Authentication and Access Control in Wimax

Authentication and Access Control in Wimax Access control is the security mechanism to ensure that only valid users are allowed access to the network. In the most general terms, an access control system has three elements: (1) an entity that desires to get access: the supplicant, (2) an entity that controls the access gate: the … Read more

LTE – eNodeB, MME and SAE Function in Short

LTE – eNodeB, MME and SAE Function in Short Here I write in short about eNodeB functions, Mobile Management Entity (MME) functions and System Architecture Evolution (SAE) functions. LTE (Long-Term Evolution) represents a significant advancement in wireless communication technology, with key components such as the eNodeB (evolved NodeB), MME (Mobility Management Entity), and SAE (System … Read more

How Non Access Stratum procedures works in LTE

The procedures for the Non Access Stratum, especially power management procedures are substantially similar to UMTS. Main change is that the UMTS EPS allows concatenation certain procedures to allow faster creation of connection and media. Create MME UE context, when the UE is on and attaches to the network. Assign a unique ID called SAE … Read more

IP Multicast Service Models – Dense and Sparse Modes

IP Multicast Service Models Having Three Multicast Any-Source Multicast (ASM) Source-Filtered Multicast (SFM) and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) which work as below. Any-Source Multicast (ASM) Destination ‘multicast’ address only defines ‘Group’ membership Will accept from ‘any source’ (unicast) First and oldest model, defined in RFC 1112 Source-Filtered Multicast (SFM) Destination ‘multicast’ address only defines ‘Group’ membership … Read more

What is High-Speed Shared Control Channel HS-SCCH and its work in 3G WCDMA

Carries physical layer signaling to a single UE, such as modulation scheme (1 bit), channelization code set (7 bit), transport block size (6bit), HARQ process number (3bit), redundancy version (3bit), new data indicator (1bit), UE identity (16bit) HS-SCCH is a fixed rate (60 kbps, SF=128) downlink physical channel used to carry downlink signaling related to … Read more

S1 and X2 Bandwidth Dimensioning Procedure

The figure below denotes the location of the X2 and S1 link with respect to the other network components within the LTE network. In general, the traffic on S1 interface is divided into two different plane, the control plane, which uses SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) developed by IETF for the purpose of transporting various … Read more
