What’s the deal with Tunnel Endpoint Identifiers and what do they do?
GSM with Osmocom: GPRS & Packet Data
So far we’ve focused on building a plain “2G” (voice and SMS only) network, which was all consumers expected twenty years ago. As the number of users accessing the internet through DSL, Dial Up & ISDN grew, the idea of getting this data “on the go” became more appealing. TCP/IP was becoming the dominant standard … Continue reading GSM with Osmocom: GPRS & Packet Data

Why and How GTP is used in LTE networks to carry user data.
IMTx: NET02x (4G Network Essentials) – Management of Data Flows – 7. NAS and Global View of Protocol Stack
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 LTE architecture compartmentalises the roles in the mobile network. For example the eNB concentrates on radio connection management, while the MME focuses … Continue reading IMTx: NET02x (4G Network Essentials) – Management of Data Flows – 7.

IMTx: NET02x (4G Network Essentials) – Management of Data Flows – 5/6. S1AP Connection
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. Each MME can manage millions of UEs. To handle this load the requirements of each subscriber for the MME must be as minimal … Continue reading IMTx: NET02x (4G Network Essentials) – Management of Data Flows – 5/6. S1AP Connection

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 … Continue reading IMTx: NET02x (4G Network Essentials) – Management of Data Flows – 2. GTP Protocol
