In the 4G architecture we are working with, base stations are invisible to the IP layer of terminals . When a terminal sends an IP packet, it sends it to the gateway that all base stations are connected to. Base stations only relay layer 2 packets between terminals and the gateway.
Read moreHow does an LTE network work?
How Does LTE Work? LTE moves large packets of data to an internet protocol system (IPS) . … Lower transfer latency means data moves faster, providing the basic benefit of being able to do things with mobile devices that the slower speeds of earlier-generation cellular networks simply couldn’t accomplish.
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.
