Challenges For LTE

Click here for full article.

This is a very detailed article regarding the challenges in introducing LTE technology. Not only does the author provide details on what the difficulties are, he provides some possible solutions to overcome the problem. This article is excellent because it contains a lot of information that broadens the mind and exposes us to many possibilities in communication technology.

3-ANTS(A REVIEW)

3ants(Engage, Enable, Enrich) , is a Personalized Multimedia Tool. It was used to  tag and share information on LTE(Long Term Evolution) technology for Mobile and Satellite Communications assignment. On a scale of 1 to 10, i would give it a rating of only 4. There are a few reasons as to why i choose to rate it as such.

Firstly, whenever  we log in to the site, we were always prompted to  update our individual information. This should not happen as we, the users should be given the choice to update our personal information as and when we feel it to be necessary. Secondly, the tagging and sharing functions  too faced problems.  Whenever i used to tag or share  information, webs or  videos for sharing, these information did not appear on my tagging history.  As a result, i had to re-tag all the information which i had tagged earlier for it to appear on my tagging history. However, it must be said that this problem has appeared to be resolved  very recently as i was able to view my tagging history without problems.

Thirdly, the overall interface of this software is not very attractive to the user. Interfaces play a very important part in the attractiveness of Personalized Multimedia tools.Fourthly, and finally, there are some weaknesses with the Content Explorer. It recommends articles and tagged information based on the options we select. Quality and complexity of the information may vary for different users. Therefore , the method to suggest information based on the ratings of other people has its weaknesses.

 Nevertheless, this PMT has room for further improvement and i believe that will be the case as it is just in its infancy. Problems encountered such as tagging history disappearance were rectified, so i reckon that improvements will be made for other aspects so that this site may become a major PMT for the sharing and tagging of information and technology.

Self-Organizing Networks (SON) in 3GPP Long Term Evolution

More explanation on LTE and its network structures. It describes how self organizing networks can help reduce operational expenditures.Eventually this is what all companies look for, which is to reduce operational costs. It is a little difficult to understand but the diagrams do help a lot.

LTE Network Tech Explained

Click here to read full article.

Now this is extremely useful information for communication engineering students. LTE network technology is explained using graphs, and engineering terms.It gives a rough idea of what are the multiplexing schemes which were used and which will be used for LTE, and also making comparisons between schemes such as OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). It also gives information on data rates. Strongly recommended for engineering students seeking to deepen their knowledge of LTE.

This article provides detailed information of LTE. From the network structure to the procedures involved, it pictures LTE as a very revolutionized way of communication. It interestingly explains the speeds of LTE which users can expect depending on the variety of different channel sizes. In this face moving world,this is exactly what people look for  in communication nowadays, speed!!!Credit goes to Verizon, a US communications company together with partners for leading the way in LTE technology.

LTE MME - Mobility Management Entity – SixtySec

This video explains MME(Mobility Management Entity). The narrator gives fairly good explanations of this concept but the video is a bit boring because of the way he narrates the information, but this video should not be just brushed aside as it contains important information about MME in LTE.

LTE Advanced: Heterogeneous Networks

This video explains the reasons for the introduction of LTE Advanced and other aspects , such as data demand, spectral efficiency , efficient deployments, range expansion and resource partitioning. It is quite an educational video as the person explaining the concept of LTE advanced gives a general idea about heterogeneous networks and deployment. All in all, a beneficial video for general knowledge of heterogeneous networks.
