Radio Protocol Architecture in LTE The EUTRAN radio protocol model specifies the protocols terminated between UE and eNB. The protocol stack follows the standard guidelines for radio protocol architectures (ITU-R M1035) and is thus quite similar to the WCDMA protocol stack of UMTS. The protocol stack defines three layers: the physical layer (layer 1), data … Read more
RRC uses the following states: RRC_Idle: •The UE is not connected. There is no radio link. •The network knows that the UE is present on the network and is able to reach it in case of incoming call. •The UE switches in idle mode when it is connected and there is no traffic to save … Read more
Transmitting: After being processed at the MAC layer, the downlink data is sent to the physical layer inthe format of MAC PDU. The MAC PDU arranges the data block size according to the allocation results of radio resources at the MAC layer. After the data packets are processed through the channel coding, modulation, and IFFT … Read more
The Radio Resource Connection (RRC) protocol is implemented in the eNodeB and the UE. In WCDMA, it is implemented in the RNC! RRC is the highest protocol in the control plane on the radio side. The RRC protocol allows: 2 instances (eNodeB and UE) to exchange signaling messages. to forward signaling messages coming from the … Read more
