPP's LTE wireless standard. It uses a simplified architecture with flat IP-based networking and includes the Evolved Node B and Access Gateway. The SAE architecture allows interworking with other wireless technologies through additional entities. Key components are the Mobility Management Entity for tracking users and handovers, the Serving Gateway for routing packets and mobility, and the PDN Gateway for connecting to external networks.

SAE Architecture

SAE
It is the core network architecture of mobile communication
protocol group 3GGP’s LTE wireless communication standard

SAE is the evolution of the GPRS Core Network, but with a


simplified architecture with an all-Network

It has support for higher throughput, lower latency radio access


network, support for mobility for heterogeneous access network
including LTE, LTE-Adv and 3GPP
SAE Architecture
• The SAE architecture is flat architecture similar to other
IP-based communication network. SAE uses an ENB
and Access Gateway (aGW)

• SAE also includes entities to allow full inter-working


with other related wireless technology (WCDMA,
WiMAX, WLAN)

• These entities can manage and permit the non-3GPP


technologies to interface directly with the network

MME
It is the mobility management entity which is an important
controller node in the LTE network.

Some of the features of MME are:-


● Idle mode UE tracking
● Intra-LTE handover
● User authentication with HSS
● Paging procedure such as tr-transmission
SGW
The main function of the serving gateway is routing and forwarding of
user packets.

It is also responsible for the inter-eNB handovers in the U-Plane and


provides mobility between LTE and other types of network.

The SGW keeps context information such IP bearer and routing


information, and stores the UE contexts when paging happens. It is also
responsible for replicating user traffic for lawful interception.
PDN
The PDN Gateway is the connecting node between the UE’s and the
external networks.

In order to access multiple PDNs the UE can connect to several SGW at


the same time.

Functions are:-
● Policy enforcement
● Packet filtering
● Charging station
