Step of RRC Connection Setup in LTE

When the UE is powered up, it has to be RRC connected to be able to exchange data and signaling with the network. After the RRC connection, the Initial network attach allows to establish all the bearers to carry the data from the UE to the gateway. After the RRC connection, Signaling Radio Bearers (SRBs) … Read more

Function of User plane protocol stacks in LTE

The user plane includes the data streams and the data bearers for the data streams. The data streams are characterized by one or more frame protocols specified for that interface. Figure shows “User-plane protocol stack” comprise Medium Access Control (MAC), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), Radio Link Control (RLC) and Physical (PHY) sub layers. Apart … Read more
