How to Find MCC and MNC? Today, let’s discuss how to find the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC), which are crucial for identifying a mobile network in LTE and other cellular networks. As we’ve previously talked about the importance of network identification and how the system distinguishes different countries and networks, … Read more
What is the MCC? Today, let’s talk about the MCC, or Mobile Country Code. As we discussed previously about the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and its structure, MCC is a crucial part of identifying the mobile network’s country. Now, let me explain it to you in a more straightforward way. The Mobile Country Code … Read more
How to Determine SINR in LTE? Today, we’re going to discuss how to determine SINR (Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio) in LTE. As we learned earlier about the concept of signal quality and interference, SINR is a critical metric for determining the quality of the wireless connection. It’s the ratio between the strength of the signal you are … Read more
What is RSRP in WiFi? Today, we’re going to dive into the concept of RSRP, specifically in WiFi. If you’ve already come across RSRP in the context of LTE, you might be familiar with its role in measuring signal strength. But what about WiFi? You might wonder how this term fits into the WiFi world. … Read more
What is OFDMA and Should I Enable It? Today, let me explain OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), a key technology in LTE and Wi-Fi networks. If you’re dealing with wireless communications, understanding OFDMA is crucial because it plays an important role in how data is transmitted. Let me break it down for you in … Read more
Is WLAN and Wi-Fi the Same Thing? Today, we are going to dive into a common question: are WLAN and Wi-Fi the same thing? As we have learned before, wireless communication plays a major role in the way devices connect to the internet and to each other. Wi-Fi is often used interchangeably with WLAN, but … Read more
Why is WLAN Written Instead of Wi-Fi? Today, we’re going to dive into why you might see the term WLAN used instead of Wi-Fi in certain contexts. You may have noticed that some technical documents or specifications refer to WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), while many consumer-facing devices or advertisements use the term Wi-Fi. Let … Read more
How to Make WLAN Wi-Fi? Today, let me walk you through the process of creating a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for Wi-Fi. It’s a common requirement for both home and office setups to connect multiple devices wirelessly. I’ll guide you step by step on how to set it up, so you can have your … Read more
What is eNodeB ID? Today, as we continue diving into LTE concepts, let’s talk about eNodeB ID — something that closely ties into what we’ve already discussed about LTE architecture and network elements like cells, tracking areas, and resource blocks. I’ll walk you through what eNodeB ID is, why it’s important, and how it fits … Read more
What is SINR in Networks? Today, let’s understand a term that often comes up when we talk about signal quality in mobile networks — SINR, or Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio. You might remember when we previously explored RSRP and RSRQ; SINR fits right alongside them, helping you and me figure out how clean or usable a signal … Read more
