For real-time service. UM Unacknowledged Mode Without retransmission, but error statistics (BLER) It can be used for the … Read more

State of RRC in LTE

State of RRC in LTE 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 … Read more

Establishment and Maintenance of the RRC connection in LTE

Establishment and Maintenance of the RRC connection in LTE In Long-Term Evolution (LTE), the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining the communication link between the User Equipment (UE) and the Evolved NodeB (eNB). The process involves several steps: RRC Connection Establishment: Random Access Procedure: The UE initiates communication … Read more

Radio Resource Connection (RRC) protocol in LTE

Radio Resource Connection (RRC) protocol in LTE 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. … Read more

Radio Protocol Stack Overview in LTE

Radio Protocol Stack Overview in LTE In the C-plane, the NAS functional block is used for network attachment, authentication, setting up bearers, and mobility management. All NAS messages are ciphered and integrity protected by the MMEand UE. The radio resource control (RRC) layer in the eNB makes handover decisions based on neighbor cell measurements reported … Read more

Resource Element Group in LTE

Resource Element Group in LTE In Long-Term Evolution (LTE), Resource Element Group (REG) is a fundamental concept related to physical layer resources. It is essentially a grouping of Resource Elements (REs), which are the smallest units of the time-frequency grid in LTE. The REG is used to allocate resources for transmission and reception. Now, let’s … Read more

Resource Block & Physical Resource Block in LTE

Resource Block & Physical Resource Block in LTE What is Resource block in lte? :- A resource block is the smallest unit of resources which allocated to a user. The resource block is 1 slot long in time and 180 kHz wide in frequency. Resource Block Multiplex multiple users both in time and frequency, together … Read more

How LTE TDD Subframe Allocations?

How LTE TDD Subframe Allocations? One of the advantages of using LTE TDD is that it is possible to dynamically change the up and downlink balance and characteristics to meet the load conditions. In order that this can be achieved in an ordered fashion, a total of seven up / downlink configurations have been set … Read more

How is Basic Frame Structure in LTE ?

How is Basic Frame Structure in LTE ? In FDD, the DL and UL Radio Frames (RFs) are not on the same carrier. The RF frame is called Type 1 by the 3GPP. The RF length is 10 ms. The radio frame is made up of 10 sub-frames of 1 ms. Each sub-frame is made … Read more

OFDMA Parameter for LTE

OFDMA Parameter for LTE How Many OFDMA Parameter for LTE? Which is OFDMA Parameter for LTE ? The width of a Sub-carrier is 15 kHz whatever the bandwidth The bandwidths are: 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz Note that in LA1.1, only 5, 10 MHz are implemented The symbol duration is always the … Read more
