1 Scope p. 6
The present document specifies the UE - EPC procedures for accessing 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC) via a Fixed Broadband Access network.
The specification covers the Support of QoS, Tunnel management procedures including the support of NAT traversal, and non-seamless offloading impacts.
The present document is applicable to the UE and the network. In this technical specification the network is the 3GPP EPC.

3.1 Definitions p. 7
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905.
Fixed Broadband Access network:
Fixed broadband access network is a type of high-speed Internet access for multi-service broadband packet networking. The fixed broadband access system is specified by the Broadband Forum in BBF TR-058 [11], BBF TR-059 [12], BBF TR-101 [13], BBF TR-134 [14], BBF TR-145 [15], BBF TR-146 [17], and BBF TR-203 [16].
UE reflective QoS function:
A UE function that supports reflective QoS for uplink traffic over a fixed broadband access network as specified in TS 23.139.
Non-seamless WLAN offload (NSWO):
NSWO is a capability of a UE supporting routing specific IP flows over the WLAN access without traversing the EPC as defined in TS 23.139.
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions given in TS 24.303 subclause 3.1 apply:

4 General p. 7
4.1 Support of Fixed Broadband Access Network Interworking p. 7
The support of fixed broadband access network is based on the network configuration as specified in TS 23.139. 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 TS 24.302 and TS 24.303.
4.2 Network Discovery and Selection p. 8
4.2.1 Access network discovery and selection procedures p. 8
