3rd Generation Partnership Project, responsible for LTE
Additive White Gaussian Noise is a channel model in which the only impairment to
communication is a linear addition of white noise with a constant spectral density
and a Gaussian distribution of amplitude.
Decibel. A logarithmic unit used to describe a ratio (such as power ratio in radio
telecommunications)
An abbreviation for the power ratio in decibels (dB) of the measured power
referenced to one milliwatt (mW). It is used as a convenient measure of absolute
power because of its capability to express both very large and very small values in
a short form
Evolved Node B, is the element in E-UTRAN of LTE
Encapsulating Security Payloads (ESP) provide confidentiality, data-origin
authentication, connectionless integrity, an anti-replay service (a form of partial
sequence integrity), and limited traffic-flow confidentiality
Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, is the air interface of 3GPP's
Long Term Evolution
Frequency-Division Duplexing. A transceiver mode where the transmitter and
receiver operate at different carrier frequencies
Global Navigation Satellite System is a term used to describe a satellite navigation
system with global coverage. There are currently two fully operational GNSSs –
the US GPS and the Russian GLONASS.
Half Power Beam Width is the angular separation in an antenna, in which the
magnitude of the radiation pattern decreases by 50% (or -3 dB) from the peak of
the main beam
Internet Protocol Security is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol (IP)
communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a
communication session
Medium Access Controller – responsible for several functions such Scheduling,
Packet (De)Multiplexing, etc…
Mobility Management Entity is the key control-node for the LTE access-network. It
is responsible, among other things for idle mode UE tracking and paging procedure
including retransmissions
