What is SINR in LTE?

What is SINR in LTE? Let me explain to you what SINR means in LTE, and why it plays such an important role in your overall network experience. SINR stands for Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio, and it gives us a good measure of how strong and clean your signal is compared to the interference and noise around … Read more

What is frequency hopping radio?

What is Frequency Hopping Radio? Frequency hopping is a technique used in radio communications where the transmission frequency rapidly changes according to a predefined sequence. This technique is widely used to improve the performance, security, and reliability of wireless communication systems. Let me explain it in detail so you can understand how it works and … Read more

Is VoLTE safe?

Is VoLTE Safe? Let me explain the safety of VoLTE (Voice over LTE), which has become an integral part of modern mobile networks. As we’ve discussed in previous articles, VoLTE allows users to make high-quality voice calls over the LTE network, rather than traditional circuit-switched networks. While VoLTE brings several advantages in terms of call … Read more

What is RSRQ signal?

What is RSRQ Signal? In LTE networks, the RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) signal plays a crucial role in determining the overall signal quality for a user equipment (UE). It’s one of the key measurements used by the LTE network to assess the performance and quality of the communication link. Let’s dive into understanding what … Read more

What is OFDMA technology?

What is OFDMA Technology? Let me explain you OFDMA, which stands for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access. This is one of the core technologies used in LTE and many other modern wireless communication systems. If you’ve already gone through our previous discussions on LTE architecture or multiple access techniques, you’ll find this topic connects well. … Read more

What happens if the EPC light comes on?

What Happens if the EPC Light Comes On? Let’s dive into what happens when the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) light comes on in your network device, and why it might be a cause for concern. If you’re using a device connected to an LTE network or 4G/5G system, you may notice an EPC light indicator … Read more

What is RSRP?

What is RSRP? Let me explain the concept of RSRP, or Reference Signal Received Power, in LTE. As we have discussed in earlier articles, the performance of an LTE network is heavily dependent on the strength and quality of the signal. One of the key parameters that help measure the quality of the signal is … Read more

What should RSRP be like?

What Should RSRP Be Like? When it comes to mobile networks, one important measurement you need to understand is RSRP, which stands for Reference Signal Received Power. This measurement plays a crucial role in determining the signal strength that your device is receiving from the LTE base station, also known as the eNodeB. So, let’s … Read more

What is the difference between OFDM and OFDMA?

What is the difference between OFDM and OFDMA? Let me explain this in a simple way so you can clearly understand the difference between OFDM and OFDMA. Both are essential modulation techniques used in wireless communication systems like LTE and Wi-Fi. But while they sound similar, they serve different purposes in how data is transmitted. … Read more

What does VoLTE enabled mean?

What does VoLTE Enabled Mean? Let me walk you through the concept of VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and what it means when a device is described as “VoLTE enabled.” To put it simply, VoLTE is a technology that allows voice calls to be made over an LTE (Long-Term Evolution) network, which is primarily designed for … Read more
