NEW: Instant online access with every eLearning purchase The need for a 3G network to provide more value added services to wireless subscribers has become apparent. UMTS provides a new, "open" communications universe that will allow service providers to supply a host of new services. All of these services are offered in UMTS using two basic mechanisms. The first is circuit switched call setup to support the traditional voice based services. The second is packet-switched data session establishment. This is used to establish data sessions based on the services’ bandwidth and Quality of Service requirements. This course offers an eLearning experience of UMTS signaling. This course also discusses the processes of establishing a circuit-switched voice call and a packet-switched data session.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Highlight the differences between user plane and control plane • Specify different radio access signaling and core network signaling protocols • Define the basic circuit-switched call setup in UMTS • Explain how the signaling and control mechanisms are used in UMTS • Define the “Always connected” paradigm in UMTS networks • Describe traffic delivery of packet data information within the UMTS network
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those seeking a detailed understanding of the WCDMA air interface that is used in UMTS. This includes those in a design, test, systems engineering, sales engineering network engineering, or verification role.
