The Network Security Configuration feature lets apps customize their network security settings in a safe, declarative configuration file without modifying app code. These settings can be configured for specific domains and for a specific app. The key capabilities of this feature are as follows: Custom trust anchors: Customize which Certificate Authorities (CA) are trusted for an … Read more

LTE Overview

LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access Network), introduced in 3GPP R8, is the access part of the Evolved Packet System (EPS). The main requirements for the new access network are high spectral efficiency, high peak data rates, short round trip time as well as flexibility in frequency and bandwidth. Figure … Read more

PSS and SSS (LTE Synchronization)

 PSS and SSS (LTE Synchronization) After power-up, the UE  tries to obtain time and frequency synchronization with the system. For this, UE needs to detect signals to find out where the frame begins and ends. LTE define two type of synchronization signals: Primary synchronization signal (PSS) Secondary synchronization signal (SSS) UE uses the Synchronization Signals to: … Read more

MASTER INFORMATION BLOCK (MIB)

MASTER INFORMATION BLOCK (MIB) is the broadcast information transmitted by eNodeB at periodically. After Decoding the PSS and SSS information UE have the information of Physical cell ID and not it can descramble the further information which Master information Block, which will provide the System bandwidth, Antenna configuration , System frame number. Bits and Bytes … Read more

LTE Channels: Logical, Transport and Physical Channels Details and Mapping

What is a Channel in LTE? The information flows between the different protocols layers are known as channels. These are used to segregate the different types of data and allow them to be transported across different layers. These channels provide interfaces to each layers within the LTE protocol stack and enable an orderly and defined segregation … Read more

Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) in LTE FDD

HARQ stands for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request. HARQ = ARQ + FEC (Forward Error Correction)/Soft Combining. ARQ refers to Automatic Repeat Request i.e. if sender doesn’t receive Acknowledgement (ACK) before timeout, the receiver discards the bad packet and sender shall re-transmits the packet. ARQ procedure is illustrated below : Soft Combining is an error correction technique in which the bad packets … Read more
