-
A.
PDCP
PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) is a key LTE/E-UTRAN layer responsible for header compression, security (ciphering and integrity), and in-sequence delivery of user and control plane data between the radio network and the core.
-
B.
Link Control Protocol for PPP
Link Control Protocol for PPP is a core component of the Point-to-Point Protocol that negotiates and configures data-link connection parameters between two network nodes.
-
C.
Remote Control Unit
The Remote Control Unit is a handheld device used by astronauts to monitor and manage their spacesuit’s life support functions during extravehicular activities.
-
D.
Packet Data Network Gateway
The Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW) is a core LTE network element that provides user equipment with IP address allocation, enforces policy and charging, and serves as the interface between the mobile network and external packet data networks such as the internet.
