Taking 4G and 5G beyond speed: know how Reach Mobile is using this technology for social good

Four billion people worldwide without a basic connection, and many in the US who cannot afford a monthly phone plan. Now, the mobile service you purchase every month can help give meaningful connectivity to someone in need.

 Reach Mobile is a new mobile service that launched in the US in 2019. Running on the nation's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network, this boutique mobile service offers all the speed and reliability of the "big four" carriers (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile). But reliability and coverage aside, there are a few major differences between Reach and more traditional carriers.
  1. Reach Mobile doesn’t have any stores. Instead of visiting a store to manage your phone plan, you simply open an app. In fact, you can sign up for Reach, pick a plan, activate your new service, and monitor anything related to your mobile service, all from the app. Seems anti-social? It's not… just smart.
  2. Every Reach Mobile plan helps connect someone in need around the world. Every month, your plan helps give connectivity to a woman in India, Nigeria, or the US, and the gifted connection recurs monthly for a minimum of 12 months. Reach has NGO/not-for-profit partners in those countries, and they share stories about the recipients of the mobile connectivity so that Reach customers can learn about the impact being made.
  3. Common-sense policies that aren't full of hidden fine print. The major carriers have networks figured out, but customer service isn't always their strongest attribute. Reach takes a more common-sense/human approach to phone service. For example, the Best Fit feature can be boiled down to this: pick the plan you want, pay for the plan you use. E.g. if you buy the 10GB plan but only use 4GB that month, your bill will automatically change to the 5GB plan. In other words, they charge you less money without you even having to ask.

Difference between SRS and DMRS

There are two types of reference signals used in LTE uplink, to estimate uplink channel quality. Which allow eNB to take smart decisions for resource allocation for uplink transmission, link adaptation and to decode transmitted data from UE . So to take first smart decision by eNB Sounding Reference Signal  (SRS) is being used. SRS is being transmitted by UE on the last symbol of subframe (in which subframe will come to know later). This SRS report the channel quality of over all bandwidth and using this information eNB assign the resource (to UE for uplink transmission )has better channel quality comparing to  other bandwidth  region. So is SRS optional in LTE? Yes. SRS is configurable and infact we do not need SRS at all in case eNB assign all resource block or full bandwidth or have no choice. Now on the basis of configuration and node wise there are two types of SRS (refer 36.211), cell specific (Common SRS) and UE specific (Dedicated SRS).  eNB...

What is Rank Indicaton in LTE

Rank Indication is one of the important input to eNB , in selection of the transmission layer in downlink data transmission. Even though the system is configured in transmission mode 3 (or open loop spatial multiplexing) for a particular UE and if the same UE report the Rank Indication value 1 to eNB, eNB will start sending the data in Tx diversity mode to UE . If UE report Rank Indication 2 , eNB will start sending the downlink data in MIMO mode (Transmission Mode 3). Why we need this RI in LTE concept? When UE experience bad SNR and it would be difficult (error prone) to decode transmitted downlink data  it gives early warning to eNB by stating Rank Indication value as 1. When UE experience good SNR it pass this information to eNB by indicating rank value as 2. Because of this reason, you might have observed that some time data transmitted by eNB is in Tx diversity mode, though MIMO was configured and hence you may have observed less downlink throughput than expected ...

Downlink Assignment Index (DAI)

DAI ( Downlink Assignment Index ) is an index, which is communicated to UE by eNB to prevent ACK/NACK reporting errors due to HARQ ACK/NAK bundling procedure performed by the UE. To understand how DAI works we need to learn how ACK/NAK reporting used to happen in LTE TDD. In LTE TDD, UE can send single ACK/NAK of multiple PDSCH sub frame in one bit for each code word CW0 and CW1. UE perform AND logical operation on each code word CW0 and CW1 (CRC Passed/Failed) of each PDSCH received and report the result in two bits (00, 01, 10, 11) on specific uplink subframe. Below is the table which shows that which all PDSCH subframes need to be bundled for reporting ACK/NAK on which Uplink subframe for each TDD UL DL configurations (Mentioned only for config 1 and config 2 in green color). For Example:            UL/DL Configuration 1: We can see that the k value for 2 nd subframe (Uplink) are 7,6 (according to Table 10.1.3.1-1 of s...
