LTE RLC Layer Interviews

Questions & Answers

Q1. What is full form of RLC and position in all layers,


where it stands in lte?
Ans:RADIO LINK CONTROL and L2 position, its stand in between MAC and PDCP.

Q2. What are the basic function of RLC?


Ans: Functions are:
(i) Concatenation and segmentation of RLC SDUs
(ii) ARQ for retransmission
(iii) Buffered the data.

Q3. Name of 3 Entities of RLC Layer?


Ans: 3 Entities of RLC Layer are:
(i) Transparent Mode
(ii) Unacknowledged Mode
(iii) Acknowledged Mode

Q4. For which services which entity is used?


Ans: Services which entity is used are:
(i) RLC TM: Used at before RRC connection is established for
PCCH,BCCH and CCCH channel
(ii) RLC UM: Used at after RRC connection in established and deal with
IP packets user data for DTCH channel
(iii) RLC AM: Used for after RRC connection is establishedand deals
with DCCH and DTCH channel

Q5. Describe header formats of UMD PDU in RLC?


Ans: E=Extension (if 1=Next header present,0= No next header), R=Reserve, FI=
Frame Indiactor(0=Start and Complete Stop here, 1= continue from previous TTI
and move on to Next TTI),SN=Sequence Numbering, LI=Length Indicator,
P=Padding.

Q6. What is Frame Indicator [FI] ? How much length it


have in bits ? What are the possible indicators?
Ans: , FI= Frame Indiactor(0=Start from and Complete Stop in this TTI here, 1=
continue from previous TTI and move on to Next TTI).
2 Bits in size and (00,01,10,11) are the possible values.

Q7. What is Last Indicator [LI]? How much it's header


length and message length?
Ans: Length Indicator is a data size available for a TTI and 11 bits in size.
Q8. What is SO_start and SO_end?
Ans: SO_start field indicate the position of the first byte of the portion of the AM
PDU
SO_END indicate the position of the last byte of the portion of the AM PDU.

Q9. What is polling bit? How is it managed?


Ans: Polling bit is used for indicate the reciever RLC for giving Status of recieved
PDU. Its a manged by putting ‘P’ bit in a RLC AM header either 0 and 1.

Q10. If error is occurred in AM mode where data copy is


stored to overcome error?
Ans: Data stored in RLC buffer and indicated by ARQ.
Q11. What is Re-segmentation Flag RF?

Q12. What is LSF [Last Segmentation Flag] Field indicates?

Q13. What is Poll_SN? How does it help?

Q14. What do you send in STATUS_PDU?

Q15. Any reason why RLC is recommended to do ARQ and


not HARQ?

Q16. How much maximum padding bits should be added


in Data PDU and STATUS PDU?

Q17. What channels are normally carried by TM, UM and


AM RLC. List them for each.

Q18. Are all MAC, RLC and PDCP PDU/SDU’s byte aligned?

Q19. What is HARQ? Explain briefly?


Q20. What is sliding window? What is outside and inside
window?

Q21. What is receiving window? What are the two edge


variables describing ends of window for AM?

Q22. What is the re-assembly units work. What variable


does it maintain and moves for AM?
