The 3G system consists of two main parts: the User Equipment (UE) and the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) . The UE is the mobile phone and the UTRAN is the base station and the network intelligence. Both the UE and the UTRAN are composed of different layers.
Read moreWhat is the main features of UMTS architecture?
The UMTS network architecture is partly based on existing 2G network components and some new 3G network components. It inherits the basic functional elements from the GSM architecture on the core network (CN) side . The CN provides circuit switched (CS) functions as well as packet switched (PS) functions.
