LTE - STACKS

LTE - STACKS

Lets see the LTE complete Stack architecture with respect to MME & SGW from the EnodeB. EnodeB is nasically a protocol converter, which converts the messages received from MME with a different set of Stack layers. It Take the NAS messages & encapsulate it to the OTA stack & send it to UE's.

In Downlink, EnodeB receives 3 kind of stack messages.

1. From MME (Control Plane - S1 Interface)
2. From SGW (Data Plane - S1-U Interface)
3. From neighbour EnodeB (Control & Data Plane - X2 interface)

Lets see the Stack between UE, EnodeB & MME



Similarly you can see the Stack between UE, EnodeB & SGW:


The EnodeB to EnodeB stack comprises control & Data Planes in the X2 Interface for carrying the control information & data respectively.

Stack for X2 Interface control plane:

Stack for X2 Interface Data Plane:

I hope the you can understand the complexity in the EnodeB stack & its importance in the LTE architecture.
