RLC Bitmap Super Field (BITMAP-SUFI)

The BITMAP SUFI consists of the following fields: Type identifier field(BITMAP) LENGTH Filed First Sequence Number(FSN) Bitmap The BITMAP SUFI fields in the STATUS PDU are as follows: Type = BITMAP LENGTH FSN Bitmap LENGTH The LENGTH is a 4 bits long field. The LENGTH field signifies the size of bitmap in octets. The size of bitmap in octets = (more ..)

MAC-ehs PDU Structure with Example

There are two different types of MAC HSDPA PDU format depending upon the upper layer configuration. MAC-hs MAC-ehs In this tutorial only MAC-ehs is covered. In this case the MAC HSDPA PDU is consists of MAC-ehs header One or more reordering PDUs Each reordering PDU consists of one or more reordering SDU belonging to the same priority queue. Header Elements (more ..)

Basics of data transmission in a UMTS system

In a UMTS system, the maximum supported downlink data rate is 2.048 Mbps. With other technologies such as HSPA, LTE, higher data rates are possible, but we look at data rates for UMTS only systems. Each application has a certain Quality of service (QOS) requirement. A user who wishes to run a application that demands high data rate informs the (more ..)
