I. INTRODUCTION System Architecture Evolution, or SAE, is synonymous with Evolved Packet Core, or EPC. SAE/EPC is defined by 3GPP in Release 8 (Rel-8) as an entirely new core network with a flatter all-IP architecture enabling a higher data rate, lower latency packet-optimized system that supports multiple radio-access technologies, focusing on the packet-switched domain, with the assumption that the system will support all services — including voice — in this domain.
II. DISCUSSION SAE/EPC: System Architecture Evolution/Evolved Packet Core 3GPP has made significant progress in Rel- 8 towards the standards development and definition of a new flatter-IP core network to support the Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (EUTRAN) through the SAE work item, which has recently been renamed the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) Architecture. In parallel, 3GPP has made significant progress towards the standards development and definition of a new OFDMA-based technology through the Long Term Evolution (LTE) work item. This new OFDMA based air interface (LTE) is also often referred to as the EUTRAN. Note that the complete packet system consisting of the
