Aims of Presentation
To achieve a general understanding of UMTS system To identify the different UMTS network elements and
architecture
UE: User Equipment UTRAN: UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network Core Network
UMTS Architecture
All nodes and functions of the Radio Access Network (RAN) are contained in the Access Network domain. (See Figure 3)
The CN contains a multitude of switching systems as well as gateways to other networks such as PSTN/ISDN networks or the Internet.
the specific CN that a user uses at a specific point in time for access to UMTS services. The Transit Network domain contains the functions of transit networks. The Home Network domain functionality and
Types of Switching
In UMTS networks exist mainly two possibilities for exchanging information:
Circuit Switched Domain. Packet Switched Domain.
UMTS networks support both types of switching, in each case with special nodes in the CN. Both parts of the CN use the same Radio Access Network (RAN).
Call admission control. Radio resource management. Radio bearer setup and release. Code allocation. Power control. Packet scheduling Hangover. Encryption. Protocol Conversion ATM switching
Node B
Acts as the radio base station (BTS in GSM). There
are three types of Node B corresponding to the two UTRA modes: UTRA-FDD Node B, UTRA-TDD Node B and Dual-mode Node B. The main functions of Node B are the following:
Inner loop power control, synchronization Layer 1 task.(PHY)
Handover in UMTS
In UMTS there are mainly three different types of handover.
