Modulation in LTE

The 3G LTE uses 3 Quadrature Amplitude Modulations (QAMs) depending on the radio quality. QAM uses both the amplitude and the phase. LTE devices use QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM to modulate data and control information. The eNodeB supports all of these modulation techniques for the downlink direction. However, 64QAM is optional in the uplink direction. … Read more

Evolved Packet Core and Quality of Service QOS in LTE

The LTE related core network evolution is referred to as Evolved Packet Core (EPC). LTE architecture is based on the system architecture evolution (SAE) model defined by the 3G Partnership Project (3GPP). EPC consists of the following network elements: Mobility Management Entity The Mobility Management Entity (MME) is the LTE mobility management and session management … Read more

How to consider Interference Protection and Isolation Requirement in LTE Plan

Similar to any radio network, standard isolation would be required if equipment from different vendors are to be combined. Which including guard band, filtering as well as vertical/horizontal separation. In addition, indoor DAS (distributed antenna system) may contribute to interference problem particularly on the uplink due to PIM related inter-modulation, over drive of input RF … Read more
