1. INTRODUCYION
The LTE arrange engineering is composed with the objective of
supporting parcel exchanged activity with consistent portability, nature of
administration (QoS) and insignificant inactivity. A bundle exchanged approach
takes into account the supporting of all administrations including voice
through parcel associations. The outcome in a much rearranged compliment design
with just two sorts of hub in particular developed Node-B (eNB) and portability
administration substance/passage (MME/GW). This is as opposed to numerous more
system hubs in the current progressive system design of the 3G framework. One
noteworthy change is that the radio system controller (RNC) is dispensed with from
the information way and its capacities are currently consolidated in eNB. A
portion of the advantages of a solitary hub in the get to network are lessened
dormancy and the dissemination of the RNC handling load into numerous eNBs. The
end of the RNC in the get to network was conceivable halfway in light of the
fact that the LTE framework does not bolster full scale assorted qualities or
delicate handoff.
2. LTE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
All the system interfaces depend on IP conventions. The eNBs are
interconnected by methods for a X2 interface and to the MME/GW element by
methods for a S1 interface as appeared in Figure1. The S1 interface underpins a
many-to-numerous connection between MME/GW and eNBs.
The useful split amongst eNB and MME/GW is appeared in Figure 2
Two intelligent door substances to be specific the serving portal (S-GW) and
the bundle information organize entryway (P-GW) is characterized. The S-GW goes
about as a nearby portability stay sending and getting bundles to and from the
eNB serving the UE. The P-GW interfaces with outside parcel information systems
(PDNs, for example, the Internet and the IMS. The P-GW additionally plays out a
few IP capacities, for example, address designation, strategy authorization, and
parcel sifting and steering.
The MME is a flagging just element and thus client IP parcels
don't experience MME. Favorable position of a different system element for
flagging is that the system limit with regards to flagging and movement can
develop autonomously. The principle elements of MME are sit mode UE achieve
capacity including the control and execution of paging retransmission,
following range list administration, meandering, verification, approval,
P-GW/S-GW determination, and carrier administration including devoted conveyor foundation,
security arrangements and NAS flagging, and so on.
Developed Node-B executes Node-B works and conventions generally
actualized in RNC. The fundamental elements of eNB are header pressure,
figuring and solid conveyance of bundles. On the control side, eNB joins
capacities, for example, confirmation control and radio asset administration. A
portion of the advantages of a solitary hub in the get to network are
diminished dormancy and the appropriation of RNC the system side are presently
ended in eNB.
2.1 PROTOCOL STACK AND CONYTOL PLANE
The client plane convention stack is given in Figure 3.We note
that parcel information joining convention (PDCP) and radio connection control
(RLC) layers generally ended in RNC on Figure 4 demonstrates the control plane
convention stack.
We take note of that RRC usefulness customarily executed in RNC is
presently fused into eNB. The RLC and MAC layers play out some
indistinguishable capacities from they accomplish for the client plane. The
capacities performed by the RRC incorporate framework data communicate, paging,
radio carrier control, RRC association administration, portability capacities
and UE estimation revealing and control. The non-get to stratum (NAS)
convention ended in the MME on the system side and at the UE on the terminal
side performs capacities, for example, EPS (developed bundle framework)
conveyor administration, confirmation and security control, and so on.
The S1 and X2 interface convention stacks are appeared in Figures
2.5 and 2.6 respectively. We take note of that comparable conventions are
utilized on these two interfaces. The S1 client plane interface (S1-U) is
characterized between the eNB and the S-GW. The S1-U interface utilizes GTP-U
(GPRS burrowing convention - client information burrowing) on UDP/IP transport
and gives non-ensured conveyance of client plane PDUs between the eNB and the
S-GW. The GTP-U is a generally straightforward IP based burrowing convention
that grants many passages between each arrangement of end focuses. The S1
control plane interface (S1-MME) is characterized as being between the eNB and
the MME. Like the client plane, the vehicle organize layer is based on IP
transport and for the solid
Transport of flagging messages SCTP (stream control transmission convention)
is utilized on top of IP the SCTP convention works comparably to TCP
guaranteeing solid, in-succession transport of messages with blockage control.
