HeNB Gateway in Wireless LTE Network
eNode B is the node with radio access capabilities in LTE radio access network (RAN) that is responsible for radio
transmission and reception from UEs in one or more in absence of Radio Network Controller (RNC) in LTE. The
functionality of eNode B is enhanced to handle the tasks which were handled by the RNC in the 3G network. The Home
eNode B (HeNB) provides LTE radio coverage for LTE devices/handsets within a home residential coverage area. An
HeNB incorporates the capabilities of a standard eNode B.

The Cisco® ASR5x00 provides LTE wireless carriers with a flexible solution that functions as a Home eNode B
Gateway (HeNB-GW) in HeNB Access Network to connect UEs with existing LTE networks.
Gateway (HeNB-GW) in HeNB Access Network to connect UEs with existing LTE networks.
The Home eNodeB Gateway works as a gateway for HeNBs to access the core networks. The HeNB-GW concentrates
connections from a large amount of HeNBs through S1 interface and terminates the connection to existing Core
Networks using standard interface.
