Direct Transport Bearers Between SRNC and Node-B
The purpose of the present document is to help the TSG RAN WG3 group to study aspects of the direct Node-B to SRNC transport bearers in preparation for a WI on this topic, as proposed in [1].
As requested by TSG-RAN, the document describes the identified consequences of the direct transport bearers, and classifies these main consequences as benefits or drawbacks.
Since the consequences might be different for an ATM and IP TNL, these different TNL’s are handled separately.
This document is a ‘living’ document, i.e. it is permanently updated and presented to all TSG-RAN meetings.
