APN SS7 (MAP) GRX GPRS Roaming – PLMN Roaming APN: Access Point Name (e.g. ibm.com.mcc123.mnc456.gprs) • GPRS Attachment or MS Registration – SGSN retrieves user data profile including APN from HLR via SS7 and registers the visited MS • PDP Context Activation – VSGSN establishes GTP tunnel with HGGSN; DNS is used to find home GGSN. • Bearer traffic goes though GRX through GTP Tunnel back to home.

Agenda • GPRS Roaming and GRX • GRRS vs. CDMA Data Roaming • Aicent GRX/CRX Enhance Inter-Standard Data Roaming (ISDR)
Key Components for ISDR • Sponsor GPRS operator • Enable GPRS roaming relationship with visited GPRS network • IIF and AAA • Signaling/authentication integration • Home GGSN and Visited PDSN • Tunnel conversion for bearer traffic • Data Clearing • TAP and CIBER integration
Two ISDR Cases • Third party ISDR total solution provider • Third party sponsor GPRS operator • Third party solution provider integrates IIF and AAA • Third party solution provider converts tunnels • Third party solution provider integrates TAP and CIBER • Self-sponsor ISDR • Self provides GPRS roaming agreements • Self provides IIF, GGSN and AAA • Self provides tunnel conversion • Self provides TAP billing system
