Frequency or RAT Evaluation for LTE UE

E-UTRAN configures a priority for all applicable frequencies for each RAT. In addition to the priorities of specific cells that are optionally provided by SI, E-UTRAN can assign specific EU priorities through dedicated signaling. Since frequencies are indicated in the information system, the EU is expected to take into account only the cell reselection which … Read more

How UE select suitable cell in LTE

How UE select suitable cell in LTE Here write in simple words how UE select suitable cell in LTE. After the UE has selected a PLMN, is a done selecting cell – in other words, looking for an appropriate cell camp. While camping on the cell, and that is the UE acquires broadcast. Subsequently, the … Read more

Which Cell Parameters needs to Obtain in LTE?

Which Cell Parameters needs to Obtain in LTE? To provide the most critical information to the UEs, the eNodeB uses the BCH channel The information is sent on pre-defined time-frequency resources. This information is organized into different information blocks: The MIB, the Master Information Block. System Frame Number DL -downlink System Bandwidth Number of Transmit Antennas … Read more

Cell selection and reselection in LTE UE

Cell selection and reselection in LTE UE To get service from the selected PLMN, the UE performs two types of  procedures: LTE cell selection and LTE cell reselection CELL SELECTION in LTE Upon PLMN selection, LTE UE uses “cell selection” for fast cell searching to camp on. To receive system information LTE UE tunes to … Read more

Evaluation process for Cell selection in LTE

S-CRITERION The cell selection criterion S is a pre-condition for suitable cells. The conditions for E-UTRAN, UTRAN FDD and GSM cells are listed in the figure. R – CRITERION – CELL RESELECTION The cell reselection evaluation process depends on whether Hierarchical Cell Structure (HCS) is used or not. In order to perform cell reselection UE … Read more

PLMN Selection procedure and criteria in LTE UE

PLMN Selection Process in LTE The UE scans all RF channels in the UTRAN band according to its capabilities to find available PLMNs. On each carrier, the UE searches for the strongest cell according to the cell search procedure (refer cell searching) and read its system information in order to find out which PLMN the … Read more

Logical Channel Types of LTE

Logical channels are in a one-to-one fashion associated with radio bearers. Logical channel types are used to distinguish the type of information transmitted within the attached radio bearer. The two major groups of logical channel types are therefore control channels for signaling and traffic channels for IP user data. Currently the following logical channel types … Read more

How Cell Selection in GSM

Once the mobile is switched on and the registered home PLMN was selected (e.x. SMART), it will next search for a BCCH frequency list, stored in its memory or in its SIM card. The list can have up to 32 BCCH frequencies for the mobile to scan. This reduces the time of cell selection, compared … Read more

What is GSM Cell Reselection and How it works.

When mobile has been selected successfully the mobile now will start reselection tasks. Perform Cell reselection measurement first Mobile will continuously make measurements on its neighboring cells (as  indicated by the BA list) to initiate cell reselection if necessary. At least 5 measurement sample per neighboring cell is needed. A running average of the received … Read more

What is Simulator and how it works

The development of the simulator that will be implemented can be classified in two phases. The first phase is the development of a simulator, capable for the investigation of the typical handover procedure. The second phase will include the implementation of the LAH algorithm that will consider the location of the user. Simulations that will … Read more
