LED
Light Emitting Diode
LTE
Long Term Evolution
MAC
Medium Access Controller – responsible for several functions
such Error Correction, Packet (De)Multiplexing, etc…
MBSFN
Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network is an LTE feature
designed to deliver services such as Mobile TV using the LTE
infrastructure, and is expected to be a competitor to DVB-H-
based TV broadcast
MCS
Modulation and Coding Scheme
MME
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
MTBF
Mean Time Between Failures
OFDMA
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a
multi-user version of OFDM digital modulation scheme, used for
eNodeB transmissions to UEs
PDCP
Packet Data Convergence Protocol. A Sub-Layer in LTE
responsible for IP Header (De) Compression, etc…
PDU
Protocol Data Unit
PTP
Precision Time Protocol is used to synchronize clocks throughout
a network. In this document, PTP is referring to IEEE1588-2008
protocol
RB
Resource Block
RLC
Radio Link Control. A Sub-Layer in LTE responsible for Ack/Nack,
error correction, packet reordering, etc…
ROHS
Restriction Of Hazardous Substances
RRM
Radio Resource Management is used to cover all functions that
are related to the assignment and sharing of radio resources
among UEs
S-GW
Serving Gateway. A Core entity in the LTE EPC architecture
responsible for routing and forwarding user data packets, while
also acting as the mobility anchor for the user plane during inter-
eNodeB handovers and as the anchor for mobility between LTE
and other 3GPP technologies
SC-FDMA
Single-Carrier FDMA is a frequency-division multiple access
scheme, dealing with the assignment of multiple users to a
shared communication resource. Used in LTE for UE
transmissions to the eNodeB
SCTP
Stream Control Transmission Protocol is a reliable transport layer
protocol, ensuring in-sequence transport of messages with
congestion control like TCP
SDR
Software Defined Radio
WEEE
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
