图1为相关技术中分组域系统的结构示意图,如图1所示,整个PS系统分为3G无线接入网和3G核心网两部分。
在3G无线接入网中,包含了基站(NodeB)和3G无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,简称为RNC),它主要负责无线信号的收发,通过空中接口和终端联系,管理空中接口的无线资源、资源调度、以及接入控制。
在3G核心网中,包含了归属位置寄存器(Home Location Register,简称为HLR)、服务GPRS支持节点(Serving GPRS Support Node,简称为SGSN)、网关GPRS支持节点(Gateway GPRS Support Node,简称为GGSN)、策略和计费规则功能(Policy and Charging Rules Function,简称为PCRF)、在线计费系统(Online Charging System,简称为OCS)。
图2为相关技术中演进分组域系统的结构示意图,如图2所示,整个EPS系统分为4G无线接入网和4G核心网两部分。
4G无线接入网,包含了演进基站(Evolved NodeB,简称为eNodeB),它主要负责无线信号的收发,通过空中接口和终端联系,管理空中接口的无线资源、资源调度、以及接入控制。
