eNodeBs
An eNodeB, short for Evolved NodeB, is the base station in an LTE (E-UTRA) network responsible for radio communications with user equipment (UEs) and for connecting the UEs to the rest of the network.
In the E-UTRAN architecture, the eNodeB terminates the air interface and implements the radio access network
It interfaces with the core network through the S1 interface (S1-MME for control plane and S1-U for
eNodeBs can be deployed as macro cells or small cells, and modern networks may use distributed or
Standardized by 3GPP, eNodeBs are a core component of the LTE architecture, replacing the older NodeB and
