The Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol is used in on the Air Interface. The major functions of the RRC protocol include connection establishment and...
5G NG Identities (UE and Network Identifiers) UE Identifiers C-RNTI: This is a unique identification, which is used as an identifier of the RRC Connection and for scheduling purposes Temporary C-RNTI: This identification used for the random access procedure, Random value for contention resolution: during some transient states, the UE is temporarily identified with a random value used for contention resolution purposes Multi C-RNTI: In Dual Connectivity case, two C-RNTIs are independently allocated to the UE: one for MCG(Master Cell Group), and one for SCG (Slave Cell Group) Xx-RNTI: This...
Spectral Efficiency : 5G-NR and 4G-LTE What do you think of when you hear word “spectral efficiency?” The answer will come, it has to do with the amount of information that fits in a given channel bandwidth or one just say how efficiently can that piece of spectrum be used to transmit information. Before we digging into the details of spectral efficiency, it’s important to understand that there is a hard limit to how much data can be transmitted in a given bandwidth and this limit is well-known as Shannon-Hartley...