The application layer flagging conventions are alluded to as S1 application
convention (S1-AP) and X2 application convention (X2-AP) for S1 and X2
interface control planes separately.
3. QOS AND BEARER SERVICE ARCHITECTURE
Applications, for example, VoIP, web perusing, video communication
and video gushing have exceptional QoS needs. In this manner, a critical
component of any all-parcel system is the arrangement of a QoS instrument to
empower separation of bundle streams in light of QoS prerequisites. In EPS, QoS
streams called EPS bearers are set up between the UE and the P-GW as appeared
in Figure 7. A radio carrier transports the bundles of an EPS conveyor between
a UE and an eNB. Every IP stream (e.g. VoIP) is related with an alternate EPS
carrier and the system can organize movement as needs be.
While accepting an IP bundle from the Internet, P-GW performs
parcel arrangement in view of certain predefined parameters and sends it a
fitting EPS carrier. In view of the EPS carrier, eNB maps bundles to the
fitting radio QoS conveyor. There is coordinated mapping between an EPS conveyor
and a radio carrier.
4. LAYER 2 STRUCTURES
The layer 2 of LTE comprises of three sub layers in particular
medium get to control, radio connection control (RLC) and parcel information
meeting convention (PDCP). The administration get to point (SAP) between the
physical (PHY) layer and the MAC sub layer give the vehicle channels while the
SAP between the MAC and RLC sub layers give the sensible channels. The MAC sub
layer performs multiplexing of coherent channels on to the vehicle channels.
The downlink and uplink layer 2 structures are given in Figures 8
and 9 individually. The distinction amongst downlink and uplink structures is
that in the downlink, the MAC sub layer additionally handles the need among UEs
notwithstanding need taking care of among the coherent channels of a solitary
UE. Alternate capacities performed by the MAC sub layers in both downlink and
uplink incorporate mapping between the intelligent and the vehicle channels.
Multiplexing of RLC bundle information units (PDU), cushioning,
transport arrange determination and half and half ARQ (HARQ).
The primary administrations and elements of the RLC sub layers
incorporate division, ARQ in-grouping conveyance and copy discovery, and so on.
The in-succession conveyance of upper layer PDUs is not ensured at handover.
The dependability of RLC can be arranged to either recognize mode (AM) or UN-recognize
mode (UM) exchanges. The UM mode can be utilized for radio bearers that can
endure some misfortune. In AM mode, ARQ usefulness of RLC Retransmits transport
obstructs that fizzle recuperation by HARQ. The recuperation at HARQ may flop
because of half breed ARQ NACK to ACK mistake or on the grounds that the
greatest number of retransmission endeavors is come to. For this situation, the
applicable transmitting ARQ substances are advised and potential
retransmissions and re-division can be started.
The PDCP layer performs capacities, for example, header pressure
and decompression, figuring and in-succession conveyance and copy identification
at handover for RLCAM, and so on. The header pressure and decompression is
performed utilizing the strong header pressure (ROHC) convention. 5.1 Downlink
consistent, transport and physical channels
4.1 DOWNLINK LOGICAL, TRANSPORT AND PHYSICAL CHANNELS
The connection between downlink sensible, transport and physical
diverts is appeared in Figure 10. An intelligent channel is characterized by
the kind of data it bearers. The consistent channels are further separated into
control channels and movement channels. The control channels convey
control-plane data, while movement channels convey client plane data.
In the downlink, five control channels and two movement channels
are characterized. The downlink control channel utilized for paging data
exchange is alluded to as the paging control channel (PCCH). This channel is
utilized when the system has no learning about the area cell of the UE. The
channel that conveys framework control data is alluded to as the communicate
control channel (BCCH). Two channels to be specific the regular control channel
(CCCH) and the devoted control channel (DCCH) can convey data between the
system and the UE. The CCCH is utilized for UEs that have no RRC association
while DCCH is utilized for UEs that have a RRC association. The control channel
utilized for the transmission of MBMS control data is alluded to as the
multicast control channel (MCCH). The MCCH is utilized by just those UEs
accepting MBMS.
