Detailed Description

This application implements the Mobility Management Entity (MME) according to the 3GPP TS 23.401 document.


Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

This Application implements the MME side of the S1-MME interface between the MME node and the eNB nodes and the MME side of the S11 interface between the MME node and the SGW node. It supports the following functions and messages:

  • Bearer management functions including dedicated bearer establishment
  • NAS signalling
  • Tunnel Management messages

Others functions enumerated in section 4.4.2 of 3GPP TS 23.401 are not supported.


No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 240 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).

Ipv4Address  mmeS11Addr,
Ptr< Socket mmeS11Socket 
)

Add a new SGW to the MME.

◆ AddUe()

void ns3::EpcMmeApplication::AddUe ( uint64_t  imsi)

Add a new UE to the MME.

This is the equivalent of storing the UE credentials before the UE is ever turned on.

Parameters
imsithe unique identifier of the UE

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::EpcMmeApplication::DoDispose ( void  )
virtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Application.
