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
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 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 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
