This book provides a comprehensive description of Radio AccessNetworks for UMTS . The main content is based upon the release6 version of the 3GPP specifications. Changes since the release 99version are described while some of the new features from therelease 7 version are introduced.
Starting from the high-level network architecture, the firstsections describe the flow of data between the network andend-user. This includes a dedicated chapter describing the Iubtransport network. Detailed descriptions of both HSDPA and HSUPAreflect the increasing importance of efficient high data rateconnections. Signalling procedures are described for speech, videoand PS data connection establishment, SMS data transfer, softhandover and inter-system handover. The more practical subjects oflink budgets and radio network planning are also addressed.
* More than 180 example log files reinforce the reader'sunderstanding
* Summary bullet points allow rapid access to the most importantinformation
* Focus upon how data is transferred between the network andend-user
* Dedicated chapters provide detailed descriptions of both HSDPAand HSUPA
* Step-by-step analysis of common signalling procedures
* Key radio network planning subjects addressed
Radio Access Networks for UMTS is ideal for mobiletelecommunications engineers working for equipment vendors,operators and regulators. It will also appeal to system designers,technical managers and students.