The two activity directs in the downlink are the devoted movement
channel (DTCH) and the multicast movement channel (MTCH). A DTCH is an indicate
direct channel devoted toward a solitary UE for the transmission of client
data. A MTCH is an indicate multipoint channel utilized for the transmission of
client activity to UEs getting MBMS. The paging control channel is mapped to a
vehicle channel alluded to as paging channel (PCH). The PCH bolsters broken
gathering (DRX) to empower UE control sparing. A DRX cycle is shown to the UE
by the system. The BCCH is mapped to either a vehicle channel alluded to as a
communicate channel (BCH) or to the downlink shared channel (DLSCH).
The BCH is described by a settled pre-characterized organize as
this is the main channel UE gets subsequent to procuring synchronization to the
phone. The MCCH and MTCH are either mapped to a vehicle channel called a
multicast channel (MCH) or to the downlink shared channel (DL-SCH). The MCH
underpins MBSFN consolidating of MBMS transmission from numerous cells. The
other consistent channels mapped to DL-SCH incorporate CCCH, DCCH and DTCH. The
DL-SCH is described by support for versatile tweak/coding, HARQ, control,
semi-static/dynamic asset distribution, DRX, MBM Transmission and multi receiving
wire advancements. All the four-downlink transport channels have the necessity
to be communicated in the whole scope territory of a cell.
The BCH is mapped to a physical channel alluded to as physical
communicate channel (PBCH), which is transmitted more than four sub outlines
with 40 ms timing interim. The 40 ms timing is identified indiscriminately
without requiring any express flagging. Additionally, each sub outline
transmission of BCH is self-decodable and UEs with great channel conditions
will not have to sit tight for gathering of all the four sub outlines for PBCH
deciphering. The PCH and DL-SCH are mapped to a physical channel alluded to as
physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The multicast channel (MCH) is mapped
to physical multicast channel (PMCH), which is the multi-cell MBSFN
transmission channel.
The three remain solitary physical control channels are the
physical control design marker channel (PCFICH), the physical downlink control
channel (PDCCH) and the physical half and half ARQ pointer channel (PHICH). The
PCFICH is transmitted each sub casing and conveys data on the quantity of OFDM
images utilized for PDCCH. The PDCCH is utilized to educate the UEs about the
asset distribution of PCH and DL-SCH and also balance, coding and cross breed
ARQ data identified with DL-SCH. A most extreme of three or four OFDM images
can be utilized for PDCCH. With element sign of number of OFDM images utilized
for PDCCH by means of PCFICH, the unused OFDM images among the three or four
PDCCH OFDM images can be utilized for information transmission. The PHICH is
utilized to convey half breed ARQ ACK/NACK for uplink transmissions.
4.2 UPLINK LOGICAL, TRANSPORT AND PHYSICAL CHANNELS
The connection between uplink coherent, transport and physical
diverts is appeared in Figure 2.11. In the uplink two control channels and a
solitary activity channel is characterized. With respect to the downlink,
normal control channel (CCCH) and devoted control channel (DCCH) are utilized
to convey data between the system and the UE. The CCCH is utilized for UEs
having no RRC association while DCCH is utilized for UEs having a RRC
association. Like downlink, committed activity channel (DTCH) is an indicate
guide channel devoted toward a solitary UE for transmission of client data. All
the three uplink sensible channels are mapped to a vehicle channel named uplink
shared channel (UL-SCH). The UL-SCH bolsters versatile tweak/coding HARQ,
control and semi T static/dynamic asset allotment.
Another vehicle channel characterized for the uplink is alluded to
as the irregular get to channel (RACH), which can be utilized for transmission
of restricted control data from a UE with plausibility of crashes with transmissions
from different UEs. The RACH is mapped to physical irregular get to channel
(PRACH), which conveys the arbitrary get, to preface.
The UL-SCH transport channel is mapped to physical uplink shared
channel (PUSCH). A remain solitary uplink physical channel alluded to as
physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is utilized to convey downlink channel
quality sign (CQI) reports, booking demand (SR) and half breed ARQ ACK/NACK for
downlink transmissions.
5.
