Product Description
UMTS Signaling focuses on providing an overview and reference to UMTS UTRAN and Core networks. Details of the standards, the network architecture, objectives and functions of the different interfaces and protocols are described and the latest updates for Rel. 4, Rel. 5 and Rel. 6 features are included. Additionally it comprehensively describes various procedures from Node B Setup to different Handover types in the UTRAN and the Core Network. The focus on wireline interfaces is unique in the market. All signaling sequences are based upon UMTS traces from various UMTS networks (trial and commercial networks) around the world.

With this book you have access to the first universal UMTS protocol sequence reference, which allows you to quickly differentiate valid from invalid call control procedures. In addition all the main signaling stages are explained, many of which had been left unclear in the standards and valuable tips for protocol monitoring are provided.

UMTS Signalling gives you:

  • An in-depth description of the tasks and functions of
    • UMTS interfaces
    • UMTS protocols
  • Potential to analyze specific protocol messages
  • Support to reduce time and effort to detect and analyze problems
  • Explanations of how to locate problems in the network
  • Tips and tricks for practical interface monitoring

A valuable resource for Network operators and equipment manufacturers: engineers, technicians, network planners, developers, researchers, designers, testing personnel and project managers.

From the Back Cover
The successful trial, deployment, operation and troubleshooting of 3G or UMTS infrastructures and applications is the biggest challenge facing today’s mobile communications. Network element instability, network element and multi-vendor interoperability, configuration and network planning faults are just a few of the challenges affecting performance and profitability that need to be addressed. 

This book is an invaluable guide to resolving such problems. A cutting-edge, comprehensive approach to the standards, network architecture, objectives and functions of the various UMTS interfaces and protocols, backed up by real-world examples gleaned from the latest worldwide research.

  • Contains comprehensive descriptions and documentation of UMTS reference scenarios for different UMTS procedures
  • Includes the latest updates for Rel.4, Rel.5 and Rel.6
  • Gives valuable tips and tricks for practical interface monitoring
  • Provides advice on handover procedures for 3G-3G, 3G-GSM and GSM-3G handovers
  • Initiates a discussion on core network switch (MSC, SGSN) and database (HLR, VLR) information exchange over Mobile Application Part (MAP)
  • Reveals detailed information on RANAP, BSSAP and RRC 

The unified comprehensive approach will appeal to engineers, technicians, network operators, integrators and systems suppliers who need to understand and analyze the message flows on the line interfaces to install, trial, test, operate, optimize or troubleshoot UMTS networks. It will also be an invaluable resource for postgraduates on telecommunications courses, especially those with a focus on signal analysis.
