Why not to use VoIP?

Why Not to Use VoIP? Today, I’ll explain why VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) might not always be the best choice for some users, even though it’s widely used for cost-effective communication. While VoIP has transformed the way we communicate, offering advantages like lower call costs and flexibility, there are several reasons why it may … Read more

Why OFDM use was not popular in the initial period?

Why OFDM Use Was Not Popular in the Initial Period? Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely used method in modern wireless communication systems, including LTE and Wi-Fi. However, it wasn’t always popular in the early stages of wireless communication development. Let’s dive into why OFDM wasn’t embraced initially and how it gained popularity … Read more

Why is RSRQ important?

Why is RSRQ Important? In LTE networks, RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) is a critical metric that plays a vital role in ensuring efficient communication. To understand its importance, let’s break down what RSRQ is and how it affects your mobile experience. RSRQ is essentially a measurement used by the network to evaluate the quality … Read more

Why is RSRQ poor?

Why is RSRQ Poor? When you’re using an LTE network, you might have heard of RSRQ, or Reference Signal Received Quality. It’s an essential metric used to assess the quality of your mobile connection. RSRQ helps determine the reliability and strength of the signal you receive from the network. But what happens when RSRQ is … Read more

Why LTE is called flat architecture?

Why LTE is Called Flat Architecture? Let me walk you through why LTE is often referred to as having a “flat architecture.” Understanding this concept is essential because it highlights how LTE differs from earlier generations of mobile networks, like 2G and 3G, and how it brings improvements in speed, capacity, and latency. In previous … Read more

Why LTE uses OFDMA for downlink and SC-FDMA for uplink?

Why LTE Uses OFDMA for Downlink and SC-FDMA for Uplink? In LTE, you’ll find that the downlink and uplink use different multiple access technologies: **OFDMA** (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) for downlink and **SC-FDMA** (Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) for uplink. Let me explain the reasons behind this choice in a way that you can … Read more

Why is GTP used in LTE?

Why is GTP used in LTE? Let me explain GTP and its significance in LTE networks. If you’ve been following our discussions about LTE, you’ll know that it is a highly complex system that enables fast mobile data, voice services, and more. One of the critical protocols used within LTE networks is GTP, which stands … Read more

Why is it called LTE and not 4G?

Why is it called LTE and not 4G? Let’s dive into why LTE (Long Term Evolution) is often called something other than 4G, despite its widespread association with the fourth generation of mobile networks. If you’ve been following mobile network technologies, you might have noticed that while LTE is often referred to as 4G, technically, … Read more

Why is LTE called Long Term Evolution?

Why is LTE Called Long Term Evolution? Let me explain why LTE is referred to as “Long Term Evolution” (LTE). As we’ve learned earlier, LTE is the next-generation mobile communication standard after 3G, designed to offer higher speeds and more efficient use of spectrum. The term “Long Term Evolution” has a specific meaning tied to … Read more

Why does LTE have hard handover?

Why does LTE have hard handover? In LTE networks, handover refers to the process of transferring an active connection from one cell to another without interrupting the service. Handovers are necessary when a user moves out of the coverage area of the current cell and into the coverage area of another cell. LTE, being a … Read more
