The use of multiple transmitters and receivers (multiple antennas) on wireless devices for improved performance.

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

The control node that processes the signaling between the UE and the core network. The protocols running between the UE and the core network are known as the Non Access Stratum (NAS) protocols.

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A variant of OFDM with the additional ability to dynamically assign a subset of subcarriers to individual users. The multiuser capability is achieved by assigning each user a subset of OFDM ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A protocol whose main services and functions include transfer of user data, ciphering and deciphering, header compression and decompression, in-sequence delivery of upper layer PDUs, duplicate ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

Node that provides the UE with access to a Packet Data Network (PDN) by assigning an IP address from the PDN to the UE. The PDN Gateway (P-GW) hosts the following functions (see 3GPP TS 23.401): - ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A set of 7 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain and 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. A physical resource block contains 84 Resource Elements and represents one slot in the ...

Domain: Telecommunications; Category: Wireless communication

A protocol that handles segmentation and windowing of packets. Proper RLC parametrisation may reduce the probability of (end-to-end) TCP retransmissions, which are slow and are known to have a ...
