The document provides an overview of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and its components:
1. The EPC introduced with LTE features a flat "all-IP" architecture with the Serving Gateway (SGW), Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW), Mobility Management Entity (MME), and Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) as key components.
2. The SGW serves user plane tunnels, the PGW acts as the IP anchor and enforces policies, the MME handles mobility management, and the PCRF provides dynamic policy control.
3. The eNodeB interfaces with the MME for control functions and the SGW for user plane data, facilitating mobility management
