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.
Read moreWhat is UTRAN architecture?
UTRAN (short for “‘UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network”) is a collective term for the network and equipment that connects mobile handsets to the public telephone network or the Internet .
Read moreWhat are the components of UMTS explain in detail?
UMTS specifies a complete network system, which includes the radio access network (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network, or UTRAN), the core network (Mobile Application Part, or MAP) and the authentication of users via SIM (subscriber identity module) cards.
Read moreWhat are the parts of a UMTS network architecture?
The UMTS network is divided into two logical networks, i.e., core network (CN) and radio access network (RAN) . The CN and RAN are connected via an open interface. The network architecture is continuously evolving to enable a smooth transition from 2G to 3G, leveraging existing and new technologies.
