LTE ARCHITECTURE



Mobility Management Entity (MME)
MME is a controller at each node on the LTE access network. At UE in idle state (idlemode), MME is responsible for tracking and paging procedure which includes retransmission therein.
MME is responsible for selecting SGW (Serving SAE Gateway) which will be used during initial attach EU and the EU time to do intra-LTE handover.
Used for bearer control, a different viewR99/4 whichis still controlled by the gateway


Serving SAE Gateway (SGW)-Set the path and forwards the data in the form of packets of each user-As an anchor / liaison between the UE and the eNBat the time of the inter handover-As a liaison link between the 3GPP LTE technology with the technology

(in this case the 2G and 3G)

Gateway Packet Data Network (PDN GW)
-Provides for the UE 's relationship to the network packet-Provide a link relationship between LTE technology with technology
non 3GPP (WiMAX) and 3GPP2 (CDMA 20001X and EVDO)
