Wireless ISPs in India use both CDMA and Edge technologies for 2G. • India's wireless Internet frequencies are • 2G: GSM 900 MHz, GSM 1800 MHz • 3G: UMTS 2100 MHz • 4G: TDLTE 2300 MHz, FDLTE 1800 MHz Evolution Of Mobile Communication WHY 4G ?
• High Bandwidth Requirement
• Expensive fees for 3G Licenses Services • It was challenge to build the infrastructure for 3G • Expensive 3G Phones. • Large Cell Phones 4G Technology LTE
• LTE stands for Long Term Evolution
• It is a 4G wireless broadband technology developed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), an industry trade group. • It isn’t as much a technology as it is the path followed to achieve 4G speeds LTE Architecture Components Of LTE Architecture • The high-level network architecture of LTE is comprised of following three main components: • The User Equipment (UE). • The Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). • The Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The User Equipment (UE) • The internal architecture of the user equipment for LTE is identical to the one used by UMTS and GSM which is actually a Mobile Equipment (ME). E- Node B • It is the hardware that is connected to the mobile phone network that communicates directly wirelessly with mobile handsets (UEs), like a Base Tranceiver Station (BTS) in GSM networks. MME (Mobile Management Entity)
• The MME (for Mobility Management Entity) deals
with the control plane. • It handles the signalling related to mobility and security for E-UTRAN access. • The MME is responsible for the tracking and the paging of UE in idle-mode. • Controls the high-level operation of the mobile by means of signalling messages and Home Subscriber Server (HSS). Serving Gateway (SGW): • Serving gateway terminates the interface towards EUTRAN. • It acts a mobility anchor for inter 3GPP mobility. • SGW is responsible for • packet routing and forwarding, • buffering the downlink packets • downlink packet marking. PDN Gateway (PGW): • PGW terminates SGi interface towards the PDN. • PGW is responsible for all the IP packet based operations such as • deep packet inspection, • UE IP address allocation, • Transport level packet marking in uplink and downlink, • accounting etc. Home Subscriber Server (HSS): • The HSS is a central database that contains user-related and subscription-related information. • The functions of the HSS include functionalities such as mobility management, call and session establishment support, user authentication and access authorization. • It also holds information about the PDNs to which the user can connect. • In addition the HSS holds dynamic information such as the identity of the MME to which the user is currently attached or registered. Advantages Of LTE VOLTE • Voice over LTE (VoLTE) which is based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network • This approach results in the voice service (control and media planes) being delivered as data flows within the LTE data bearer. • This means that there is no dependency on the circuit switched voice network to be maintained. • VoLTE has up to three times more voice and data capacity than 3G UMTS and up to six times more than 2G GSM. • Furthermore, it frees up bandwidth because VoLTE’s packets headers are smaller than those of un- optimized VoIP/LTE
