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.
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 moreIs LTE architecture is IP based?
LTE Architecture Various interfaces are designed between these entities which include Uu between UE and eNodeB, X2 between two eNodeB, S1 between EPC and eNodeB. eNodeB has functionalities of both RNC and NodeB as per previous UMTS architecture. LTE is completely IP based network .

The infrastructure of 2G and 3G cellular networks are similar. They comprise an air interface between the user’s mobile device and the base station and two core networks; one for circuit-switched voice and another for packet-switched data .
Read moreWhat is UMTS architecture?
UMTS system uses the same core network as the GPRS and uses entirely new radio interface . The new radio network in UMTS is called UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) and is connected to the core network (CN) of GPRS via Iu interface.
