LTE

Long Term Evolution is expected to step up wireless networks’ ability to handle increased demand for capacity and make networks more efficient. But once releases reach LTE-Advanced, the possibilities for smarter traffic increase, and LTE topology promises to change how carriers …

As mobile networks have evolved over time to an all-IP architecture, Carrier Ethernet has become an important standard for data transport and interfaces. The technology is widely used in telecom networks. TW Telecom isthe third-largest U.S. provider of Carrier Ethernet …

The Best LTE Network Architecture Diagrams Wireless operators are rapidly expanding their LTE networks to take advantage of additional efficiency, lower latency and the ability to handle ever-increasing data traffic. RCR Wireless presents a collection of LTE network architecture diagrams.

Long term evolution (LTE) is the standard for today’s wireless networks, and replaces third generation (3G) technology. LTE technology is a based on a 3GPP standard that provides for a downlink speed of up to 150 megabits per second (Mbps) and an …

Test Types and Parameters for LTE Driving Testing LTE drive tests are an important part of how wireless carriers determine whether their networks are performing well — and get a glimpse into their competitors’ network performance. There are multiple types …

When it comes to Long Term Evolution (LTE), it’s all about the user experience and therefore, user equipment testing is extremely important. LTE is cutting edge in terms of speed and network performance, but according to Aeroflex, in any real-life …

The arrival of Long Term Evolution (LTE) brought significantly different wireless network capabilities. Today’s wireless user wants and expects superior service and performance. To make sure this happens, extensive and frequent network testing needs to be done. And when it …

It’s a country ahead of the curve in many areas, but wireless innovation is not one of them. But don’t count them out just yet. One high-profile Thailand mobile operator is right on the cusp of launching Long Term Evolution …

LTE LTE LTE! It’s all we’ve been talking about. But as mentioned in previous articles, it is important to appreciate our past, GSM specifically. One integral part of the GSM network is the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), a non-voice service added …

With the continued massive rollout of Long Term Evolution (LTE) and more and more operators becoming obsessed with staying up to date, the issues of limited spectrum remains. Multi-layer heterogeneous network layout including small cell base stations are  key for …

Today, there actually are not many questions when it comes to the HSPA LTE debacle. The answer is clear, Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the future. Upgrading to LTE technology is part of the natural upgrade process. But, how do …

The LTE attach procedure call flow is a subject that may seem hard to understand. So let’s break it down. How does the LTE attach procedure call flow work?

Like any other wireless network, LTE (long term evolution) is only as good as its components. This means delivery of services is extremely important. This is now achieved with LTE MBMS (multimedia broadcast multicast services). LTE MBMS is a point-to-multipoint …

We talk over and over again about the complex Long Term Evolution (LTE) and its many components. One of these components, known as the non-access stratum (NAS), is highest stratum of the control plane between user experience (UE) and Mobility Management …

Today, LTE is on the tip of everyone’s tongues. It’s the up and coming, lighting fast data network we’ve been waiting for. When discussing LTE, however, there are many technical terms and many complexities. To help you better understand, an …
