radio network controller

Ericsson - Business Unit Networks: Mobile and fixed networks 1 LM Ericsson provides mobile systems products to network operators. Its systems offerings include radio base stations, base station and radio network controllers, mobile switching centers and service application nodes. It offers operators services and products for network migration to 3G.

Ericsson - Radio access networks 1 Similarly, in 3G networks, a radio network controller effects call handover in conjunction with mobility server nodes within the service layer.

Home Node B - Architecture 1 'Home Node B (HNB)' – Connected to an existing residential broadband service, an HNB provides 3G radio coverage for 3G handsets within a home. HNBs incorporate the capabilities of a standard Node B as well as the radio resource management functions of a standard Radio Network Controller Radio_Network_Controller|RNC.

Telecom NZ s 1 *December: Telecoms new mobile phone network XT Mobile Network from Taupo south fails the first in a series of failures due to a Radio Network Controller failure in Christchurch

Telecom NZ s 1 *February: Second major network outage for Telecoms XT Mobile Network caused by failing Radio Network Controller in Christchurch.

Femtocell - Standardised architectures 1 In the Iuh architecture, the femtocell gateway sits between the femtocell and the core network and performs the necessary translations to ensure the femtocells appear as a radio network controller to existing mobile switching centres (MSCs)

UTRAN 1 'UTRAN' (short for 'Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network') is a collective term for the Node B's and Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) which make up the UMTS radio access network

UTRAN 1 The UTRAN contains the base stations, which are called Node Bs, and Radio Network Controllers (RNC)

SGSN - WCDMA specific SGSN functions 1 * Tunnel/detunnel downlink/uplink packets toward the Radio Network Controller|radio network controller (RNC)

SGSN - Interfaces in the GPRS network 1 ;Iu: Interface between the Radio Network Controller and the SGSN. The interface exchanges signaling and payload.

Evolved HSPA - All-IP architecture 1 The user's data flow bypasses the Radio Network Controller (RNC) and the SGSN of the previous 3GPP UMTS architecture versions thus simplifying the architecture, reducing costs and delays

E-UTRA - Architecture[ 3GPP TS E-UTRA Overall description] 1 EUTRAN consists only of enodeBs on the network side. The enodeB performs tasks similar to those performed by the Node B|nodeBs and Radio Network Controller|RNC (radio network controller) together in UTRAN. The aim of this simplification is to reduce the latency of all radio interface operations. eNodeBs are connected to each other via the X2 interface, and they connect to the Packet switching|packet switched (PS) core network via the S1 interface.

ENode B 1 Traditionally, a Node B has minimum functionality, and is controlled by an RNC (Radio Network Controller). However, with an eNB, there is no separate controller element. This simplifies the architecture and allows lower response times.

ENode B - Control Functionality 1 eNB embeds its own control functionality, rather than using an RNC, (Radio Network Controller) as does a Node B.

Tilera - Products 1 * Wireless infrastructure such as 4G Node B Base Station, Radio Network Controller|RNC, and Media Gateways

AAA protocol - Usage of AAA servers in LDAP networks 1 *'Access Network AAA (AN-AAA)' – Communicates with the Radio Network Controller|RNC in the Access Network (AN) to enable authentication and authorization functions to be performed at the AN. The interface between AN and AN- AAA is known as the A12 Authentication|A12 interface.

Radio resource management - Dynamic radio resource management 1 Some schemes are centralized, where several base stations and access points are controlled by a Radio Network Controller (RNC). Others are distributed, either autonomous algorithms in mobile stations, base stations or wireless Wireless access point|access points, or coordinated by exchanging information among these stations.

Mobile Telephone Switching Office - Handovers 1 As a mobile unit engaged in a call moves away from a cell site or formally known as Base transceiver station and its Signal (electronics)|signal weakens, the Base Station Controller|BSC(GSM) or Radio Network Controller|RNC(3G UMTS) will automatically instruct it to tune to a different frequency, one assigned to the newly entered BTS

Node B - Functionality 1 Traditionally, the Node Bs have minimum functionality, and are controlled by an RNC (Radio Network Controller). However, this is changing with the emergence of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), where some logic (e.g., retransmission) is handled on the Node B for lower response times.

Node B - Frequency use 1 The utilization of WCDMA technology allows cells belonging to the same or different Node Bs and even controlled by different Radio Network Controller|RNC to overlap and still use the same frequency (in fact, the whole network can be implemented with just one WCDMA#Technology|frequency pair). The effect is utilized in soft handovers.

GPRS Tunnelling Protocol - Use on the IuPS interface 1 GTP-U is used on the IuPS between the GPRS core network and the RAN, however the GTP-C protocol is not used. In this case, RANAP is used as a control protocol and establishes GTP-U tunnels between the SGSN and the Radio Network Controller|radio network controller (RNC).

Radio Network Controller 1 The 'Radio Network Controller' (or 'RNC') is a governing element in the UMTS radio access network (UTRAN) and is responsible for controlling the Node Bs that are connected to it

Access point base station - Standardised architectures 1 In the Iuh architecture, the femtocell gateway sits between the femtocell and the core network and performs the necessary translations to ensure the femtocells appear as a radio network controller to existing mobile switching centres (MSCs)

Mobility management - Location area 1 A location area is a set of base stations that are grouped together to optimise signalling. Typically, tens or even hundreds of base stations share a single Base Station Controller (BSC) in GSM, or a Radio Network Controller (RNC) in UMTS, the intelligence behind the base stations. The BSC handles allocation of radio channels, receives measurements from the mobile phones, controls handovers from base station to base station.

Ericcson - Business Unit Networks 1 Its systems offerings include radio base stations and Radio Network Controller|radio network controllers, mobile switching centers and Multi-service access node|service application nodes. Operators use Ericsson solutions to migrate from 2G to 3G and, most recently, to 4G networks. The company’s network division is a driver in the development of 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE technology, future 5G and the evolution towards all-IP.

Ericcson - Radio access networks 1 Similarly, in 3G networks, a radio network controller manages call handover in conjunction with mobility server nodes within the service layer.

Cell Broadcast - Technology 1 A Cell Broadcast Centre (CBC), a node which is a source of SMS-CB, is connected to a base station controller (BSC) in GSM networks or to a radio network controller (RNC) in UMTS networks via standardized interface over TCP/IP