PROTOCOL STATES AND STATES TRANSITIONS
In the LTE framework, two radio asset control (RRC) states to be
specific RRC IDLE and RRC CONNECTED states are characterized as portrayed in
Figure 2.12. A UE moves from RRC IDLE state to RRC CONNECTED state when a RRC
association is effectively settled. A UE can move once more from RRC CONNECTED
to RRC IDLE state by discharging the RRC association. In the RRC IDLE state, UE
can get communicate/multicast information, screens a paging channel to
distinguish approaching calls, performs neighbor cell estimations and cell
determination/reselection and obtains framework data. Besides, in the RRC IDLE
express, a UE particular DRX (spasmodic gathering) cycle might be designed by
upper layers to empower UE control investment funds. Likewise, portability is
controlled by the UE in the RRC IDLE State.
In the RRC CONNECTED express, the exchange of uncast information
to/from UE, and the exchange of communicate or multicast information to UE can
happen. At lower layers, the UE might be arranged with a UE particular DRX/DTX
(spasmodic transmission). Besides, UE screens control channels related with the
common information channel to figure out whether information is booked for it,
gives channel quality input data, performs neighbor cell estimations and
estimation announcing and procures framework data. Not at all like the RRC IDLE
express, is the versatility controlled by the system in this state.
6.
SEAMLESS MOBILITY SUPPORT
A critical component of a versatile remote framework, for example,
LTE is support for consistent portability crosswise over eNBs and crosswise
over MME/GWs. Quick and consistent handovers (HO) is especially vital for
deferral delicate administrations, for example, VoIP. The handovers happen more
every now and again crosswise over eNBs than crosswise over center systems in
light of the fact that the territory secured by MME/GW serving an extensive
number of eNBs is for the most part significantly bigger than the region
secured by a solitary eNB. The
Motioning on X2 interface between eNBs is utilized for handover
arrangement. The S-GW goes about as stay for between eNB handovers.
In the LTE framework, the system depends on the UE to recognize
the neighboring cells for handovers and in this way no neighbor cell data is
motioned from the system. For the pursuit and estimation of between recurrence
neighboring cells, just the transporter frequencies should be shown. A case of
dynamic handover in a RRC CONNECTED state is appeared in Figure 13 where a UE
moves from the scope range of the source eNB (eNB1) to the scope zone of the
objective eNB (eNB2). The handovers in the RRC CONNECTED state are system
controlled and helped by the UE. The UE sends a radio estimation answer to the
source eNB1 showing that the flag quality on eNB2 is superior to the flag
quality on eNB1. As arrangement for handover, the source eNB1 sends the
coupling data and the UE setting to the objective eNB2 (HO ask for) [6] on the
X2 interface. The objective eNB2 may perform confirmation control subject to
the got EPS conveyor QoS data. The objective eNB arranges the required assets
as indicated by the got EPS carrier QoS data and stores a C-RNTI (cell radio
system transitory identifier) and alternatively a RACH prelude.
The C-RNTI gives a one of a kind UE ID at the cell level
distinguishing the RRC association. At the point when eNB2 signs to eNB1 that
it is prepared to play out the handover by means of HO reaction message, eNB1
summons the UE (HO order) to change the radio conveyor to eNB2. The UE gets the
HO charge with the essential parameters (i.e. new C-RNTI, alternatively
committed RACH prelude, conceivable expiry time of the devoted RACH
introduction, and so on.) and is ordered by the source eNB to play out the HO.
The UE does not have to defer the handover execution for conveying the HARQ/ARQ
reactions to source eNB.
Subsequent to accepting the HO charge, the UE performs
synchronization to the objective eNB and gets to the objective cell by means of
the arbitrary get to channel (RACH) taking after a conflict free method if a
devoted RACH preface was distributed in the HO order or taking after a dispute
based technique if no committed prelude was assigned. The system reacts with
uplink asset designation and timing development to be connected by the UE. At
the point when the UE has effectively gotten to the objective cell, the UE
sends the HO affirm message (C-RNTI) alongside an uplink cradle status report
demonstrating that the handover system is finished for the UE. In the wake of
getting the HO affirm message, the objective eNB sends a way change message to
the MME to educate that the UE has changed cell. The MME sends a client plane
refresh message to the S-GW. The S-GW switches the downlink information way to
the objective eNB and sends at least one "end marker" parcels on the
old way to the source eNB and afterward discharges any client plane/TNL assets
towards the source eNB. At that point S-GW sends a client plane refresh
reaction message to the MME. At that point the MME affirms the way change
message from the objective eNB with the way switch reaction message. After the
way switch reaction message is gotten from the MME, the objective eNB educates
achievement of HO to the source eNB by sending discharge asset message to the
source eNB and triggers the arrival of assets. On getting the discharge asset
message, the source eNB can discharge radio and C-plane related sources related
with the UE setting.
