GnodeBRpFunction (Radio Processing)   QciProfileEndcConfig Route from   QCI s to parameters that impacts   QoS   for Data Radio Bearers .   Radio Bearer  is just a virtual concept. It defines how the UE data/signaling are treated when it travels across the network.   Ej . In LTE there are two types of radio Bearer To carry signaling. There are called the SRB (Signaling Radio Bearer)   To carry user data. There are associated with an EPS Bearer   RadioBearertable : Container for radio bearer configurations .   User plane link for the radio processing interface.   System created when a radio processing user plane link is established .   System deleted when a radio processing user plane link is released .   RDN   of this   MO   is RpUserPlaneLink ...

It ‘s possible to transmit the user plane between both nodes to the EPC but control plane is only possible on the ENDC side. GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) . S1  user plane is tunneled between the  LTE  node and  SGW  using  GTP-U .  UDP (User Datagram Protocol) S1AP (S1 Application Protocol) SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol)

In option 3 there are 3 deployment scenarios for NSA NR they consist of at least two nodes, one for LTE and one for NR. LTE-NR Dual Connectivity feature  -The LTE-NR Dual Connectivity feature introduces the support for  EN-DC  in the  NR  Node used in an  NSA  deployment. -The feature covers the fundamental interaction between  LTE  and NR in the  EN-DC  context. -The feature makes it possible to configure split  DRBs  with one leg in  LTE  and one leg in NR .   The benefits of this setup are the following:   Higher peak rate of network data traffic.   Sustainable capacity and performance growth. -CONTROL PLANE   Master Cell Group (MCG) SRB (SRB1, SRB2):  SRB (Signal Radio Bearer)   Direct SRB between the master node and the mobile device that can be used for conveying master node RRC messages which can also embed secondary node RRC configura...

The PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) carries the periodic downlink broadcast of the RRC MasterInformationBlock message. Note that system information from BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel) is scheduled for transmission in the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel). The PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) carries no higher layer information and is used for scheduling uplink and downlink resources. Scheduling decisions, however, are the responsibility of the MAC layer, therefore the scheduling information carried in the PDCCH is provided by MAC. Similarly the PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) is used to carry resource requests from UEs that will need to be processed by MAC. The PHICH (Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel) is used for downlink ACK/NACK of uplink transmissions from UEs in the PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel). It is a shared channel and uses a form of code multiplexing to provide multiple ACK/NACK responses. The PCFICH (Physical Control ...

With the removal of the RNC from the access network architecture, inter-eNB handover is negotiated and managed directly between eNBs using the X2-C interface. In LTE implementations that need to support macro diversity, the X2-U interface will carry handover traffic PDUs (Protocol Data Units) between eNBs. X2-C (control plane) signalling is carried by the X2AP (X2 Application Protocol), which travels over an SCTP association established between neighboring eNBs. X2AP performs duties similar to those performed by RNSAP (Radio Network Subsystem Application Protocol), which operates between neighboring RNCs over the Iur interface in UMTS R99 networks. X2-U (user plane) traffic is carried by the existing GTP-U (GPRS Tunnelling Protocol – User plane), as employed in UMTS R99 networks. The facilities provided by the X2-U interface are only expected to be required if macro-diversity handover is supported.  Both sub-types of the X2 interface travel over IP: SCTP/IP for the X2-C and U...

Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is another waveform configuration of the flexible new air interface. This non-orthogonal waveform facilitates a new multiple access scheme in which sparse codewords of multiple layers of devices are overlaid in code and power domains and carried over shared time-frequency resources. Typically, the multiplexing of multiple devices may become overloaded if the number of overlaid layers is more than the length of the multiplexed codewords. However, with SCMA, overloading is tolerable with moderate complexity of detection thanks to the reduced size of the SCMA multi-dimensional constellation and the sparseness of SCMA codewords. In SCMA, coded bits are directly mapped to multi-dimensional sparse codewords selected from layer-specific SCMA codebooks. The complexity of detection is controlled through two major factors. One is the sparseness level of codewords, and the second is the use of multidimensional constellations with a low number of projecti...

The growing traffic demand necessitates increasing the amount of spectrum that may be utilised by the 5G systems. High frequency bands in the centimeter wave (cmWave) and millimeter wave (mmWave) range will be adopted due to their potential for supporting wider channel bandwidths and the consequent capability to deliver high data rates. The new spectrum below 6GHz is expected to be allocated for mobile communication at the World Radio Conference (WRC) 2015, and the band above 6GHz expected to be allocated at WRC 2019, as shown in Figure. 5G network is a heterogeneous network which enables the cooperation between lower-frequency wide-area coverage network and high-frequency network. The consensus is higher frequency bands are the complementary bands to 5G whereas low frequency bands (<6GHz) are still the primary bands of 5G spectrum. High frequency also enables unified access and backhaul since the same radio resources is shared. It is expected to ...
