Book Description

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) ist die dritte Generation von Telekommunikationssystemen und beruht auf der Funkschnittstelle WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). WCDMA bietet im Vergleich zu CDMA Vorteile durch die Nutzung eines breiteren Übertragungsbandes, eine hohe Übertragungsrate (maximal 2 Mbit/s) sowie eine gesteigerte Systemkapazität und Kommunikationsqualität durch statistisches Multiplexing. UMTS macht Dienste für die Benutzer von mobilen Computern und Mobiltelefonen unabhängig von ihrem Standort zugänglich und ermöglicht innovative Dienste (zum Beispiel pay-per-bit, pay-per-session, flat rate, asymmetric bandwidth, Video Conferencing, Virtual Home Environment und andere). Dieser Band führt Sie in zellulare Netze und die digitale Kommunikation ein. Behandelt werden die Funkschnittstelle, der Funkzugang und das Basisnetzwerk. Gut verständlich werden die 99er Spezifikation erklärt sowie UMTS-Dienste und zukünftige Dienste, die über 3G hinausgehen, vorgestellt. Viele Übungsaufgaben, teils mit Lösungen, erleichtern das Vertiefen des Stoffes.

Book Description

UMTS is not about Technology, it is about Services... The UMTS or 3G environment is the ultimate convergence of fixed and mobile, voice and data, content and delivery. The result will be the largest and most complex communications system that man has designed. If you want a challenge then this is the industry to be in. Services for UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) or 3G (3rd Generation mobile networks) is a book about the near future, where UMTS allows mobile phones and other devices for communication, entertainment, personalised services, utility and fun to be used in new ways. While it is difficult to predict the potential of UMTS in the future in a precise way, broad categories and general service ideas are emerging. This book looks at over 200 of these possible applications and provides more detailed scenarios for over 100 of them. It explores these ideas in depth, with suggestions on how to create exciting and viable services for a new world. This book intends to answer many of the current UMTS service questions as well as introduce new ideas and concepts to enable operators to create a winning UMTS services strategy. * What should the focus of service creation be to ensure early time to profit in UMTS? * What are the key market segments that should be addressed with UMTS services? * Is there a killer application or applications that will revolutionise the industry? * What are the differentiating factors that will separate the leaders from the UMTS pack? * 15 aspects of the business analyzed by value chains and business models * The 5 M's of successful UMTS Service Definition Written for the non-technical reader and with a strong business focus, Services for UMTS is a "must-read" for anybody wanting to enter the UMTS environment, make money in it, or to understand it.

Book Description

GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance - Second Edition provides a complete overview of the entire GSM system. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is the digital transmission technique widely adopted in Europe and supported in North America. It features comprehensive descriptions of GSM’s main evolutionary milestones - GPRS, (General Packet Radio Services) is a packet-based wireless communication service that promises data rates from 56 up to 114 Kbps and continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users. AMR and EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment), and such developments have now positioned GERAN (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network) as a full 3G radio standard. The radio network performance and capabilities of GSM, GPRS, AMR and EDGE solutions are studied in-depth by using revealing simulations and field trials. Cellular operators must now roll out new 3G technologies capable of delivering wireless Internet based multimedia services in a competitive and cost-effective way and this volume, divided into three parts, helps to explain how: 1. Provides an introduction to the complete evolution of GSM towards a radio access network that efficiently supports UMTS services (GERAN). 2. Features a comprehensive study of system performance with simulations and field trials. Covers all the major features such as basic GSM, GPRS, EDGE and AMR and the full capability of the GERAN radio interface for 3G service support is envisaged. 3. Discusses different 3G radio technologies and the position of GERAN within such technologies. Featuring fully revised and updated chapters throughout, the second edition contains 90 pages of new material and features the following new sections, enabling this reference to remain as a leading text in the area: Expanded material on GPRS Includes IMS architecture (Rel’5) and GERAN (Rel’6) features Presents field trial results for AMR and narrowband Provides EGPRS deployment guidelines Features a new chapter on Service Performance An invaluable reference for Engineering Professionals, Research and Development Engineers, Business Development Managers, Technical Managers and Technical Specialists working for cellular operators

Book Description

Translated from the second edition of a successful French publication, this book has been thoroughly updated to include full coverage of the new UMTS standard. It looks at the topic from a system's point of view and covers both the architecture and the techniques employed in the UMTS network. The introductory chapters cover the origins of UMTS and its relation to the other third generation technologies. The later chapters are more technical and describe different aspects such as the architecture, the structure of the radio interface, the protocols used and the importance of the GSM inheritance.
