The base station of the LTE network. The eNodeBs are normally interconnected with each other by means of an interface known as "X2" and to the EPC by means of the S1 interface, more specifically, to ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A power efficient transmission scheme for uplink LTE. A major advantage of SC-FDMA over the Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) scheme used in UMTS is that it achieves intra-cell ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

The node responsible for managing user data tunnels between the eNode-Bs in the radio network and the Packet Data Network Gateway (PDN-GW).

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A sublayer of radio interface Layer 3 existing in the control plane only which provides information transfer service to the non-access stratum.

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A protocol that handles segmentation and windowing of packets. Proper RLC parametrisation may reduce the probability of (end-to-end) TCP retransmissions, which are slow and are known to have a ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A set of 7 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain and 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. A physical resource block contains 84 Resource Elements and represents one slot in the ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

Node that provides the UE with access to a Packet Data Network (PDN) by assigning an IP address from the PDN to the UE. The PDN Gateway (P-GW) hosts the following functions (see 3GPP TS 23.401): - ...
