Chapter 10. Data Flow, Radio Resource Management, and Mobility Management
Building on the physical layer procedures discussed in previous chapters, in this chapter we describe higher-layer protocols and mobility management in LTE. Radio resource management and inter-cell interference mitigation techniques will also be discussed in this chapter. However, before discussing higher-layer protocols, we first introduce the concept of bearer for Quality of Service (QoS) control and the protocol architecture of LTE.
LTE is a packet-switched network from end to end that is designed primarily for high-speed data services. To efficiently support the varying QoS requirements of different IP applications, LTE uses the concept of a bearer as the central element ...
