A superstream is a new stream created by merging two or more sets of data into
one large data set. Beware that the size can be huge (since the superstream
contains all attributes, even those that we might not need in our analysis).

Introduction of LTE Radio Protocol Stack
• Two Planes in LTE Radio Protocol:  Main Functions of Control-plane:
– User-plane: For user data transfer  RLC and MAC layers perform the same functions
as for the user plane
– Control-plane: For system
 PDCP layer performs ciphering and integrity
signaling transfer
protection
 RRC layer performs broadcast, paging, connection
• Main Functions of User-plane: management, RB control, mobility functions, UE
measurement reporting and control
– Header Compression
 NAS layer performs EPS bearer management,
– Ciphering authentication, security control
Control-plane protocol stack
– Scheduling

Antenna Configuration

Rank Indicator
In simple words, RI is an indicator showing how well multiple Antenna work. What do you mean by "how well the multiple Antenna work ?". We usually say
"Each of the multiple antenna (e.g, each antenna in MIMO configuration) works well if the signal from each antenna has NO correlation to each other". "No
correlation" implies "no interference to each other".
Maxmum RI value is very closely related to the number of Antenna. Maximum RI is same as number of antenna on each side if the number of Tx antenna and
Rx antenna is same. If the number of Tx and Rx are different, the one with less antenna is the same as Max achievable RI.
Max RI means "No Correlation between the antenna", "No interference to each other", "Best Performance".
For example, in case of 2x2 MIMO, the RI value can be 1 or 2. When the value 2 in this case means "No Correlation between the antenna", "No interference to
each other", "Best Performance". If the value is 1, it implies that the signal from the two Tx antenna is percieved by UE to be like single signal from single
Antenna, which means the worst performance.

CQI to MCS
CQI stands for Channel Quality Indicator. As the name implies,
it is an indicator carrying the information on how good/bad the
communication channel quality is. This CQI is for HSDPA. (LTE
also has CQI for its own purpose).
CQI is the information that UE sends to the network and

practically it implies the following two
i) Current Communication Channel Quality is this-and-that..
ii) I (UE) wants to get the data with this-and-that transport block
size, which in turn can be directly converted into throughput

• This method should be taken from long call Logfile.
• There is no specific Layer 3 message available for analysis.
