Umts Design Details and System Engineering

An invaluable reference for all experienced system designers and engineers, this unique volume collects the full-color visuals used in Gert Bostelmann’s cutting-edge course, UMTS Design Details and System Engineering. Using a minimum of text, this collection embraces all the relevant material about UMTS you need to develop and operate UMTS equipment and networks. You gain a thorough, high-level understanding of the UMTS Radio Access Network (RAN), its system functions and its technical operation. Specifically, this unique resource helps you understand: how the initial parameters for network access are selected by the UE; how to perform blind transport format detection; the functions of the SSCOP protocol in the transport network protocol; the meaning of the N_Max_frames parameter; and how dedicated and common channels are handled in the user plane on the lub interface. You learn what parameters are added to the authentication quintet, and how integrity protection is performed. What’s more, the volume covers the different identifiers used in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH for addressing. Plus, you get hands-on guidance in establishing and reconfiguring an AMR speech connection.
