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

Non-contention vs Contention Access procedure in LTE

Random access procedure is performed for the following five events: • Initial access from RRC_IDLE; • RRC Connection Re-establishment procedure; • Handover; • DL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED requiring random access procedure; • UL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED requiring random access procedure; E.g. when UL synchronization status is “non-synchronized” or there are no PUCCH resources for … Read more