Amid handover arrangement U-plane passages can be built up between
the source ENB and the objective eNB. There is one passage set up for uplink
information sending and another for downlink information sending for each EPS
conveyor for which information sending is connected. Amid handover execution,
client information can be sent from the source eNB to the objective eNB.
Sending of downlink client information from the source to the objective eNB
ought to occur all together the length of parcels is gotten at the source eNB
or the source eNB cushion is depleted.
For versatility administration in the RRC IDLE state, idea of
following zone (TA) is presented. A following zone for the most part covers
different eNBs as delineated in Figure 2.14. The following range personality
(TAI) data showing which TA an eNB has a place with is communicate as a
component of framework data. A UE can distinguish change of following zone when
it gets an alternate TAI than in its present cell. The UE refreshes the MME
with its new TA data as it moves crosswise over TAs. At the point when P-GW
gets information for a UE, it cradles the parcels and questions the MME for the
UE's area. At that point the MME will page the UE in its most current TA. A UE
can be enlisted in various TAs at the same time. This empowers control sparing
at the UE under states of high versatility since it doesn't have to continually
refresh its area with the MME. This component additionally limits stack on TA
limits.
8. MULTICAST
BROADCAST SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
In the LTE framework, the MBMS either utilize a solitary cell
transmission or a multi-cell transmission. In single-cell transmission, MBMS is
transmitted just in the scope of a particular cell and in this manner joining
MBMS transmission from numerous cells is not bolstered. The single-cell MBMS
transmission is performed on DL-SCH and thus utilizes a similar system design
as the unicast movement.
The MTCH and MCCH are mapped on DL-SCH for indicate multipoint
transmission and booking is finished by the eNB. The UEs can be designated
committed uplink input channels indistinguishable to those utilized as a part
of unicast transmission, which empowers HARQ ACK/NACK and CQI criticism. The
HARQ retransmissions are made utilizing a gathering (benefit particular) RNTI
(radio system brief identifier) in a time span that is co-ordinate with the
first MTCH transmission. All UEs accepting MBMS can get the retransmissions and
join with the first transmissions at the HARQ level. The UEs that are assigned
a devoted uplink input direct are in RRC CONNECTED state. With a specific end
goal to maintain a strategic distance from superfluous MBMS transmission on MTCH
in a cell where there is no MBMS client, system can recognize nearness of
clients keen on the MBMS benefit by surveying or through UE benefit ask.
The multi-cell transmission for the advanced sight and sound
communicate multicast benefit (MBMS) is acknowledged by transmitting
indistinguishable waveform in the meantime from numerous cells. For this
situation, MTCH and MCCH are mapped on to MCH for indicate multipoint
transmission. This multi-cell transmission mode is alluded to as multicast
communicate single recurrence system (eMBSFN) as portrayed in detail in Chapter
17. A MBSFN transmission from various cells inside a MBSFN range is viewed as a
solitary transmission by the UE. A MBSFN range involves a gathering of cells
inside a MBSFN synchronization region of a system that are co-ordinate to
accomplish MBSFN transmission. A MBSFN synchronization region is characterized
as a range of the system in which all eNBs can be synchronized and perform
MBSFN transmission. A MBMS benefit territory may comprise of numerous MBSFN
zones. A cell inside a MBSFN synchronization zone may shape some portion of
numerous SFN regions each described by various substance and set of taking part
cells.
