Monitoring the Mobility Management Entity
You can also view the following configurations for a MME service:
• EMM Timeouts—EPS Mobility Management (EMM) is used to support the mobility of a user
equipment. For example, it informs the network of the UEs current location and provides user
identity confidentiality. Apart from these services, it also provides connection management services
to the session management sublayer and defines timer parameters such as timeout durations for
retransmission of NAS messages.
• ESM Timeouts—EPS Session Management (ESM) is used to provide subscriber session
management for bearer context activation, deactivation, modification and update procedures.
• LTE Security Procedures—The LTE integrity and encryption algorithms used for security
procedures for the MME service, which are enabled by default.
• Policy—The session management policies for LTE subscribers of the MME service.
• S1 Interface—Transfer of signalling messages between the MME service and the eNodeB. S1 MME
uses the S1 Application Protocol (S1-AP) over the Steam Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).
This interface also serves as a path for establishing and maintaining subscriber EPS bearer context.
