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 […]
A quick look at the Interface Types in the F-TIED field in GTPv2
Why and How GTP is used in LTE networks to carry user data.
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 […]

Each MME can manage millions of UEs. To handle this load the requirements of each subscriber for the MME must be as minimal […]

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 […]
