Carries Signaling between UE to MME (as forwarding mechanism through RRC)

Using this technique a dedicated channel can be allocated to a user, whilst other users occupy other channels, i.e. Frequencies.

Layer 2 Elements on the Radio Interface Protocol Stack except (1)

SIB & MIB are found in…

Allows multiple stations to share and use the same transmission channel by dividing signals into different time slots.

Defines HOW a data is transmitted over Radio Interface

A technique where separate frequency bands are used at the transmitter and receiver side. 

Defines WHERE a data is transmitted over Radio Interface

Used for the initial access to the network (RANDOM ACCESS Procedure)

It is concerned about UE's Registration State at the NAS Layer. It has EMM-Register & De-Register Key State

It is related to UE's connectivity (EPS Bearer) at NAS Layer. It has Bearer Context Active & In-Active State.

Space between the uplink and downlink.

It is also called linearly precoded OFDMA (LP-OFDMA)

Multiple access is achieved here by assigning subsets of subcarriers to individual users. This allows simultaneous low-data-rate transmission from several users.
