LBS Roaming Summit Sameer Bhalla, Namit Garg & Philip Hur Technology Strategy, TELUSChicago, ILSeptember 19-20, 2006
Agenda • About TELUS • LBS Core Infrastructure • LBS Handsets & Applications • Packet Data Roaming
About TELUS • TELUS provides a full suite of voice, Internet and data services through its wireline, iDEN and CDMA digital wireless networks • Approx 5 million wireless and 5 million wireline subscribers across Canada • Digital PCS network • Based on 1X and EV-DO CDMA technology • Mike network • Motorola proprietary i-Den two-way radio technology
Location Manager – Commercial Edition MPC LBS Infrastructure Vendors Content Applications AGPS Handset MPC [Mobile Position Center] Opencall PDE PDE [Position Determination Entity] WARN [Wide Area Reference Network] Snap WARN feed Content Applications
LBS Network Architecture • Location Studio nodes are exposed to the internet for Secure MLP requests from application providers • Location Studio is the front end for the MPC, responsible for billing, provisioning and authentication • Location Manager nodes and PDE utilize SS7 links to the STP for Control Plane fixes • WARN feeds use redundant frame relay circuits • MPC nodes are in active/active HA configuration
Plane & Trust Support • TELUS’ LBS network and devices currently support: • Non-Trusted Mode, Network Initiated Control Plane: • MS-Assisted • Trusted Mode, Handset Initiated User Plane: • MS-Assisted • MS-Based
TELUS - LBS launch • Will launch LBS Control and User Plane on PCS devices by mid-Sept 2006 • LBS coverage will be in select areas of TELUS RF footprint • TELUS has pre-seeded GPS-capable devices in the market from Q1-06 onwards • TELUS will launch consumer based applications • Navigator • User Plane V1 MS-Based • User Plane V1 MS-Assisted • Kid Find • Control Plane V1 MS-Assisted
User Plane devices • User Plane V1 support • Samsung A950 • LG 490/fastap • Pantech 3200
Control Plane devices • Trackee devices support Control Plane V1 • LG 1000 • Samsung A630 • Samsung A950 • LG 490 • Pantech 3200 • Tracker devices are Java enabled handsets
TELUS Packet Data Roaming Environment • TELUS currently supports international packet data roaming via CDMA Roaming eXchange (CRX) transport network • The data traffic carried over the CRX network between TELUS and the roaming partners’ networks can be categorized as the following: • IP data transport: for Simple IP (no L2TP) and Mobile IP traffic accessing home-bound services • Authentication traffic: to grant access to outbound roaming users at visited networks to either local Internet or home services using user@realm.com for access authentication • Accounting traffic: for data settlement, and end user billing
Packet Data Roaming Environment (continued…) • Domestic partners - SIP, MIP, 1X, EVDO via direct facility • International partners – 1x SIP via direct facility, 1x & EVDO MIP via CRX provider
TELUS will expand packet data roaming environment worldwide with Mobile IP preferred. Non-Home based services: Internet access including browsing, email and VPN etc. Application to ASP (Application Service Provider) servers directly via Internet or 3rd party network Home based services (all services using Mobile IP technology): Microbrowsing (WAP 1&2) Wireless Web, Instant Messaging, Web Games, and E-mail MMS Picture, Audio, Video Messaging Downloads Games, Images, Ringtones PTT (Push To Talk) 1xRTT & 1xEv-DO Managed Data Service – MIP solution RIM Blackberry TELUS Mobility Roaming Services Overview
TELUS Packet Data Roaming Preferences • DNS • TELUS strongly recommends roaming partner to NAT the serving DNS address to home DNS address for MIP roaming user on foreign network, before the HA/AAA/device in the market can support dynamic DNS assignment in accordance with IS-835D • Mobile IP • Mandatory reverse tunneling • Support for registration revocation • IP-in-IP tunneling encapsulation; No IPSec/IKE • EVDO A12 terminal authentication • Roaming Partner’s RNC shall honor the Radius attribute Callback-Id returned from TELUS home AAA during AN-AAA authentication phase
