LTE – eNodeB, MME and SAE Function in Short

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

How Non Access Stratum procedures works in LTE

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

Non-contention vs Contention Access procedure in LTE

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

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
