Signalling in E-UTRAN: X2 Interface

in Tutorial, presentation, E-UTRAN, LTE

“Signalling in E-UTRAN/LTE” course focuses on signalling between EPS/LTE nodes within E-UTRAN. During the course all protocols and signalling procedures on all interfaces (i.e. Uu, X2 and S1) within E-UTRAN are presented in details. The course also describes overview of EPS architecture and system wide signalling procedures, including EPC - E-UTRAN interworking.

Posted on 23. Dec, 2012 by agaur in Blog, aSRVCC, eSRVCC, GERAN, rSRVCC, SRVCC, vSRVCC, E-UTRAN, UTRAN, LTE

Along with LTE introduction, 3GPP also standardized Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) in Release 8 specifications to provide seamless continuity when an UE handovers from LTE coverage (E-UTRAN) to UMTS/GSM coverage (UTRAN/GERAN).

LTE UE Classes

Posted on 11. Jun, 2010 by jai in Blog, UE, E-UTRAN, GPRS, LTE, UMTS

UE class determines the speed at which data can be transferred in uplink and downlink directions. For GPRS & UMTS, most of us already are aware of it.

3GPP has already started work on Release 11. See objectives of features & study items from 3GPP Work Items below.

LTE Handovers - Intra E-UTRAN Handover

Posted on 10. Apr, 2010 by LteWorld in Blog, Handover, Intra, Intra E-UTRAN Handover, SGW, E-UTRAN, eNB, LTE, MME

Intra E-UTRAN Handover is used to hand over a UE from a source eNodeB to a target eNodeB using X2 when the MME is unchanged. In the scenario described here Serving GW is also unchanged.

LTE Advanced: Evolution of LTE

Posted on 14. Aug, 2009 by LteWorld in Blog, E-UTRAN, HSUPA, HSDPA, EPC, HSPA, LTE, LTE Advanced, LteWorld

August 14, 2009 | LTE standards are in matured state now with release 8 frozen. While LTE Advanced is still under works. Often the LTE standard is seen as 4G standard which is not true. 3.9G is more acceptable for LTE. So why it is not 4G? Answer is quite simple - LTE does not fulfill all requirements of ITU 4G definition.
