The protocol stack functions consist of the Medium Access Control (MAC), Radio Link Control (RLC), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), and Radio Resource Control (RRC). LTE is the latest generation of the 3GPP standards. The LTE standard specifies an IP-only network supporting data rates up to 150 Mbps.
Read moreWhat is 5G network architecture?
The 5G core uses a cloud-aligned service-based architecture (SBA) to support authentication, security, session management and aggregation of traffic from connected devices , all of which requires the complex interconnection of network functions, as shown in the 5G core diagram.
Read moreWhat is LTE and its architecture?
The high-level network architecture of LTE is comprised of following three main components: The User Equipment (UE). The Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). The Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
Read moreWhy is LTE flat architecture?
The architecture in Release 8 LTE has only two network elements: base station in the radio network and Access Gateway (a-GW) in the core network. … The flat network architecture reduces the network latency and thus improves the overall end user performance .
Read moreWhat is LTE infrastructure?
The infrastructure of an LTE cellular network comprises the E-UTRA/E-UTRAN air interface and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), which includes the gateways, mobility management and subscriber databases . The air interface and packet core enable the LTE mobile user to connect to external data networks such as the Internet.
