Synchronization of signals in LTE

504 different physical-layer cell ids are composed of 168 different physical-layer cell id groups each of 3 physical layer ids within the group There are – primary synchronization signal –…

H-ARQ Mechanism in DL

1. The Transport block is transmitted to the UE on the PDSCH. 2. The UE receives it but it is erroneous. The TB is stored in a buffer. 3. The…

what is Radio Retransmission in LTE?

The radio retransmission mechanism is called Hybrid Automatic Request (H-ARQ). H-ARQ allows to retransmit fastly erroneous blocks between the eNodeB and the UE. It avoids long retransmission between 2 TCP…

What is Correlation in CDMA ?

Correlation Is a Measure of How Well a Given Signal Matches a Desired Code, The Desired Code is Compared to the Given Signal at Various Test times. Correlation is key…

Function of Control plane protocol stacks in LTE

The control plane includes the application protocol. It also includes the signaling bearers for transporting the application protocol messages. The application protocol is used for setting up bearers in the…

UL and DL cell based scheduler

The scheduling is performed on cell basis. The two main functions are to decide which UE(s) shall be scheduled, the number of resources and the MCS to be  applied. Furthermore…

Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) in LTE

Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) leads to higher efficiency in transmission and error correction. There is one HARQ entity per UE with 8 stop-and-wait processes for each HARQ entity. Both incremental redundancy…

Transport Channel Types of LTE

Transport channels are used as the basic transmission service offered by layer 1 to MAC. MAC will use transport channels to multiplex and demultiplex logical channels onto and from them….

Radio Link Control RLC in LTE

Here i write about Radio Link Control -RLC in LTE in a simple word. The RLC layer is located between the PDCP ( the “top” layer) layer and MAC layer…

S1 and X2 Bandwidth Dimensioning Procedure

The figure below denotes the location of the X2 and S1 link with respect to the other network components within the LTE network. In general, the traffic on S1 interface…
