It is a network element management system for HeNB access. Management interface between HeNB and HMS is based 
on TR-069 family of standards. Femto access point extensions are based on standards as defined in TR-196. 

It performs following functions while managing HeNB access network: 



 

Facilitates HeNB-GW discovery for HeNB(s) 



 

Provision of configuration data to the HeNB 



 

Performs location verification of HeNB(s) and assigns appropriate serving elements (HeMS, SeGW, and HeNB-

The HeNB Management System (HMS) comprises of the following functional entities: 



 

File Server: used for file upload or download, as instructed by TR-069 manager 



 

TR-069 Manager: Performs CM, FM and PM functionality to the HeNB through Auto-configuration server

The Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) List Server is an optional function which allows the EPC network to update the 
allowed CSG lists on CSG-capable UEs.  

The CSG List Server hosts functions used by a subscriber to manage membership to multiple as well as different CSGs. 
For example, the CSG List Server includes the UE CSG provisioning functions which are responsible to manage the 
Allowed CSG List and the Operator CSG list stored on the UE. 

The HeNB-GW is a licensed Cisco product. Separate session and feature licenses may be required. Each HeNB-GW 
session corresponds to one IKEv2 session from an HeNB node when SeGW is integrated and enabled. The license is 
based on the number of sessions and enables all HeNB-GW functionality, including the following: 



 

IKEv2 support, including all IKEv2 and IPSEC encryption/authentication 



 

HeNB-GW service
