UMTS (WCDMA) is one of the 3rd generation wireless systems. UMTS is designed to increase a subscriber’s data rates and system capacity. This course offers a technical overview of UMTS, focusing on the UMTS (WCDMA) air interface, radio networks and core networks. It covers the network architecture, components and basic operations of UMTS networks. In addition, this course explores the details of the WCDMA air interface technology and its ability to support multiple subscribers simultaneously. Aspects of CDMA technology pertaining to the WCDMA air interface including coding, modulation, spreading, scrambling, handovers and power control mechanisms are clearly explained. This course then focuses on Circuit Switched and Packet Switched Core Networks. The key concepts in the course are tied together with several system scenarios to provide insight into location management, mobility management and handovers.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Identify the driving forces, requirements and goals of UMTS • List the capabilities of UMTS (WCDMA) • Explain the evolution from GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks • Sketch the network architecture and identify the network nodes and interfaces • Describe how functions such as mobility management and handovers are performed in UMTS • Step through the setup of voice and data calls in UMTS networks • Identify the UMTS-GSM interworking scenarios • Discuss the features and benefits of HSDPA and HSUPA • Discuss the features and benefits of HSPA+ • Discuss the features and benefits of LTE
