` 3-G

is next generation of mobile service capabilities in terms of Bandwidth and Network Functions.

` ` `

UMTS is the European vision of 3G. UMTS is an upgrade from GSM via GPRS or EDGE. The standardization work for UMTS is carried out by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Data rates of UMTS are: 144 kbps for rural 384 kbps for urban outdoor 2048 kbps for indoor and low range outdoor Virtual Home Environment (VHE)

UMTS QoS (service) classes


Conversational Streaming Interactive Background

low delay low delay variation

reasonably low delay

low round-trip delay basic QoS requirements

delay is not critical

3G provides data speeds of: 2Mbps in fixed or in building environments, 384Kbps in pedestrian or urban environments 144Kbps in wide area mobile environments
2500 2000 Kbps 1500 1000 500 0 2G GPRS EDGE 3G

3G is considerably faster than 2G and 2.5G technology.

Support of bit rate upto 2Mbps. Mechanism for Bandwidth on demand and variable bit-rate services. Quality services of speech,video,packet data Higher spectrum efficiency Co-existence with 2-G systems.

Due to limitation of 2-g

Low transfer rate

Low efficiency for packet-switched services

Multiple air and network standards.

UMTS network architecture consists of three domains:

Core Network (CN) : To provide switching, routing and transit for user traffic. UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) : Provides the air interface access method for User Equipment. User Equipment (UE) : Terminals work as air interface counterpart for Node B. The various identities are: IMSI, TMSI, P-TMSI, TLLI, MSISDN, IMEI, IMEISV.

` `

Wide band CDMA technology is selected for UTRAN air interface. Base Station is referred to as Node-B and control equipment for Node-Bs is called is called as Radio Network Controller (RNC).
Functions of Node B are: x Air Interface Tx/Rx x Modulation / Demodulation Functions of RNC are: x Radio Resource Control x Channel Allocation x Power Control Settings x Handover Control x Ciphering x Segmentation and Reassembly
