UTRAN vs eUTRAN UTRAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) and eUTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) are both Radio Access Network Architectures, which consist of Air Interface Technology and Access Network Node Elements. UTRAN is the 3G UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) radio access network that was introduced in 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership […]
Difference Between BTS and Node B
BTS vs Node B Both BTS and Node B are the last mile network elements that process the signals and information prior to transmitting through antennas to the air interface. Node B does that for UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecom System) or any other third-generation wireless technology while BTS does the same for GSM (Global […]
Difference Between 4G and 4G Plus
4G vs 4G Plus LTE-Advance (Release 10 of 3GPP) and WiMAX Release 2 (IEEE 802.16m) were referred as 4G or 4th Generation Wireless Mobile Broadband technologies, by ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union – Radio Communication Sector) based on IMT Advance requirements. However, LTE (Release 8 of 3GPP) and Mobile WIMAX (IEEE 802.16e) networks were heavily […]
Difference Between OFDM and OFDMA
OFDM vs OFDMA OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) are both wideband digital communication technologies with a slight difference between them. However, both are based on the same concept of bundling evenly spaced multiple sub-carriers with special characteristics into one big chunk and still transmitting separately over the […]
