Data Session and Path Management Messages Overview Overview This reference guide describes the interface between the SmartCell Gateway (SCG) with Packet Data Network Gateway (PDN-GW). It describes the control plane GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) tunneling protocol messages v2 for EPS (Evolved Packet System) interfaces (GTPv2-C) from the SCG and PGW.

Data Session and Path Management Messages Overview Figure 1. Deployment of SCG with 3G and EPC The SCG supports the following categories of GTP signaling traffic: • Path Management Messages: The main purpose of these messages is to supervise an UDP/IP path to ensure that connectivity failure can be detected on time.
Data Session and Path Management Messages Data Session Establishment Data Session Establishment Figure 2 depicts session establishment based on the session such as create, modify, update and so on.

In release 11 specifications, Modify Bearer Request is not supported in an S2a interface. To support roaming scenarios Ruckus Wireless assumes that this message is required for S2a interface. Ruckus Wireless will continue with this implementation until 3GPP specification has proper roaming scenarios for S2a interface.
