QoS Mechanisms in Packet Networks There are Three Types of QoS Mechanisms in Packet Networks. Control Plane Mechanisms Data Plane Mechanisms Its Tradeoffs Control Plane Mechanisms Such mechanisms include QoS policy management, signaling, and admission control. QoS policy management is about defining and provisioning the various levels and types of QoS services, as well as … Read more
In LTE (Long-Term Evolution), traffic operations involve the management of data traffic within the network, ensuring efficient communication between User Equipment (UE) and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Here’s an overview of traffic operations in LTE: Data Transmission: LTE supports high-speed data transmission, enabling a variety of services such as web browsing, video streaming, and … Read more
Radio Bearer in LTE In Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communication, a “Radio Bearer” serves as a crucial link between the user equipment (UE) and the evolved NodeB (eNodeB), facilitating the exchange of data. Radio Bearers are classified into two main categories: Control Radio Bearers (CRBs) and Data Radio Bearers (DRBs). CRBs are responsible for transmitting … Read more
Eps bearer LTE EPS is a connection-oriented transmission network and, as such, it requires the establishment of a “virtual” connection between two endpoints (e.g. a UE and a PDN-GW) This virtual connection is called an “EPS Bearer” It provides a “bearer service”, i.e. a transport service with specific QoS attributes. The LTE QoS parameters associated … Read more
The LTE/EPC architecture is driven by the goal to optimize the system for packet data transfer. Remember that There are no circuit switched components in LTE/EPC. There is a new approach in the inter-connection between radio access network and core network. The EPS architecture is made up of an EPC (Packet Core Network, also referred … Read more
The MAC layer is oriented to the connections. Each connection corresponds to a service flow. The service flow defines the QoS parameters of PDU transmitted over the connection. The design core of the MAC protocol is the concept of service flow architecture on the connection. The service flow provides an uplink/downlink QoS management mechanism. An … Read more
Implementation margin is used to include non-ideal receiver effects such as channel estimation errors, tracking errors, quantization errors, and phase noise. This implementation margin or sensitivity degradation can be used to apply some margin to the link budget to account for devices from other vendors that may have larger tolerances from the specifications or for … Read more
The QoS Class Identifier (QCI) is a scalar that is used as a reference to access node-specific parameters that control bearer level packet forwarding treatment (e.g. scheduling weights, admission thresholds, queue management thresholds, link layer protocol configuration, etc.). The Allocation and Retention Priority (ARP) primarily allows one to decide whether a bearer establishment request can … Read more
