These are my lecture notes from IMT’s NET02x (4G Network Essentials) course, I thought I’d post them here as they may be useful to someone. You can find my complete notes here. As we’ve talked about traffic to and from UEs is encapsulated in GTP-U tunnels, with the idea that by encapsulating data destined for […]

These are my lecture notes from IMT’s NET02x (4G Network Essentials) course, I thought I’d post them here as they may be useful to someone. You can find my complete notes here. When a packet arrives from an external network, like the internet, it is routed to the P-GW. The P-GW takes this packet and […]
These are my lecture notes from IMT’s NET02x (4G Network Essentials) course, I thought I’d post them here as they may be useful to someone. You can find my complete notes here. Mobile networks are by definition, mobile. In a fixed network, if I were to connect my laptop to my network at home, I’d […]
These are my lecture notes from IMT’s NET02x (4G Network Essentials) course, I thought I’d post them here as they may be useful to someone. You can find my complete notes here. The Packet Data Convergence Protocol PDCP protocol stack sits ontop of the radio interface stack, and manages the connection the EPC. There is […]
In February Facebook announced they’d open sourced their Magma project, Magma provides a software-centric distributed mobile packet core and tools for automating network management. Open-sourcing Magma to extend mobile networks Magma’s modular software based architecture means you can scale up extra resources as needed, with no need to have physical hardware to run your EPC. […]
