The present document specifies the stage 3 of the Evolved Packet System S101and S121 reference points between the MME and the HRPD Access Network. The S101 interface supports procedures for Pre-Registration, Session Maintenance and Active handoffs between E-UTRAN and HRPD networks. The S121 interface supports procedures for RIM information exchange between the MME and the HRPD Access Network.
It also specifies the S103 interface between the Serving GW and HSGW. This User Plane interface is used to forward DL data to minimize packet losses in mobility from E-UTRAN to HRPD. Signalling procedures on the S101 interface are used to set up tunnels on the S103 interface.

The S101 and S121 reference points are defined between the MME and the HRPD access, enabling interactions between E-UTRAN Access and cdma2000 HRPD Access. The S101 interface is required to perform procedures related to optimise HO from the E-UTRAN Access to cdma2000 HRPD Access to allow for pre-registration and handover signalling with the target system. The S121 interface is required to perform procedures related to RIM information exchange between the E-UTRAN Access and cdma2000 HRPD Access.
The S103 interface is defined between the Serving GW and HSGW and supports the forwarding of DL data during mobility from E-UTRAN to HRPD. Signalling procedures on the S101 interface are used to set up tunnels on the S103 interface.
The requirements for these interfaces are defined in
TS 23.402.
The protocol stack used for the S101 and S121 interfaces shall be based on GTPv2-C, see
TS 29.274 Figure 4.2.0-1.
The UDP header and port numbers definitions shall be as defined in GTPv2-C, see
TS 29.274, clause 4.2.1.
The IP header and IP addresses definitions shall be as defined in GTPv2-C, see
TS 29.274, clause 4.2.2.
Layer 1 and Layer 2 requirements shall as defined in GTPv2-C, see
TS 29.274, clause 4.2.3 and
TS 29.274, clause 4.2.4.
Transmission Order and Bit Definitions shall be as defined in GTPv2-C, see
TS 29.274, clause 4.3.
