What is VHT Mode? Let me help you understand what VHT mode means, especially if you’re trying to make sense of your Wi-Fi settings or planning to optimize your network. VHT stands for Very High Throughput, and it’s a part of the IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. When you see VHT mode mentioned, it refers to … Read more
What is BPSK Modulation? Today, let’s explore BPSK modulation. You and I have already touched on LTE signal processing concepts like reference signals and carrier aggregation, and understanding modulation is another key piece. BPSK, or Binary Phase Shift Keying, is one of the simplest digital modulation techniques you’ll come across, and I’ll help you make … Read more
What is Digital Modulation? Today, let’s talk about digital modulation — something that you and I have touched on briefly when we discussed LTE, signal quality, and concepts like QAM or OFDM. To really understand how data is transmitted wirelessly or over any communication channel, digital modulation is one of those foundation blocks you and … Read more
What is VLR in Mobile Computing? Today, let’s explore the concept of VLR, or Visitor Location Register, which is a key element in mobile network operations. We’ve learned about various network elements before, like the Home Location Register (HLR) and the importance of databases in mobile systems. Now, let’s dive into how VLR fits into … Read more
What is TAC and TAI in LTE? Today, we are going to dive into two important concepts in LTE networks: TAC (Tracking Area Code) and TAI (Tracking Area Identity). If you are familiar with some of the earlier topics we discussed, you’ll notice that TAC and TAI play a crucial role in helping the network … Read more
What is a TAC in Networking? Today, let me explain what TAC, or Tracking Area Code, is in networking, especially in the context of LTE and mobile networks. As we learned about network identification and locations in previous articles, understanding TAC helps to identify specific areas within a network that help in the management of … Read more
What is the MCC and MNC? Today, let’s take a closer look at MCC and MNC, two important identifiers used in LTE and all other mobile networks. Since we’ve already talked about topics like Tracking Area and eNodeB, it’s a good time to understand how the network actually identifies where a mobile subscriber belongs. This … Read more
