4 General
4.1 Support of Fixed Broadband Access Network Interworking
The support of fixed broadband access network is based on the network configuration as specified in
3GPP TS 23.139 [2]. The fixed broadband access network interworking related functions are triggered by the network if
the network knows the UE local access network is a fixed broadband access network. For instance, the network can be
statically configured with a mapping between the UE local IP address and the local access network type.
For access to 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC) via a fixed broadband access network or non-seamless WLAN offload
at a fixed broadband access network or both, the EPC network procedures and the UE procedures are specified in this
document. In all other cases, the EPC network procedure and the UE procedures are specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [3]
and 3GPP TS 24.303 [4].
4.2 Network Discovery and Selection
4.2.1 Access network discovery and selection procedures
When interworking with fixed broadband access, the access network discovery and selection procedures specified in
3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.

4.2.2 EPC network selection
When interworking with fixed broadband access, the EPC network selection procedures specified in
3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.
4.2.3 Access network reselection
When interworking with fixed broadband access, the access network reselection procedures specified in
3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.
4.2.4 Data traffic routing of IP flows
When interworking with fixed broadband access, the data routing of IP flows procedures specified in
3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.
4.3 UE – EPC Network Protocols
4.3.1 Trusted and Untrusted Accesses
When interworking with Fixed Access Broadband, the UE-EPC Network protocols related to trusted and untrusted
access procedures specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.
4.3.2 IP Mobility Mode Selection
When interworking with Fixed Access Broadband, the UE-EPC Network protocols related to IP Mobility Mode
Selection procedures specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.
4.3.3 Authentication and Authorization
When interworking with Fixed Access Broadband, the UE-EPC Network protocols related to Authentication and
Authorization procedures specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [3] is applied.
5 Supporting QoS
5.1 General
When interworking with a fixed broadband access network, DSCP marking is used for setting QoS as specified in
IETF RFC 2474 [5].
For downlink traffic, the 3GPP network sets the DSCP value on the outer header of each IP packet on a per-flow basis.
When tunnelling the IP packet to the UE, the network copies the DSCP value from the inner IP header to the new outer
IP header.
For uplink traffic, the reflective QoS on uplink traffic is optionally supported by the UE when accessing a fixed
broadband access network. The reflective QoS is achieved by creating a DSCP marking rule based on the received
downlink traffic.
The BBF network performs QoS treatment and QoS remapping based on DSCP value of the outer IP header.
5.2 UE reflective QoS procedures
5.2.1 General
A UE may support the UE reflective QoS function for uplink traffic.
For a UE supporting UE reflective QoS function, and if UE reflective QoS function is enabled by the network, the UE
shall create uplink DSCP marking rules based on the received downlink traffic. Each uplink DSCP marking rule
contains a n-tuple rule which is created based on the corresponding n-tuple of the received downlink traffic. The UE
shall use the uplink DSCP marking rules to set the DSCP field of the outer IP header of the outgoing IP packets.
The UE reflective QoS function is enabled by the network as specified in subclause 5.4.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
3GPP TS 24.139 version 11.5.0 Release 11 9 ETSI TS 124 139 V11.5.0 (2018-12)
5.2.2 DSCP marking rule
The DSCP marking rules contains following parameter values:
- Source IP address;
- Destination IP address;
- Source port number;
- Destination port number;
- Protocol type;
- DSCP marking value; and
- Timestamp.
The source IP address refers to the IP address used by the UE as source IP address when generating IP traffic.
The destination IP address refers to the IP address of the data packets destined for the UE.
The source port number refers to the port number used by the UE as source port number when generating IP traffic.
The destination port number refers to the port number of the data packets destined for the UE.
The protocol type is a value among the internet protocol numbers as defined in IANA. In case of IPv4, the protocol type
value is the value of the outer IP header protocol type field. In case of IPv6, the protocol type value is the value of the
last next header field.
The timestamp is the time that the DSCP marking rule was created or the last time the DSCP marking rule was applied.
5.2.3 Maintaining DSCP marking rules
The DSCP marking table is created when the first DSCP marking rule is created based on the received downlink IP
packet.
Depending on the protocol type, the n-tuple is either a 5-tuple (including: source IP address, destination IP address,
source port number, destination port number, and protocol type) or a 3-tuple (including source IP address, destination IP
address, and protocol type).
The lifetime of the DSCP marking table is same as the associated PDN connection.
A UE may remove the expired entries from the table based on the timestamp. How long the entry shall be maintained in
the table is an implementation specific value.
5.2.4 Receiving an IP packet
When receiving an IP packet, the UE shall perform a lookup in the DSCP marking table based on the n-tuple of the IP
header. If tunnel is established between the UE and the network, the lookup is performed after the tunnel de-
capsulation.
If no matching entry is found, a new entry shall be created as follows:
- The source IP address of the new entry is the destination IP address of the received packets;
- The source port number of the new entry is the destination port number of the received packets;
- The destination IP address of the new entry is the source IP address of the received packets;
- The destination port number of the new entry is the source port number of the received packets;
- The protocol type value is either the value of the last protocol type field in IPv4 case, or the value of the last next
header field in case of IPv6;
- The DSCP field is set as same as the DSCP field of the received outer IP header; and
