3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations p. 16
3.1 Definitions p. 16
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.
GTP-PDU:
GTP Protocol Data Unit is either a GTP-C Message or a GTP-U Message. GTP-U Message may be either a signalling message across the user plane tunnel, or a G-PDU (see clause 6).
- Signalling Message: any GTP-PDU (GTP-C or GTP-U) except the G-PDU.
- G-PDU: GTP user plane message, which carries the original packet (payload). G-PDU consists of GTP-U header and a T-PDU.
- T-PDU: original packet, for example an IP datagram, from an UE or a network node in an external packet data network. A T-PDU is the payload that is tunnelled in the GTP-U tunnel.
- GTP-C Message: GTP control plane message type of a GTP-PDU. GTP-C message consists of GTP-C header, which is followed by zero or more information elements.
- GTP-U Message: GTP user plane message. The user plane messages are used to carry user data packets, and also signalling messages e.g. for path management and error indication. Therefore, GTP-U message consists of GTP-U header, which is followed by either a T-PDU, or zero or more information elements.
A GTP tunnel is a communication tunnel between two GTP nodes (see clause 4.1 "GTP Tunnel").
PDN Connection:
"PDN Connection" in this specification only refers to the PDN connection through the SGW and PGW.
RLOS attached UE:
A UE is attached only for accessing Restricted Local Operator Services.
SCEF PDN Connection:
The PDN connection to the SCEF. Unless otherwise indicated in a clause or clause, "PDN Connections" do not refer to any SCEF PDN Connection.
Tunnel Endpoint:
A tunnel endpoint is identified with a TEID, an IP address and a UDP port number (see clause 4.1 "GTP Tunnel").
Tunnel Endpoint Identifier (TEID):
unambiguously identifies a tunnel endpoint in scope of a path (see clause 4.1 "GTP Tunnel").
