After working on LG handsets for almost two years, getting back to LTE eNodeB stack itself meant a lot of brainstorming and recollecting old things. And then there were other stories midway, which ofcourse came with a bunch of meaningful and meaningless lessons :) Before I could start with MAC, there was SSI and there was PDCP and there was eNodeB application and there was S1AP and what not. But demanding to work in MAC repeatedly was worth.
It's been 5 months now I get to explore MAC and it seems to be never ending. Everyday it has a new revelation. Is it MAC or is it a Gospel? :D Almost Blank Subframes in LTE-Advanced MAC fell in my plate like a hot chocolate fudge. And then came Semi Persistent Scheduling. This seems to be a rollar coaster ride, which I so badly wanted to take once upon a time, not knowing much that it comes with a pinch of salt. Enormous reading needed and a long way to go.
So much to reason out, so much to implement. I definitely enjoy this much coveted domain of mine, with a second thought of knowing deep down in my mind, that I had to do a lot of other things too. Is it going to be technology in my basket for the rest of my days here? :)
Reminds me of what Portia tells Nerrisa in The Merchant of Venice:
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to
do, chapels had been churches and poor men's
cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that
follows his own instructions: I can easier teach
twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the
twenty to follow mine own teaching. The brain may
devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps
o'er a cold decree: such a hare is madness the
youth, to skip o'er the meshes of good counsel the
cripple.
I'd better get back to MAC now, loads to understand !
