Flexible RLC PDU Size was interdicted in Release 7 in order to decrease RLC protocol overhead and to avoid sequence number stalling

Flexible RLC is used with MAC-ehs in Release 7. Mac-ehs is a new feature interdicted in Release 7 to increase the downlink throughput.

UMTS-RLCDecoder is small but powerful tool for decoding RLC header information both for Acknowledged Mode RLC PDUs and Unacknowledged Mode RLC PDUs.

It Can decode the following

• RLC AMD PDU Header and Length Indicator
• RLC Control PDUs including SUFIs
• RLC UMD PDU header and Length Indicator

We have 8 google wave invitations for the first 8. Leave a comment in the post.

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. The LTE project was initiated in November 2004 and the focus was on enhancing the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and optimizing the 3GPP’s radio access architecture.

The following areas are covered:

• What is LTE?
• 3GPP System Evolution
• System requirements for LTE development
• LTE System Architecture

Whenever PLMN has been selected by NAS, the UE shall attempt to camp on the selected cell. This tutorial tells how a particular cell is selected.

High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is introduced in 3GPP Release 6 standards to improve the uplink UE data rate which was significantly low up to Release 5. To improve the uplink data rate some new functionality are added:

1. New MAC entities: MAC-e/es in UE and MAC-e in NodeB and MAC-es in RNC.
2. Transport channel: E-DCH
3. Physical channels: E-DPDCH/DPCCH, E-HICH, E-RGCH, E-AGCH
4. Transmission Time Interval: 2 ms or 10 ms
5. SF = 2 can be used
6. Fast Layer 1 transmission and retransmission
7. Hybrid- ARQ using soft combining and incremental redundancies
8. NodeB control grants or data rate
9. New Frame Protocol in Iub/Iur interface (E-DCH FP)

SRNS relocation is a procedure used during mobility scenarios when Control of the Serving Radio Network Subsystem (SRNS) is changed to another Radio Network Subsystem (RNS)

In this tutorial following topics are discussed:

• Relocation Procedure
• Serving RNS Relocation Procedure
• Combined Hard Handover and SRNS Relocation Procedure
