E-UTRAN - Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network -
A new radio interface specified by the 3GPP consortium
and introduced with LTE in 2008. It was designed to meet
ever-increasing data transfer rates while reducing the radio
operation latency.
EIRP - Effective Isotropic Radiated Power -
An IEEE standardized definition for the measurement of the
radiated power of an antenna in a specific direction.
eLTE eNB -
An evolved 4G eNodeB (or eNB) that can support connectivity to the 4G evolved packet core (EPC) as well as the 5G next-
generation core network (NGC or NGCN).
eMBB - Enhanced Mobile Broadband -
One of three primary use cases defined in the IMT-2020 vision.
Enhanced Mobile Broadband refers to target 5G peak and
average data rates, capacity, and coverage as compared to
conventional mobile broadband (MBB). eMBB specifies a 5G
design capable of supporting up to 20 Gbps in the downlink,
and 10 Gbps in the uplink.
EN-DC – E-UTRAN New Radio – Dual Connectivity -
A term for the simultaneous 4G LTE and 5G NR connectivity
prescribed by 3GPP Release 15. EN-DC enables user
equipment to connect simultaneously to an LTE base station
and a 5G base station.
eNB - Evolved Node B -
An Advanced Base Transceiver Station (BTS) with an integrated controller, allowing for faster response times
EPC - Evolved Packet Core -
The core network of the 4G LTE system, the EPC features a
flat architecture to handle voice and data efficiently. It requires a few network nodes to be involved in the handling of traffic.
EPC serves as an anchor in initial implementations of 5G fixed
wireless access (FWA).
EPS - Evolved Packet System -
Evolved end-to-end-architecture composed of the base
station and evolved packet core (EPC) that enables 4G mobile
communication.
ERAN - Enterprise Radio Access Network -
RAN consists of small cell network platform used to densify carrier networks
ERTA - Extended Range Transmission Analysis -
A technique used to measure the scalar transmission gain or
loss of an RF system.
EVM - Error Vector Magnitude -
Error vector magnitude is a measurement used to quantify
the quality of a digital radio signal. The measurement is a
representation of how far the actual signal deviates from an
ideal representation of that same signal.
