LTE Network Architecture

 

MME(Mobility Management Entity) :

Manages UE access network and mobility, as well as establishing the bearer path for UE's. It is responsible for selecting the S-GW for a UE at the initial join and at a time of intra- LTE Handover.

S-GW(Serving Gateway) :

S-GW will act as Router, which will forward user data to P-GW. S-GW creates Bearer table.

P-GW(Packet Data Network Gateway) :

Allocates QOS(Quality of service) to those Bearer table. Allocates the IP address to the UE.

HSS(Home Subscriber Server) :

User's Subscription Profile will be stored in the HSS.MME will download the subscription profile from the HSS when any mobile will be Registered to the MME.

PDN(Packet Data Network) :

PDN is the point with which user can communicate with outside world.

3 Types of PDN :

  1. Internet
  2. Corporate VPN
  3. IMS

DRB= Data Radio Bearer

GTPU= GPRS Tunneling Protocol User Plane

GTPC= GPRS Tunneling Protocol Control Plane

Accessibility KPI

Image
  Accessibility  :If A UE Requested for the some services to the system and System will Response UE Properly, It means Accessibility is  completed successfully. Accessibility KPIs are used to measure how successfully user is able to access the Network. Divided in 3 segments. RRC Phase S1 Signaling Phase E-RAB Phase In the Call Flow System, after the RACH Procedure,2nd Procedure comes the RRC Phase. RRC Rejection due to Congestion: May be the Reason eNB will be busy or it is very congested, It don't have Resources, So that it can allow new user.                                                How we can Reduce the Congestion Decrease the UE Inactive Timer to a smaller value( If we reduce this timer, UE will less stay in RRC connected mode, more offen release by enb) . This will initiate early release for the users, Hence Load will be reduced. However this can increase the signaling load as idle user can try to come back to network more frequently which can increase CPU usage of the e

LTE Call Flow

 User Equipment send the Random access preamble(Through RACH Channel) to eNodeB for Network access. eNodeB received the message and send the RA-Response with allotting a temporary identity named C-RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity).   After receiving the RA-response from eNodeB, User Equipment send the request for RRC Connection(With Received C-RNTI) to eNodeB. eNodeB send the RRC Connection Setup to User Equipment.  After established the RRC Connection between eNodeB & User Equipment. User send the first NAS message for Attach to core Network(with IMSI) and PDN Connection Request. 5(ii) eNodeB forward this message to connected MME. MME look this message and send the IMSI to HSS for authentication. IMSI is already stored in HSS.HSS verify it and send the K,RAND and XRES to MME.6(ii) MME send the response given by HSS to User Equipment via eNodeB for authentication. After receiving the RAND value User Equipment compute value and find the result RES.RES value send to the MM
