The LTE-EPC

The Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is the IP-based core network defined by 3GPP for LTE and other access technologies. The goal of EPC is to provide simplified All-IP core network architecture to efficiently give access to various services. It defines new network nodes such as a Mobility Management Entity (MME), a Serving Gateway (SGW) and a Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW). LTE enables operators to support a wide variety of access types using a common core network. EPC solutions typically include backhaul, network management, and video, applications that all monetize the LTE investment. At the same time security features such as subscriber identification and authentication are important for the MME and support of offline and online charging is a key attribute of any SGW/PGW.
