User Plane Protocol and Architectural Analysis on 3GPP 5G System
draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis-00
Abstract
This document analyzes the mobile user plane protocol and the
architecture specified in 3GPP 5G documents. The analysis work is to
clarify those specifications, extract protocol and architectural
requirements and derive evaluation aspects for user plane protocols
on IETF side. This work is corresponding to the User Plane Protocol
Study work on 3GPP side.
