Network Architecture

MME Mobile Management Entity controls mobile signaling: network


attach/authentication (to HSS), handovers, idle mode
SGW Service Gateway provides the user plane data traffic.
HSS Home Subscriber Server provides subscriber provisioning.
Important interfaces from the eNodeB:

S1-U : interface to the SGW


S1-MME : interface to the MME
X2 : interface to another eNodeB for mobility

Dual-mode Wimax/LTE: Shared BS

Wimax and LTE run on the same base station with addition of LTE
cards.
Wimax and LTE share the same radio head (RRU).
Separate backhaul for Wimax & LTE. GigE for LTE and 100MB ETH
for Wimax.
Wimax Carriers on 1st fiber
LTE Carriers on 2nd fiber
LTE Cards: LBBP, LMPT
