Introduction The Synchronization Signal Block, or SSB, is one of the first NR signals a UE must detect before it can access a 5G cell. It is the entry point for synchronization, cell identification, essential broadcast information, and beam-based initial access. If the UE cannot find and decode SSB correctly,

Hi All, Session 1 of the 4G E2E Signaling Course is now available on YouTube. In this session, we build the essential LTE foundation concepts needed before going into detailed end-to-end signaling procedures such as attach, bearer setup, handover, and service request. This video explains how the UE in LTE/

Introduction PDCP is one of the most important layers in the 5G user-plane stack. It sits above RLC/MAC and directly impacts security, header size, packet ordering, and end-to-end latency. In this article, the focus is PDCP deep dive: the PDCP header, PDCP functions, key timers (especially discardTimer and t-Reordering)

Introduction * The Radio Link Control (RLC) layer sits between PDCP and MAC in the user-plane stack. * Its job depends on the configured mode: it can add headers, segment/reassemble data, and (in AM) retransmit to recover losses. What you will learn (Scope) This article will cover: * Where RLC fits in

Introduction In 5G New Radio (NR), Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) plays a critical role in evaluating network performance, coverage, and user experience. Unlike 4G LTE, where SINR was mainly derived from reference signals, 5G introduces multiple SINR types, each designed for a specific purpose. This article provides a simple and structured
5G Inter-Cell Handover Overview: In this video, we dive deep into 5G NR mobility, specifically focusing on inter-cell handover using Event A3 and Event A5. Learn how the UE performs cell-level measurement reporting using SSB beam parameters like: * 📊 ABS Threshold SSB Blocks * 📈 Number of SSB Blocks to Average * 🔁 RSRP Threshold
📶 5G Beam Switch - Intra-cell Mobility Explained | CSI-RSRP & SSB-RI in Massive MIMO In this video, we dive deep into the concept of Intra-cell Beam Switching in 5G Massive MIMO networks. Learn how User Equipment (UE) seamlessly switches between beams within the same cell using CSI Reference Signal Resource Indicators
Introduction * Both the Base Station and UE must be capable of changing beams as the radio conditions change as a function of time. * There are two types of beam mobility have two categories: 1- Intra-cell mobility: * Intra-cell mobility occurs when the serving beam of a UE is changed within the

Introduction In 4G FDD, the uplink HARQ feedback timing was fixed. In 5G, this changes because of TDD operation and low-latency requirements. 5G introduces two methods for uplink HARQ feedback: * Flexible timing * Multiplexing timing This allows the network to optimize feedback delay depending on system configuration and UE capability. Flexible
💡 Why CBG Retransmission Matters? * It enables partial retransmissions of affected code blocks, reducing network load and improving spectral efficiency—especially important for large transport blocks in 5G. How it works? * As shown in the below picture, Large Transport Blocks (TBs) are segmented after CRC attachment to prevent exceeding the maximum
