What is difference between Cell and eNodeB?

Question

I would like to know the releationship between eNodeB, Cell and Sectors in LTE.

And if we have 2 cells running under same eNodeB, will both cells have different antennas ?

Please help me to understand the above concepts. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Cell word is close to radio terminology while eNodeB is a network node which provides radio access to UE to connect to network.
eNodeB is also known as one of the LTE network nodes. An eNodeB can support multiple cell(s) but a cell can't be part of multiple eNodeBs.
