Connectionless oriented service(IP networks). A network technology that breaks up a message into packets. Each packet contains a header. Packets may be fragmented. They can arrive out of order. The destination reassembles the message . packet switching

Evolution of 3g • The technology used going from GSM towards 3G is General Packet Radio Service (GPRS).
GPRS • Two new network elements integrated into the GSM architecture : 1)GGSN(gateway GPRS support node ): internetworking unit between GPRS and packet data network(IP multimedia, MMS ,Internet). 2)SGSN(serving GPRS support node): supports the mobile station (location, billing, security).

Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) :telephone exchange. • Home Location Registration(HLR) :a database for subscribers. • Visitor Location Register(VLR) :temporary database of the subscribers. • Authentication Centre(AuC) :is a function to authenticate each SIM card that connects to the GSM network. • Gateway MSC(GMSC) :gateway for handling incoming calls. 3g Core network
Ubiquitous connectivity. High-rate data services. What do mobile users get in hotspots ?
The heterogeneous technologies employed in 3G cellular networks and WLANs bring many challenges to the interworking. mobility management. security Support . quality of service (QoS). CHALLENGES FOR 3G/WLAN INTERWORKING
1) Requires common billing and customer care. 2) 3G subscriber roaming to the WLAN is authenticated and charged by its 3G home network. 3)The 3G packet-switched services are also open to users attached to WLAN. 4,5)Improve the third scenario with higher requirements for services continuity. 6) Allows the access to the 3G circuit-switched services via WLANs. Interworking scenarios
UE: user equipment. • HLR/HSS: entity containing authentication and subscription data. • WAG (WLAN Access Gateway): is a gateway via which the data to/from the WLAN Access Network shall be routed. • PDG(Packet Data Gateway): 3GPP PS services are accessed via PDG. • Authentication Authorization Accounting server(AAA): Authentication identifies the user. Authorization determine which services a valid user may access. Accounting keeps track of time for billing .
