Enode B and E-UTRAN


                                                       Enode B        
E-UTRAN Node B also known as Evolved Node B (eNodeB or eNB) is the element in E-UTRA of LTE is the evolution of the element Node B in UTRA of UMTS.it is a hardware that is connected with mobile phone network  which communicates directly with user equipments.. in eNB there is no separate controller element. It simplifies the architecture and allows lower response times. The
eNB uses the E-UTRA protocols OFDMA  for downlink and SCFDMA for uplink on its LTE interface.it has its own functionality rather than using an Radio Network Controller. It interfaces with the System Architecture Evolution core and uses S1_MME interface with the mobility management for control traffic.

                                       E-UTRAN
The E-UTRAN consists of eNODEBs which provide E-UTRA user plane and control plane (RRC ) protocol termination toward the user equipment. The eNBs are interconnected with each other by means of the X2 interface. The eNBs are also connected by means of the s1 interface to the evolved packet core (EPC).
FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE ACCESS STRATUM:
This provides the ability , infrastructure and accessibility to the UE in acquiring the capabilities and services of the network. The radio access protocols in the E-UTRAN access stratum are comprised of numerous functionalities:
1.   RRM performs radio bearer control, admission and connection mobility control and dynamic allocation of resources to UE’s in both uplink and downlink.
2.   Traffic management in conjuction with RRM supports real and non real time user traffic between UE and architecture side.
