Wi


between  PDG  and  PDN (Packet Data Network) 

specified from  Rel-6
Source:   TS 23.002, clause 6a.9.5 

This is the reference point between the PDG and a packet data network. It may be an operator external public or private packet data network or an intra operator packet data network, e.g. for provision of IMS services.

Wm


between  3GPP AAA Server / Proxy  and  PDG

specified from  Rel-6
Source:   TS 23.002, clause 6a.9.6 

The functionality of this reference point is to enable:
  • The 3GPP AAA Server/Proxy to retrieve tunnelling attributes and WLAN UE's IP configuration parameters from/via Packet Data Gateway
  • Carrying messages for service authentication and authorization
  • Carrying authentication data for the purpose of tunnel establishment, tunnel data authentication and encryption.
For more information see TS 23.234.

Wx


between  3GPP AAA Server  and  HSS

specified from  Rel-6
Source:   TS 23.002, clause 6a.9.11 

The functionality of this reference point is to enable:
  • Retrieval of authentication vectors
  • Retrieval of WLAN access-related subscriber information (profile)
  • Registration of the 3GPP AAA Server of an authorised WLAN user in the HSS
  • Indication of change of subscriber profile
  • Retrieval of online charging / offline charging function addresses from HSS.
  • Retrieval of service related information
For more information see TS 23.234.
