Course 336 - GSM 3G WCDMA Migration: UMTS, UTRA
Scope
This
one-day seminar examines the migration path from GSM systems into
third-generation UMTS operation. The seminar extends the 2.5G GPRS and EDGE modes
described in Course 335 to the full third generation operation known as UMTS
(Universal Mobile Telecommunications Services) and implemented in UTRA (UMTS
Terrestrial Radio Access). At conclusion, participants should be able to
identify the channel structure, network architecture, key capabilities and
features of UMTS.
Applicability
3G
Wireless systems of all technologies and manufacturers.
