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
Currently, beam forming is only applicable for TDD version of LTE. The time synchronous version of LTE TDD on uplink and downlink also makes the implementation of beam forming more attractive than in LTE FDD. Beam forming scheme is a signal processing technology that is used to direct radio transmission in a chosen angular direction. … Read more
Here I write about what is main work of Acquisition Indicator Channel AICH in 3G There is 2 types main work of AICH Carrying the Acquisition Indicators (AI), SF = 256 There are 16 kinds of Signature to generate AI The Acquisition Indicator Channel (AICH) is a common downlink channel used to control the uplink … Read more
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
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
Based on DCI formats In LTE Three types of allocation are used: type 0: DCI formats 1, 2, 2A type 1: DCI formats 1, 2, 2A type 2: DCI formats1A, 1B, 1C, 1D One bit in the header is indicating if DCI formats 1, 2, 2A are of type 0 or type 1. Type 0: … Read more
When you are planning for LTE network then two points also needs to take care frequency band reframing requirement and location of operator coverage requirement for LTE network. Let’s check both in detail. Frequency Band Reframing Requirement for LTE Some of the most popular questions from operator these days are How they can perform reframing? … Read more
