Application Description
1) Service Description
Indoor scenarios differ from outdoor ones in user characteristics, behavior patterns, and service expectations. In enterprise scenarios, users have similar behavior patterns and service requirements, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is seeing tremendous popularity.
Service Anchor is a capability-open indoor radio network controller. It functions as a bridge between small cells and telecom public clouds (conventional core network equipment) and third-party app servers. The following fig shows the position of Service Anchor in a small cell network.

 
Service Anchor provides the following functions:
·           Network capability openness: It provides an API interface to third-party app servers under the operator management to fulfill the requirements of enterprises, mass-market consumer sites, and OTT developers.
·           Radio network control: It is integrated with function components of access controllers (ACs) and access gateways (AGs) to increase efficiency of small cell networks.
Service Anchor consists of Service Anchor hardware, Service Anchor basic software, and Service Anchor function components.

 
·           Service Anchor hardware
Developed on Huawei's general hardware platform, Service Anchor hardware has two hardware products: SVA3100 hardware and SVA3200 hardware, which are applicable to different application scenarios.
·           Service Anchor basic software
-          Implements device management, as well as manages loading, enabling and lifecycle of the Service Anchor function components.
-          Helps decouple function components from the hardware and ensure flexible deployment.
·           Service Anchor function component
Each Service Anchor function component is optional to the Service Anchor solution and has separate functions, features, and license files, allowing customers to select optional features based on their own needs. These function components can be separately deployed and maintained, facilitating network deployment and evolution.
In this release, the Service Anchor has three function components: SVA-AE, SVA-AC, and SVA-AG. Other function components will be available in future releases.
