Description

This course covers the basics of UMTS radio communication. 3G (UMTS ) is Third Generation of Wireless telecommunication. It was released 3GPP Release 99 and is an upgrade to 2G & 2.5G.  The student will get in depth understanding of :UMTS Network Architecture, interfaces, Protocols : the UMTS network architecture is partly based on existing 2G network components and some new 3G network components. It inherits the basic functional elements from the GSM architecture on the core network (CN) side.Key Features: provides services like high data transfer, seamless global roaming, WCDMA being used to cover both FDD and TDDUMTS Air interface: uses the concept of WCDMA ( Wideband Code division multiple access ), where multiple codes are used as resources for allocation to the UE. We will also look at the channelization tree, Power Control mechanism, Handover in UMTS We will also discuss UMTS Core Network - Similar to 2G (GSM & GPRS), UMTS core network is divided into Packet Switched and Circuit Switched networks. Multiple Functional Entities are introduced to support PS, CS and both.This course is designed for both students as well as working professionals who want to learn UMTS (3G) Technology. This will help you to learn about technology, concepts used in technology, network architecture, channels, power, frequency control, and more.
