HSGW Node


The HRPD Serving Gateway (HSGW) Node in MME Nodal test case simulates one or more UEs that terminate the S2a interface with a PDN GW Node during Inter-Technology Mobility handoff testing.

In MME Nodal test case, when Test Activity is Command Mode or Sequencer, Handoff protocol is eHRPD and Optimized Handoff is selected, Target HSGW Node supports only 1 Node (that is, # of Nodes = 1). In MME Nodal test case, when Test Activity is Command Mode or Sequencer, Handoff protocol is eHRPD and Optimized Handoff is NOT selected, Target HSGW Node supports from 1 to 1000 Nodes. The Target HSGW Node simulates one or more UEs that terminate the S2a interface with a PDN GW Node during Handoff testing.

In SGW Nodal test case, the Target HSGW Node mobility handoffs simulates one or more UEs that terminate the S2a interface with a PDN GW Node when Test Activity is Inter-tech Mobility and the Handoff Protocol is eHRPD or Command Node and HSGW Node Emulation is selected.

You can emulate multiple nodes with the Number of Nodes setting1 and a maximum of 2 HSGW Nodes are supported.

In SGW Nodal test case, when Test Activity = Inter-Technology Mobility, Handoff Protocol = eHRPD, S2a Protocol-PMIPv6 Transport = IPv4, in Target HSGW Node, enter PMIPv6 Destination Address: Mapped IPv4 Address and IPv6 Address.

Tcl Parameter: HsgwMagDestAddr

Dual Stack Support

Use Dual Stack to return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when requested. Dual Stack is available for your selection only when you select PGW/SGW Node Emulation on the Test Configuration tab.

Primary Node

Tcl Parameter:

HsgwDualStackEn
PdsnNodeAddr

Alternate

Available when you select Dual Stack Support.  Select Alternate Node Address.

Alternate Node

Tcl Parameter:  

PdsnNodeV6Addr

 

PMIPv6 Destination Address: Enter Mapped IPv4 Address and IPv6 Address.

NOTE: When PMIPv6 transport for S2a Protocol is set to IPV4 (on the Test Configuration tab) and PMIPv6 version >= 9.7.0 (on the PMIPv6 tab), PMIP Destination Address (both IPv6 and mapped IPv4) are not available.

Define the following:

Ethernet Configuration

With an Ethernet User Node, you can define:

 


1 Maximum rates, number of sessions, and number of emulated nodes vary depending on the test configuration and the test system's licensed capacity.
