The key purpose of this book is to give a deep insight into UMTS signaling on the wireline interfaces. If you are an engineer or technician at a network operators, integrators or system suppliers, it is vital that, not only do you understand what is going on within the radio interface, you can fully understand and analyse the message flows on the line interfaces in order to install, trial, test, operate, optimise and troubleshoot UMTS networks. In this volume the authors use their wealth of experience to discuss the radio interface clearly. Divided into two parts: Part one provides a short refresher on various UMTS aspects such as network architecture, objectives and functions of different interfaces and various protocols. Part two focuses on UMTS scenarios described in the same way that can be found in real networks. The authors use information they have gained through their international contacts Provides a deep insight into all aspects of UMTS signaling Comprehensively covers the ‘wireline interfaces of UTRAN’ taking information from real UMTS trace Provides crucial information for network operators and equipment suppliers keen to understand how to handle and analyse UMTS signaling procedures in order to get the network into operation, detect errors and troubleshoot fault Uses first hand, real world information to explain issues which are unclear in the standard A valuable resource for Network operators and equipment manufacturers: engineers, technicians, network planners, developers, researchers, designers, testing personnel and project managers Read Less
