UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) ist die dritte Generation von Telekommunikationssystemen und beruht auf der Funkschnittstelle WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). WCDMA bietet im Vergleich zu CDMA Vorteile durch die Nutzung eines breiteren Übertragungsbandes, eine hohe Übertragungsrate (maximal 2 Mbit/s) sowie eine gesteigerte Systemkapazität und Kommunikationsqualität durch statistisches Multiplexing. UMTS macht Dienste für die Benutzer von mobilen Computern und Mobiltelefonen unabhängig von ihrem Standort zugänglich und ermöglicht innovative Dienste (zum Beispiel pay-per-bit, pay-per-session, flat rate, asymmetric bandwidth, Video Conferencing, Virtual Home Environment und andere). Dieser Band führt Sie in zellulare Netze und die digitale Kommunikation ein. Behandelt werden die Funkschnittstelle, der Funkzugang und das Basisnetzwerk. Gut verständlich werden die 99er Spezifikation erklärt sowie UMTS-Dienste und zukünftige Dienste, die über 3G hinausgehen, vorgestellt. Viele Übungsaufgaben, teils mit Lösungen, erleichtern das Vertiefen des Stoffes.

This revised edition provides professionals with an up-to-date introduction to third generation (3G) mobile communication system principles, concepts, and applications, without the use of advanced mathematics. This newly revised edition of an Artech House bestseller provides professionals with an up-to-date introduction to third generation (3G) mobile communication system principles, concepts, and applications, without the use of advanced mathematics. The second edition ncludes an even more thorough treatment of potential 3G applications and descriptions of new, emerging technologies.

This book explains the basic components, technologies used, and operation of UMTS LTE systems. You will discover why mobile telephone service providers are upgrading their 2nd and 3rd generation digital mobile systems to more efficient and feature rich UMTS LTE systems. Discover the key features that UMTS LTE systems provide that go beyond the capabilities of existing 2G and 3G mobile systems such as ultra high-speed Internet (100 Mbps+), television (multicast video), and low latency services (packet voice). Explained are the physical and logical radio channel structures of the UMTS LTE systems along with the basic frame and slot structures. Described are the fundamental capabilities and operation of the UMTS LTE radio channel including channel coding, modulation types, low-latency transmission and how transmission reliability is improved using MIMO technology. You will discover the key functional sections of UMTS LTE networks and how they communicate with each other. Learn how and why UMTS LTE systems separate control channels from user data channels. Learn how UMTS LTE systems can co-exist and interoperate with existing mobile systems which simplify the migration plan from less efficient mobile systems to more cost effective and capable UMTS LTE systems. Learn how spatial division multiple access (SDMA) can be used by UMTS LTE systems to provide dramatic increases in system capacity. The evolution of 3G systems into UMTS LTE systems explained. Some of the most important topics featured in this book are: How UMTS LTE systems operate UMTS LTE voice, data, and multimedia services The types of UMTS LTE products and their uses The UMTS LTE radio channel structure The types of physical and logical channels UMTS LTE network components and interfaces Evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (E-MBMS) Location based services (LBS) IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) UMTS LTE technology evolution to in4G

Highly regarded as the book on the air interface of 3G cellular systems WCDMA for UMTS has again been fully revised and updated. The third edition now covers the key features of 3GPP Release 6 ensuring it remains the leading principal resource in this constantly progressing area. By providing a deep understanding of the WCDMA air interface, the practical approach of this third edition will continue to appeal to operators, network and terminal manufacturers, service providers, university students and frequency regulators. Explains the key parts of the 3GPP/WCDMA standard Presents network dimensioning, coverage and capacity of WCDMA Introduces TDD and discusses its differences from FDD Key third edition updates include: Covers the main 3GPP Release 6 updates Further enhances High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) chapter with a number of new simulation results Explains High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) study item Introduces the new services including their performance analysis : Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC), streaming, See What I See (SWIS) and multiplayer games Presents a number of new WCDMA field measurement results: capacity, end-to-end performance and handovers Includes completely updated antenna beamforming and multiuser detection sections featuring new simulation results Introduces TD-SCDMA and compares it to Release TDD

Translated from the second edition of a successful French publication, this book has been thoroughly updated to include full coverage of the new UMTS standard. It looks at the topic from a system's point of view and covers both the architecture and the techniques employed in the UMTS network. The introductory chapters cover the origins of UMTS and its relation to the other third generation technologies. The later chapters are more technical and describe different aspects such as the architecture, the structure of the radio interface, the protocols used and the importance of the GSM inheritance.
