LTE Layer 2 Protocol

MAC architecture on UE side

This tutorial describes the specific details of the LTE MAC layer or the Medium Access Control protocol. MAC is a radio network protocol which resides both in the UE and in the E-UTRAN. Also, it should be noted that MAC protocol is available for both User plane and also for the control plane. RRC (Radio Resource Control) protocol is in (more ..)

RLC is a layer 2 protocol in LTE UE and NodeB. RLC – Radio Link Control protocol is a data link layer protocol. RRC (Radio Resource Control) is generally controls RLC configuration via RRC-RLC SAP. A RLC entity receives/delivers RLC SDUs from/to upper layer and ends/receives RLC PDUs to/from its peer RLC entity via lower layers. If RLC entity configured (more ..)