A case of MBMS administration territory comprising of two MBSFN
ranges, region An and region B, is delineated in Figure 2.15. The MBSFNA zone
comprises of cells A1-A5, cell AB1 and AB2. The MBSFN range comprises of cells
B1-B5, cell AB1 and AB2. The cells AB1 and AB2 are a piece of both MBSFN
territory An and range B. The cell B5 is a piece of region B yet does not add
to MBSFN transmission. Such a cell is alluded to as MBSFN zone saved cell. The
MBSFN territory held cell might be permitted to transmit for different
administrations on the assets apportioned for the MBSFN yet at a limited power.
The MBSFN synchronization zone, the MBSFN region and held cells can be
semi-statically designed by O&M.
The MBMS engineering for multi-cell transmission is portrayed in
Figure 2.16. The multicell multicast coordination substance (MCE) is a coherent
element, which implies it can likewise be a piece of another system component,
for example, eNB. The MCE performs capacities, for example, the distribution of
the radio assets utilized by all eNBs in the MBSFN range and in addition
deciding the radio setup including the balance and coding plan. The MBMS GW is
additionally a consistent substance whose principle capacity is
sending/broadcasting MBMS parcels with the SYNC convention to each eNB
transmitting the administration. The MBMS GW has the PDCP layer of the client
plane and uses IP multicast for sending MBMS client information to eNBs.
The eNBs are associated with eMBMS GW by means of an unadulterated
client plane interface M1. As M1 is an unadulterated client plane interface, no
control plane application part is characterized for this interface. Two control
plane interfaces M2 and M3 are characterized. The application part on M2
interface passes on radio setup information for the multi-cell transmission
mode eNBs. The application part on M3 interface between MBMS GW and MCE
performs MBMS session control motioning on EPS conveyor level that incorporates
methodology, for example, session begin and stop.
A vital necessity for multi-cell MBMS benefit transmission is MBMS
content synchronization to empower MBSFN operation. The eMBMS client plane
design for substance synchronization is portrayed in Figure 2.17. A SYNC
convention layer is characterized on the vehicle arrange layer (TNL) to bolster
the substance synchronization system. The SYNC convention conveys extra data
that empowers eNBs to distinguish the planning for radio casing transmission
and also recognize parcel misfortune.
The eNBs taking part in multicell MBMS transmission are required
to follow content synchronization component. An eNB transmitting just in
single-cell administration is not required to conform to the stringent planning
prerequisites showed by SYNC convention. On the off chance that PDCP is
utilized for header pressure, it is situated in eMBMS GW. The UEs getting MTCH
transmissions and participating in no less than one MBMS criticism conspire
should be in a RRC CONNECTED state. Then again, UEs accepting MTCH
transmissions without participating in a MBMS input instrument can be in either
a RRC IDLE or a RRC CONNECTED state. For accepting single-cell transmission of
MTCH, a UE may should be in RRC CONNECTED state. The motioning by which a UE is
activated to move to RRC CONNECTED state exclusively for single-cell gathering
reasons for existing is carried on MCCH.
The LTE framework depends on exceptionally rearranged organize
design with just two sorts of hubs in particular eNode-B and MME/GW. In a
general sense, it is a leveled engineering that empowers improved system plan
while as yet supporting consistent versatility and progressed QoS instruments.
This is a noteworthy change in respect to conventional remote systems with
numerous more system hubs utilizing progressive system engineering. The
improvement of system was
somewhat conceivable in light of the fact that LTE framework does
not bolster large scale differing qualities or delicate handoff and
consequently does not require a RNC in the get to organize for full scale
assorted qualities consolidating. Large portions of the other RNC capacities
are fused into the eNB. The QoS consistent associations are given between the
UE and the door empowering separation of IP streams and meeting the
prerequisites for low-dormancy applications.
A different design enhanced for multi-cell multicast and
communicate is given, which comprises of two sensible hubs to be specific the
multicast co-appointment substance (MCE) and the MBMS portal. The MCE allots
radio assets and also decides the radio setup to be utilized by all eNBs in the
MBSFN range. The MBMS portal communicates MBMS bundles with the SYNC convention
to each eNB transmitting the administration. The MBMS door utilizes IP
multicast for sending MBMS client information to eNBs. The layer 2 and radio
asset control conventions are intended to empower dependable conveyance of
information, figuring, header pressure and UE control reserve funds.
