This document provides an overview of LTE and EPC networks. It describes the evolution of wireless networks from 1G to 4G technologies such as LTE. It outlines the key components of the LTE/EPC network architecture including eNodeBs, MMEs, SGWs, and PGWs. It also describes the tracking area and connection state concepts for mobility management in LTE networks. Finally, it discusses EPS bearers which provide the identity and connectivity for data transmission from the UE through the EUTRAN and EPC to external networks.
