What does HSS do? Today, let’s dive into the role of the HSS – the Home Subscriber Server – in an LTE network. Since we’ve previously talked about elements like the MME and SGW, it’s a good time to understand how HSS fits into the big picture and how it interacts with these nodes to … Read more
What is an eNodeB? Let me explain the concept of eNodeB in LTE to you. The eNodeB, or Evolved Node B, is a key component of the LTE network. It acts as the base station that connects the user equipment (UE), such as your smartphone or tablet, to the core network. In simpler terms, it’s … Read more
What is RTR in Telecommunications? Today, let me explain RTR in telecommunications. You might have heard about the term RTR, and in telecommunications, it stands for “Real-Time Reporting.” It’s a crucial concept that involves tracking, monitoring, and providing feedback about the performance of a network in real-time. Real-time reporting allows network operators to assess the … Read more
Why is the SINR Low? Today, we’re going to dive into understanding why SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) might be low in a network. If you’ve been following along in previous articles, we’ve learned about SINR and how it affects the performance of mobile networks like LTE. Now, let’s explore the reasons why … Read more
What is PLMN Code in LTE? Today, we are going to explore the concept of the PLMN code in LTE. As we’ve discussed in previous articles, each network in a cellular system is identified by a unique identifier. The PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) code is one such identifier that is essential for mobile network … Read more
What is PLMN on Mobile? Today, let’s talk about something important when it comes to mobile networks: PLMN. You might have heard of PLMN while setting up your mobile device or while configuring network settings, but what exactly does it mean? Let me break it down for you so you can understand it clearly. What … Read more
What is meant by a WLAN? Today, I want to help you understand what a WLAN is and how it works, especially if you’re already familiar with topics like LTE, carrier aggregation, or radio access technologies we’ve discussed earlier. Just like LTE handles wide-area connectivity using cellular towers, WLAN takes care of wireless connections over … Read more
What is the difference between SNR and SINR? Today, let’s explore the difference between SNR and SINR — two terms that often come up when you’re dealing with LTE and wireless communication systems. If you’ve been following along with other topics like RSRP or signal strength metrics, this will connect well and deepen your understanding … Read more
What does a WLAN do? Today, as we explore the world of wireless communication, let’s take a deeper look into what a WLAN actually does. If you’ve been following along, you already know how LTE and other technologies rely on different access methods to deliver connectivity. Now, when we shift our attention toward WLAN—Wireless Local … Read more
What is the function of OFDMA? Today, let’s talk about OFDMA and how it actually functions within LTE. As you might remember from our earlier discussions on LTE access techniques, we’ve already come across the concept of multiple access methods. Now, it’s time to look specifically at Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), which is … Read more
