LTE-Architecture Overview
Today, LTE is on the tip of everyone’s tongues. It’s the up and coming, lighting fast data network we’ve been waiting for. When discussing LTE, however, there are many technical terms and many complexities. To help you better understand, an LTE architecture overview of the LTE network is helpful. Let’s break it down. LTE contains many components that make it different than General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), High Speed Packet Access) HSPA and any other wireless network for that matter. First of all, radio access for LTE is called Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), and is poised to substantially improve end-user through-puts, sector capacity and reduce user plane latency, bringing significantly improved user experience with full mobility. System Architecture Evolution (SAE) is the core network architecture of 3GPP’s LTE wireless communication standard. SAE is the evolution of the GPRS Core Network. And, unlike HSPA, LTE has a new packet core, kn
