Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is a critical metric in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks that measures the power level of the reference signals transmitted by the cell’s base station (eNodeB) as received by the user equipment (UE). RSRP is an essential indicator of the signal strength between the UE and the cell, influencing the quality … Read more
The term “5G en-DC combination” refers to the deployment scenario in which 5G (5th generation) networks are combined with Dual Connectivity (en-DC). Dual Connectivity is a technology that allows a mobile device to connect to two different radio access networks (RANs) simultaneously, enhancing data rates, coverage, and overall network performance. In the context of 5G, … Read more
The term “5G Non-Standalone (NSA) option” refers to a deployment strategy for 5th generation (5G) mobile networks that involves the integration of 5G capabilities while still relying on existing 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) infrastructure. In a 5G NSA deployment, the new 5G radio access network (gNB) is introduced, but it continues to leverage the existing … Read more
The terms “5G NSA” and “5G SA” refer to two different deployment options for 5th generation (5G) mobile networks, and they have implications for coverage and network architecture. Let’s explore in detail the differences in coverage between 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) and 5G SA (Standalone) deployments: 1. 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) Coverage: Definition: 5G NSA is a … Read more
The term “Code RAT” is not a well-known or widely recognized term in the context of common technology or telecommunications terminology. However, if we break down the term into its components, “Code” and “RAT,” we might explore potential interpretations related to technology, software, or network protocols. 1. Code: Definition: In the context of technology and … Read more
Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) is a crucial parameter in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks, providing information about the quality of the communication channel between the user equipment (UE) and the base station (eNodeB). CQI is used by the network to adapt its transmission parameters, such as modulation and coding schemes, to optimize data transmission efficiency. A … Read more
The Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is a crucial parameter in cellular networks, indicating the strength of the signal received by a mobile device from the serving cell or base station. RSRP is typically measured in decibels per milliwatt (dBm), and a value of 85 dBm is relatively low and may indicate certain conditions and … Read more
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows voice communication and multimedia sessions to be transmitted over the Internet using the Internet Protocol (IP). VoIP relies on various protocols within the Internet Protocol suite to facilitate communication between devices. Let’s explore in detail the key protocols that VoIP uses: 1. Real-time Transport Protocol … Read more
The terms “eNB” and “gNB” are associated with different generations of mobile network technologies, specifically 4G (LTE) and 5G (NR, New Radio). Let’s explore in detail the concepts of eNB and gNB, their functions, and how they relate to their respective mobile network generations. 1. eNB (Evolved NodeB) – 4G LTE: Definition: eNB, or Evolved … Read more
When the internet goes down in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system, it can significantly impact communication services and disrupt voice calls. VoIP relies on internet connectivity to transmit voice data in the form of digital packets. If the internet connection is lost, several consequences may occur, affecting the ability to make and receive … Read more
