LTE Procedures

• Power control
LTE power control requirements are less stringent than for WCDMA.
• Slow UL power control combines two components:
• Open loop power control calculated at the UE
• Closed loop power control corrections transmitted by the eNodeB
• Slow DL closed loop power control

• Mobility Management
• TRACKING AREA UPDATE

• HANDOVER

· XMAC [RES(i)] Compare:
· CK or Authentication Reject · XRES(i) = RES(i) ?
· IK [XMAC  MAC]  User Authentication
