Modulation Techniques in LTE

LTE devices use several modulation techniques to modulate data and control information. These modulation techniques include: QPSK (2 bits per symbol), 16QAM (4 bits per symbol), and 64QAM (6 bits…

UL Allocation (SC-FDMA) in LTE

SC-FDMA utilizes single carrier modulation, DFT-spread orthogonal frequency multiplexing, and frequency domain equalization. LTE uses OFDMA on the DL. It allocates DL bandwidth to the user based on resource blocks,…

Principle of Power control in LTE

Power control – already being applied in 2nd and 3rd generation networks – has high potential for improvement of the performance of mobile networks. Main benefits are: 1. It can…

How Seamless Handover in LTE

Here i write very small notes about How Seamless Handover in LTE which is very basic and some require techniques for real time data handover in LTE. Seamless handover is…

How LTE Security Implementation through encryption

Implement security through encryption (both control plane (RRC) data and user plane data) and integrity protection (for control plane (RRC) data only), it is the responsibility PDCP layer. A PDCP…

How Header Compression in LTE

One of the main functions of the PDCP header compression is using Header Compression (ROHC) robust protocol defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) . In LTE, header compression is…

How Grouped UE Closed Subscriber

Closed Subscriber Group LTE supports the existence of cells which are only available for a limited set of EEC- A closed Subscriber Group (CSG). In order to prevent attempts to…

Strongest cell selection criteria for UE in LTE

Cell selection consists of the UE seeking stronger cell on all supported frequencies of each transport supported rat until it finds a suitable cell. The main requirement for cell selection…
