LTE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW The Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network architecture is a crucial component of modern wireless communication systems. In this overview, we will delve into the key aspects of LTE network architecture, including its structure, nodes, and functionalities. ENodeB: The Radio Access Node At the heart of the LTE network is the ENodeB (eNB), … Read more
Different Categories of UE in LTE Categories of UE in LTE is divided by its function which is as per below. Functionality: eNB obtains the UE radio capabilities via: • The S1AP initial setup request message • The X2AP in case of handover • The RRC in any other cases eNB sends the UE radio … Read more
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
In the C-plane, the NAS functional block is used for network attachment, authentication, setting up bearers, and mobility management. All NAS messages are ciphered and integrity protected by the MMEand UE. The radio resource control (RRC) layer in the eNB makes handover decisions based on neighbor cell measurements reported by the UE, performs paging of … Read more
Figure shows the network architecture of the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The EPC consists of three main nodes: the Mobility Management Entity (MME), the Serving Gateway (SGW) and the Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW). The MME may be co-located with the SGW, and the SGW may be co-located with the PGW. Hence, the standard allows … Read more
LTE core network also called EPC in SAE is responsible for the complete control of the UE and the creation of media. The main logical nodes LTE EPC are: • PDN Gateway (P-GW) • Serving Gateway (S-GW) • Mobility Management Entity (MME) PCRF of LTE Core Network The political control and charging rules is responsible … Read more
