Telecommunication service models determine the delivery of communication services. AGILITY uses the service models described on this page to run predictions and provide network analysis. For a comprehensive list of all protocols, and interfaces that AGILITY supports for these models, see /wiki/spaces/~712020272113beb61f46609e5721d6521a154c/pages/3205956647.

4G-5G NSA Connectivity

...

4G-5G

...

The 4G-5g-NSA model includes the following captures required from NE interfaces:​

eNodeB: X2

...

NSA connectivity represents an interim step in the evolution of mobile networks, allowing for the introduction of 5G benefits while leveraging the existing 4G infrastructure for a smoother transition.

4G-5G NSA connectivity is the coexistence and collaboration between 4G and 5G networks in Non-Standalone mode. In this mode, 5G provides enhanced data speeds and capabilities while still relying on the existing 4G core network for certain functions.

  • Users with 5G-enabled devices can experience faster data speeds and lower latency when connected to 5G cells, while still maintaining connectivity through 4G when 5G is not available.

  • It allows for a gradual transition to full 5G standalone deployments as the 5G infrastructure is expanded and upgraded.

5G-SA Connectivity

5G-SA (Standalone) connectivity is the deployment of a fully independent 5G network architecture without any reliance on existing 4G infrastructure. In a 5G-SA network, both the radio access network (RAN) and the core network are built on native 5G specifications.

5G-SA Data

...

5G-SA (Standalone) data is the data connectivity and communication services facilitated through a fully independent 5G network architecture. Unlike 4G-5G NSA (Non-Standalone) deployments that rely on existing 4G infrastructure, 5G-SA operates with a standalone core network and radio access network (RAN).

The 5G-SA model includes captures of

4G Data

4G data is the data connectivity and communication services facilitated through a 4G network architecture.

The 4G Data model includes captures of data calls from:​​

  • MME: S1_MME, S11, S6a

  • S-GW: S1u, S5c, S5u​

  • P-GW: S5c, S5u, Gm, Gy, Gx​

5G-SA Mobility

5G-SA (Standalone) data is the data connectivity and communication services facilitated through a fully independent 5G network architecture. Unlike 4G-5G NSA (Non-Standalone) deployments that rely on existing 4G infrastructure, 5G-SA operates with a standalone core network and radio access network (RAN).

The 5G-SA model includes captures of data calls from:5G-SA (Standalone) mobility is the mobile communication capabilities provided by a fully independent 5G network architecture. In the context of mobility, this encompasses the seamless and advanced connectivity solutions designed to cater to the dynamic and mobile nature of devices and users.

The 5G-S model includes captures of handover calls from:​

  • gNodeB:

  • N2​

  • O-CU:

  • N2 (O-Ran scenarios)​

  • AMF: N2​

  • UPF: N3, N6​

Inter-RAT / EPS Fallback 5G - 4G Mobility

...

Inter-RAT (Radio Access Technology) or EPS (Evolved Packet System) Fallback in the context of 5G-4G mobility is the ability of a mobile device to seamlessly transition between 5G and 4G networks when moving across areas with different network technologies.

Inter-RAT mobility involves the smooth handover of a mobile device between different radio access technologies.​

Method #1: 5G to 4G Inter-RAT Handover

...

In this method, the N26 interface between AMF and MME uses a Forward Relocation procedure and session management context. Additionally, user plane tunnels in the core network are exchanged over from SMF/UPM to MME/S-GW.​

Method #2: 5G to 4G Release with Redirection

In this method, the 5G radio connection is released with the 5G RRC Release instructing the UE to reselect to a 4G cell where a new radio connection can be started for the VoLTE call. In this case, the UE context is transferred from the AMF to the MME over the N26 interface.

The Inter-RAT / EPS Fallback 5G - 4G – Mobility Model captures:

  • eNodeB: X2​

  • gNodeB: X2 (for 5G NSA configuration)​

  • MME: S1_MME, S11, S6a​

  • S-GW: S11, S5c​

  • P-GW: S5c, S5u, SGi​

  • AMF: N26, N2, S11​

  • SMF: N4, Nsmf, Nudm, Npcf, Nnrf, Namf, Nchf​

  • UPF: N3, N4, N6​​

5G - SMS: SMS over NAS-5GS

SMS over NAS-5GS allows 5G SA users to send SMS messages through the 5G core network. The AMF sends and receives SMS messages from the UE over the N1 interface, which carries NAS-5GS messages. The 5G core entities, AMF and SMSF, provision services for each other to enable the transfer of SMS over NAS-5GS.

The SMS over NAS-5GS Model captures:

  • UE: N1​

  • AMF: N2, HTTP2 SBA services​

  • SMSF: HTTP2 SBA services

  • UDM: HTTP2 SBA services

4G - SMS: SMS over NAS-EPS

SMS over NAS-5PS allows 4G users to send SMS messages through the 4G core network. The MME sends and receives SMS messages from the UE over the S1 interface, which carries NAS-EPS messages. The 4G core entities, MME and MSC, provision services for each other to enable the transfer of SMS over NAS-EPS.

The SMS over NAS-EPS Model captures:

  • MME: S1_MME, S11, SGs

  • S-GW: S1u, S5c, S5u​

  • P-GW: S5c, S5u, Gm, Gy, Gx​

  • OCS: Gy, Sy, Ro​

  • HSS: S6a, Cx, Sh​

4G - E911

E911 is a service that enables emergency operators to provide assistance to users calling 911. E911 calls are directed to emergency responders such as police, fire, and rescue departments, collectively known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). The call setup process is similar to VoLTE but includes additional components like the Emergency S-CSCF, which routes the calls to specific servers that use geo-location to assist emergency response.

The E911 Model captures:

  • MME: S1_MME, S11, SLs​

  • S-GW: S1u, S5c, S5u​

  • P-GW: S5c, S5u, Gm, Gy, Gx​

  • OCS: Gy, Sy, Ro​

  • HSS: S6a, Cx, Sh​

  • S-CSCF: Mw, Mx, Mr, Mg, Mi, ISC, Cx​

  • TAS: Mr​

  • IBCF: Ici ​

  • MGCF: ISUP​
